DURHAM — Researchers from the University of New Hamsphire’s Crimes against Children Research Center were instrumental in a new report published by the World Health Organization that presents ways to address the growing worldwide concern of keeping children safe online.
“Technology can be a wonderful tool but it’s important that we also make it a safe one,” said David Finkelhor, professor of sociology and director of UNH’s Crimes against Children Research Center. “This report highlights the effectiveness of implementing educational programs designed for children and parents to help reduce the levels of online victimization. Safety online can be addressed in the same way we address the wide variety of childhood risks such as delinquency, substance use, bullying and risky sexual behavior.”
