Study for the Termination of Online Predators
S.T.O.P., the Study for the Termination of Online Predators, is a research agenda established to bring together scholars from various disciplines to combat mediated criminal behaviors. 

Stopandhelp.org is an information portal for S.T.O.P. that provides concerned adults, both parents and researchers, the knowledge they need to protect children from online sexual predators. This portal acts only to direct concerned adults to relevant information that exists on and off the Internet.
