Abstract | This chapter offers an overview of the nature of online sexual grooming, the types of online groomers that have been identified and ‘classified’ in the latest studies. It also highlights some of the risk factors that affect the likelihood of children and young people becoming victims of online grooming. It indicates that online sexual solicitation through social networking sites has become increasingly concerning in recent years, with the Internet offering opportunities for sex offenders to engage in grooming behaviour. Furthermore, children and young people’s increased use of information communication technologies, their risk-taking behaviour and their frequent silence around sexual abuse, have presented serious safety concerns for the most vulnerable users online. |
