Filtering and monitoring software should be fitted as standard or supplied free to schools, libraries and parents. <br /> <br />Internet service providers should be made responsible and accountable for what goes through their networks, and mandatory legislation put into place that forces them to monitor those networks. <br /> <br />There should be much harsher punishments put into place for convicted paedophiles, and those that create, distribute, or collect child pornography and the post release monitoring of those individuals should be made more effective in order to try to prevent reoffending. <br /> <br />More time and money should be spent on research in order to try prevention of offending in the first place, and more resources put into place to provide ongoing support for victims and survivors of abuse. <br /> <br />We intend to lobby Parliament and encourage people to start asking where their present Parliamentary representatives stand on these issues. </p> </div></td> <br /> <br /> </tr> </table> </div> <br /> <br /> <img src="images/headers/line.png" /><br /> <br /> <span style="color:#999999"> &copy; 2011 | <a href="http://www.rockagainstchildpornography.org" target="_self">Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse UK</a></span> <br /> <br /> <img src="images\logos\RACPAlogo.png" border="0" alt="UK Main page default"> </center> </div> </body> </html>
