About CSARRN
Child sexual abuse is a complex and harmful crime type that requires multi-sector collaboration to address. In 2023, the Child Sexual Abuse Reduction Research Network was launched with the aim of bringing together scholars, practitioners, government agencies, and private and not-for-profit organizations from around the world to develop new and multi-disciplinary approaches to addressing this crime type.
Join the Event
The network will be hosting its 4th annual workshop in Toronto, Canada on December 9-10, 2026, which will involve presentations from leading researchers and practitioners from around the world.
The workshop will cover a wide range of relevant topics, including understanding offender behavior patterns and pathways, new investigatory methods and approaches, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the use of offender-based interventions and prevention initiatives, as well as the provision of support to victim-survivors.
