It explores the process by which an individual seeking to commit a sexual offense skillfully manipulates a potential victim into situations in which abuse can be more readily committed, while simultaneously preventing disclosure and detection. This volume addresses this understudied phenomenon and comprehensively examines what is currently known about the construct. It provides a thorough introduction to the sexual grooming literature, focusing on the history of the term and how sexual grooming strategies have become more publicly recognized through high-profile cases, as well as those in child-serving organizations (e.g., Catholic Church, Boy Scouts of America). The book reviews the various proposed models of sexual grooming – including the Sexual Grooming Model (SGM) – that detail the overarching steps or stages involved in the process. It discusses attempts to define the construct of sexual grooming and addresses potential consequences of sexual grooming, emphasizing how victims, families, and communities at large may be affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey areas of coverage include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  Unique      contexts and facets in which sexual grooming behavior has been observed,      including online grooming, personal\/self-grooming, familial grooming,      institutional grooming, and grooming behaviors of females.  \u003cli\u003eThe      ways in which sexual grooming strategies may be manifested in sex      trafficking cases and in adult sexual abuse.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAssessment      and treatment of sexual grooming, as well as prevention strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe      implementation of grooming research to inform law enforcement efforts and      court decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe      creation and adoption of legislation and policies designed to prevent      sexual grooming.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChild Sexual Grooming\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, professors, graduate students, clinicians, mental health therapists, legal professionals, policy makers, law enforcement, and related professionals in developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychology, social work, public health, criminology\/criminal justice, forensic psychology, and behavioral therapy and rehabilitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-09-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031072246\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-07222-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716790763660,"sku":"9783031072246","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031072246.jpg?v=1776866725","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031072246","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
