Challenges

A core obstacle to online child exploitation investigations is identifying a victim and/or offender’s location. With this information, local investigators can be alerted. How can Child Rescue Coalition leverage technology to analyze chats with online criminal abusers to predict or identify a user’s location? Consider artificial intelligence, linguistics tools, etc.
