Request for Literature: Behaviour and Characteristics of Perpetrators of Online-facilitated Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

6 December 2016

To gain an understanding of the most up to date research on perpetrators of online-facilitated child sexual abuse, we have commissioned NatCen Social Research to undertake a review of published and unpublished literature

The Inquiry has commissioned NatCen Social Research to provide us with a review of the most up to date research on the characteristics and behaviours of perpetrators of online-facilitated child sexual abuse (CSA). The findings will help pinpoint areas where further research is needed and help inform IICSA's investigations. They may also inform recommendations for policy and practice. IICSA and NatCen are asking organisations to let us know about any unpublished literature or ongoing research in this area. Full details of the request can be found in the library on our website.
