| Summary: | Online grooming is a topic of increased importance in global debates. This pioneering text offers a comprehensive overview of the established themes and emergent debates relating to the online abuse and victimization of children. With important new findings from a European study of onling grooming, the first and largest study of its kind, this book provides a unique insight into the behavior of offenders and those who are 'groomed', aiming to understand the 'place' of the child in relation to the characteristics of online groomer behavior. It explores how information communication technology facilitates online grooming, as well as the role and impact of social media. |
