This Element examines technology-assisted grooming of children for
sex – henceforth, online grooming – as an illegal practice of
communicative manipulation and, as such, something that research
within the academic field of forensic linguistics is ideally placed
to help counter. The analysis draws upon online grooming datasets
of different sizes and provenance, including from law enforcement,
and deploys different analytic techniques from primarily discourse
analysis. Three features of online grooming discourse are focussed
on: groomers' use of manipulation tactics; groomers' abuse of power
asymmetries; and children's communication during online grooming.
The Element also discusses ways in which findings derived from
richly contextualised analysis of online grooming discourse can –
when combined with co-creation projects involving
child-safeguarding groups, children and lived-experience experts
– add considerable value to societal efforts to counter online
grooming and other forms of online child sexual exploitation and
abuse.
