Abstract
This review paper aims to present a concept of crime prevention on various applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for combatting online child sexual abuse and exploitation. It primarily focuses on the importance of online child sexual abuse prevention and the role of artificial intelligence in child protection. Importantly, the concept of environmental crime prevention strategies including public health model of crime prevention and situational crime prevention has been employed to elaborate the concept of online child sexual abuse prevention by the application of AI-based tools. The proposed crime prevention strategy has been analysed in comparison with the COVID-19 prevention and control strategy which includes three levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. This crime prevention concept is expected to reduce the opportunities for offending and child victimisation, improve access to justice for children by AI-enabled hotlines for reporting suspected online child abuse, and accelerate the removals of child sexual abuse material by the application of AI-based tools in the online environment.
