statistics ASACP provides an online hotline for web surfers and webmasters to report suspected child pornography. Our many member sites provide links to this hotline, which receives thousands of reports every month. ASACP investigates these reports and determines the hosting, billing, IP address, ownership, and linkage of suspected CP sites. ASACP then forwards Red Flag reports to the appropriate government agencies and associations. These include the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, as well as European hotlines. total reports April 2012 SINCE 2003 * Raw Reports Received by Hotline 4,639 649,692 Average Raw Reports per Day 154 204 Red Flag Reports Forwarded ** 2 8,415 Non-website Reports Forwarded *** 1,248 93,830 monthly average reports by year 800 1300 1800 3056 4898 5177 4327 8508 8619 7363 7442 4890 3955 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

* ASACP's Online CP Reporting Hotline has been in operation since 1996. However, we have only been able to accurately track reporting statistics since August 14, 2003.

** This number is much lower than the total number of Raw Reports because the Raw Reports figures include a high percentage of duplicates (numerous reports of the same site), sites which ASACP has already reported, bad URLs (sites which are no longer active), non-website reports, verifiable legal sites (non-CP) and even spam.

*** Non-website refers to reports relating to user generated content on public or private forums, image sharing or social networking sites and other file sharing networks.
