Gridsum leveraged its deep experience in big data analysis, natural language processing, and applying AI within China's legal ecosystem to analyze 15,645 juvenile cases involving the internet from 2014 to 2017 on China Judgements Online, a Chinese government court case database.

Key findings from the white paper include:

• Internet-related crimes involving minors accounted for 10.2% of all crimes involving minors during the period and continue to increase every year.
• Second and third tier cities in China's western regions have the highest incidence of internet-related crimes involving minors.
• Minors accounted for 55.7% of defendants and 25.86% of victims for internet-related minor crimes.
• Minor offenders were generally given lenient punishments while crimes involving minor victims were punished more severely, reflecting the strong judicial protections in place for minors.
• Frequent access to internet cafes and internet addiction are two major causes for internet-related crimes involving minors.

Mr. Guosheng Qi, Chief Executive Officer of Gridsum, commented, "We are proud to have jointly published this white paper on teens' and other minors' Internet-safety in China with Renmin University of China. Leveraging our big data analysis capability and experience in applying AI within China's legal ecosystem, this white paper will provide valuable insights into teens' and other minors' crimes involving the internet which will help strengthen policy and legal protections for this important group.
