Investigating crimes against children has been at the forefront of law enforcement’s initiatives to dedicate specialized manpower and equipment in order to battle this issue. It is not an easy issue to tackle as it manifests in many different ways and sometimes requires three or more specialized units working together to bring the offenders to justice and then another specialized unit to manage the offenders after release.
This white paper will examine the realities of investigating human trafficking and child exploitation specifically around the age estimation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The paper will conclude with how ADF Solutions along with technology partner, Suspect Technologies, helps investigators collect and analyze CSAM. This is then used to create actionable, shareable reports to build a solid case against suspected perpetrators in order to prevent revictimization.
