events with key stakeholder groups. The scoping report and literature review have been published and are available for download at the project web-site 2 Characteristics of Online Groomers, Technology and Websites • Online groomers are not a homogenous group in terms of their demographic and offending characteristics. Scores on Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) standardised tests were high, with a FSIQ score of over 110 common. The current offence of online grooming also tended to be the first conviction for the sample. • Limited education or training in ICT was not a barrier to achieving a sophisticated understanding of computing and the Internet. Learning was developed at the workplace and/or by covertly watching the behaviour of family members online. Desktop computers, laptops as well as gaming consoles were all used to facilitate online grooming. The map of sites and chat-rooms accessed by participants encompassed: social networking sites; instant messaging; online dating/romance; image exchange; and sexual abuse sites. Finally, the extent of some groomers’ activity meant being online for four to six hours (outside of work) a day. Features of Online Grooming • Six features of online grooming were identified alongside two important concurrent factors: offence maintenance and risk management. Movement through the different features of online grooming was neither unitary nor linear. Instead, it was cyclical and involved a pattern of adoption, maintenance, relapse, and readoption. • The process of online grooming was described as taking minutes, hours, days or months. Consequently, online groomers remained at different behavioural points for various lengths of time according to a dynamic inter-relationship between their goals and needs, and the style, needs or reactions of the young person. 2 http://www.europeanonlinegroomingproject.com/ 6 of 152 |Final report European Online Grooming Project_
