Digital Grooming

Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming: Discourses of Manipulation and Cyber-Crime, Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes the criminal practices of digital sexual grooming, digital ideological grooming, and digital commercial grooming. The findings of this book can inform practitioner-based attempts at countering digital grooming, including the development of detection software and prevention-focused training resources.
