Summary:
With this paper, the writer attempts a thorough review of the phenomenon of attracting children for sexual purposes through modern information systems and the Internet. The phenomenon, known internationally as “online grooming”, has emerged more and more in the recent years, due to the rapid developments brought up by the new techonologies of modern everyday life. Moreover, the new possibilities offered by these new technologies have led to new criminal activities, as new forms of delinquent behavior have been introduced, while existing ones have evolved.
Cyberspace has become a conducive environment for criminals looking for seducing young children. Children, on the other hand, are exposed to dangers while navigating and interacting with strangers on the Internet. These dangers are mostly related to acts of sexual exploitation and abuse. The computer screen works as a fake security environment for the children, who, at times, operate, navigate and chat with people, ignoring the possible dangers posing to the chaotic world of the Internet.
The phenomenon of child sexual abuse and exploitation, mostly being related to “grooming” practices, implies the active action of modern civilized and favored societies in the name of child protection.
With this paper the writer seeks for a forensic, broad-based, approach to the phenomenon of “online grooming”. In this context, the first part (Chapters 1 and 2) of the thesis attempts to outline the processes and stages inherented in the process of approaching and communicating with a minor victim with the aim of sexual abuse. In particular, the conceptual approach of the term "online grooming" is attempted, as shown by the review of the relevant forensic literature and the legal definition provided by the Greek Criminal Code.
During the study, a presentation of the features and types of perpetrators/ groomers and their victims is attempted, and these elements are always considered alongside the Internet's unique environment.
The second part of the thesis is dedicated in approaching the suitable theoretical explanatory backgrounds applying on the phenomenon of “online grooming”. As a result, the second part (Chapter Three) of the study examines the criminological theories that contribute to the interpretation of the phenomenon of "online grooming".
In the third part (Chapters Four, Fifth and Sixth) of this study, an overview of the legal provisions provided in the domestic and foreign legal orders regarding the phenomenon of “online grooming”, is attempted. Lastly, it was considered necessary to refer to the action of the special prosecution authorities who are in charge of the suppression of the phenomenon, with a special emphasis on the use of specific investigative methods (such as undercovert investigations), as well as the depiction of the phenomenon in practice through court rulings of Greek Courts.
