Online Child Sexual Abuse: Grooming, Policing and Child Protection
in a Multi-Media World addresses the complex, multi-faceted and, at
times, counter-intuitive relationships between online grooming
behaviours, risk assessment, police practices, and the actual
danger of subsequent abuse in the physical world. Online child
sexual abuse has become a high profile and important issue in
public life. When children are victims, there is clearly intense
public and political interest and concern. Sex offenders are
society's most reviled deviants and the object of seemingly
undifferentiated public fear and loathing. This may be evidenced in
ongoing efforts to advance legislation, develop police tactics and
to educate children and their carers to engage with multi-media and
the internet safely. Understanding how sex offenders use the
internet and how the police and the government are responding to
their behaviour is central to the development of preventative
measures. Based on extensive ethnographic research conducted with
the police and a specialist paedophile unit, here Elena Marellozzo
presents an informed analysis of online child sexual abuse: of the
patterns and characteristics of online grooming, and of the
challenges and techniques that characterize its policing.
Connecting theory, research and practice in the field of policing,
social policy, victimology and criminology, this book adds
significantly to our understanding and knowledge of the problem of
online child sexual abuse, the way in which victims are targeted
and how this phenomenon is, and might be, policed.
