Online Grooming
Online Grooming
Considering the typology and character of contemporary white-collar cybercrime in particular, it can be argued that the genre incorporates analogous processes common to a number of other types of crime that appear as emblematic for cybercrime generally. Typical examples that employ comparable and often complex techniques are hacking and cracking, online grooming of specific targets, and sharp practice in accessing illicit or restricted information. We might learn from offender characteristics, for example, why they choose online rather than offline when they want to attract the attention of their victims for sexual abuse. Therefore, this chapter presents research regarding online grooming to identify characteristics of cyberspace that make online offending so different from offline offending

Abstract
Considering the typology and character of contemporary white-collar cybercrime in particular, it can be argued that the genre incorporates analogous processes common to a number of other types of crime that appear as emblematic for cybercrime generally. Typical examples that employ comparable and often complex techniques are hacking and cracking, online grooming of specific targets, and sharp practice in accessing illicit or restricted information. We might learn from offender characteristics, for example, why they choose online rather than offline when they want to attract the attention of their victims for sexual abuse. Therefore, this chapter presents research regarding online grooming to identify characteristics of cyberspace that make online offending so different from offline offending
