SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 67
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Social isolation affects the nature of a child's online behaviour and the amount of their online activity, as well as their propensity to seek help when problems arise. The likelihood of reporting concerns to the authorities is lower when young people lack confidence in the police, or where police officers are perceived to lack the knowledge and skills necessary to act in a child-sensitive manner and to effectively address crimes associated with new technologies.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
