L'infanzia violata : devianza reticolare e digitalizzazione della pedopornografia

Sexuality experienced through the internet poses a huge challenge in terms of responsibility: mapping the phenomenon, an activity which today is very fragmentary, seems a determining element to develop adequate legal analysis and to study intervention policies aimed at contrasting degenerations. In this article, after defining pedopornography from a legal point of view, the authors describe the ways in which pedopornographic contents are produced and spread, as well as the metamorphosis of this kind of deviance in a space the web that makes the border between producers and users more and more blurred. Lastly, the authors will analyse the upsurge of new criminal activities characterised by new and unedited configurations specifically due to digital technologies and criminal policies introduced to adjust regulatory instruments to new scenarios of illegality designed by the net.
