Abstract
This paper provides an overview of key conceptual issues in the definition and
understanding of grooming. It takes a narrative review approach to synthesising key
literature, drawing on an understanding of perpetrator modus operandi. It identifies and
discusses what is known about grooming, particularly as it relates to institutional child sexual
abuse.
