Abstract:

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.
