Fighting crimes against children is extremely difficult and requires the involvement of many entities and people. Their scale is constantly growing, especially due to the rapid development of information technology.
In this expert opinion, the author presents the project „Project Safe Childhood”, which was launched in 2006 by the US Department of Justice in response to the growing epidemic of psychological violence and physical sexual abuse of children.
