Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Growing

According to the Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force there is a growing number of Internet crimes against children in Arizona: 2001-2008. 

Arizona reports of Internet crimes against children have grown dramatically in the past several years.  In 2008, the Arizona ICAC received 4,222 reported incidents, up from 832 in 2007.  Most of the reports involved either unlawful images depicting the sexual exploitation of minors or the luring of minors for sexual exploitation.

The numbers highlight the need for increased enforcement of these serious crimes.
