Summary
Details

In the digital era, the protection of children becomes complex as technology enables new forms of exploitation and abuse. Online platforms, social media, and communication tools have created both opportunities and vulnerabilities, making it easier for predators to exploit minors. In response, child protection laws have rapidly evolved, with many countries enacting stricter regulations around digital content, data privacy, and the tech company responsibilities. However, challenges remain, including jurisdiction limitations, offender anonymity, and the rapid speed of technological development over policy and lawmaking. As cybercrimes against children rise, a strong legal framework combined with global cooperation, advanced digital forensics, and public awareness may safeguard future children's rights and well-being. Child Protection Laws and Crime in the Digital Era explores the effects of technology on digital policy and regulations. It examines new laws related to child protection and crimes associated with the rising usage of social media and digital technology. This book covers topics such as government and law, criminology, and childhood development, and is a useful resource for policymakers, government officials, engineers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
