Online Offending Behaviour and Child Victimisation

Exploring a range of issues including the role of social media and the behaviour and psychopathology of online offenders, this pioneering text provides a comprehensive overview of the established themes and emergent debates relating to the online sexual abuse and victimisation of children.

"A tour de force and a tour d'horizon. Davidson, Webster and Bifulco have long established themselves as Europe's leading researchers in the field of online child sex abuse and this book is further evidence showing why that title is so richly deserved." - John Carr OBE, Senior Expert Adviser to the United Nations (International Telecommunication Union)
