Researchers in Switzerland took unique advantage of a 2002 sweep of child

definitive answers but does an important job of adding to the generally murky 
picture we have of different ways people sexually offend against children and 
the different kinds of people who do it.

New Zealand proposes new "3 strikes" process for P2P users
New Zealand's first attempt at passing a "three strikes" law fell apart as 
rights holders and Internet service providers were unable to agree on a 
voluntary code of practice. One of the biggest concerns was the lack of due 
process; how could New Zealand avoid presuming that the accused were guilty yet 
still develop a means of judging accusations that was cheaper and faster than 
the country's High Court?
