Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This report describes 103 cases of offenders arrested for child pornography possession identified in a Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) police database designed to explore likely characteristics of offenders accessing, distributing or producing illegal images of children in the online or Internet medium. The production and dissemination of child pornography (CP), child abuse materials (CAM) or child exploitation material (CEM) have been widely criminalized and international efforts to suppress its dissemination endorsed by many nations. The VGT comprises nine collaborating policing agencies combating the dissemination of CEM via the Internet and digital technologies. The data collected for this study focused on the apparent uptake of peer to peer (P2P) sources of CEM (usually pre-teen children and serious sexual abuse) previously noted by practitioners and researchers as well as the significant overlap between such use and offenses against children (Wolak et al. 2011). Policing agencies are concerned that increased accessibility to such CEM may also increase risks of assault on children and whether the online trade in CEM has amplified or escalated the demand for newer and more extreme images of child sexual abuse.
