'Grooming' and the Sexual Abuse of Children: Institutional,
Internet and Familial Dimensions critically examines the official
and popular discourses on grooming, predominantly framed within the
context of online sexual exploitation and abuse committed by
strangers, and institutional child abuse committed by those in
positions of trust. Set against the broader theoretical framework
of risk, security and governance, this book argues that due to the
difficulties of drawing clear boundaries between innocuous and
harmful motivations towards children, pre-emptive risk-based
criminal law and policy are inherently limited in preventing,
targeting and criminalising 'grooming' behaviour prior to the
manifestation of actual harm. Through examination of grooming
against the complexities of the onset of sexual offending against
children and its actual role in this process, the author broadens
existing discourses by providing a fuller, more nuanced
conceptualisation of grooming, including its role in intra-familial
and extra-familial contexts. There is also timely discussion of new
and emerging forms of grooming, such as 'street' or 'localised'
grooming, as typified by recent cases in Rochdale and Oldham, and
'peer-to-peer' grooming. The first inter-disciplinary, thematic,
and empirical investigation of grooming in a multi-jurisdictional
context, 'Grooming' and the Sexual Abuse of Children draws on
extensive empirical research in the form of over fifty interviews
with professionals, working in the fields of sex offender risk
assessment, management or treatment, as well as child protection or
victim support in the four jurisdictions of the United Kingdom and
the Republic of Ireland. Impeccably presented and meticulously
considered, this book will be of interest to criminologists and
those working and studying in the field of policing and criminal
justice studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners in the
areas of child protection and sex offender management.
