Hello
Through previous communications you will be aware I am completing a PhD with the University of South Australia, into Trafficking and Concealment of Child Abuse Material (CAM). I have been progressing well and have completed two chapters so far and these will be released soon as individual research papers.
I am now moving to the next phase which is collecting progressive Case Studies, over the next 9 months, from Law Enforcement or other CAM monitoring Agencies.
Without burdening already overworked Investigators, what I am requesting is that through the link the online Case Study Surveys be completed, for every CAM case that is a complex trafficking and or concealment case. If it is just a simple possession case it will not be necessary, it is the more complex trafficking and file concealment cases I am interested in. I will then subsequently technically test some of the methods that were used and record what digital artefacts were relevant in the trafficking and concealment in the specific cases. This will eventually be promulgated to aid future investigations.
Your assistance in this research would be appreciated, at the end of the research I hope it will help us all and increase our success in these types of investigations. If you could forward this on to other staff it would also be appreciated.
The link to the web page is as follows

There are three pages the first page has two compulsory questions, then page 2 is for trafficking related cases, page 3 is for possession where the files have been concealed or complete both for a trafficking case where the files were also concealed. (There are instructions on the various web pages).
I am also open to comments or suggestions over the next 9 months will the surveys are open for collection.
Thank you for your assistance.
Regards
Allan
If you are trying to gather information across international borders I suggest you check that your terminology is understood the same way in each jurisdiction. Trafficking in the UK would be considered in the context of human trafficking is that what you mean the trafficking of children or do you mean the sharing and distribution of pictures.
Trafficking - The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power, or a position of vulnerability, or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
