Abstract: The internet is not a single network, limited to
one specific type of information or restrictive of the types of users who can access its information.
Conversely, the internet is an intercontinental
information highway that has enabled people of
all ages to communicate with family and friends
with lightning-fast speed, share and collect
information, and connect with people and companies
thousands of miles from their computer
(Roberts, Foehr, Rideout, & Brodie, 1999;
Rosenbaum et al., 2000; Smith & Rupp,
2002). However, this growth of information
technology has introduced a new form of criminality
to the criminal justice system: cyber crime
(Denning, 1998). The purpose of this research
study is to investigate the prevalence of cyber
criminality, specifically possession of child pornography,
in law enforcement jurisdictions and the
types of training which local and State law
enforcement agencies currently offer to effectively
combat these technological crimes.
