| Abstract | |
The mass diffusion of the Internet since the 1990s and the development and expansion of easy access to information and communication technologies placed online sexual violence as a focus of attention for those concerned with child and adolescent protection. In the wake of the usual discussions on child pornography, an increasing concern has emerged about situations of online grooming or luring. This article reflects on Canada's movement to criminalize online luring/grooming, and makes some remarks based on Court Reports from the province of Ontario in the years 2002 to 2014. From 2002 on, Section 172.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada prohibits communications between adults and children via information and communication technologies that could result in a sexual offence. The study is not focused on luring in itself, but on the beliefs, values and ideologies identified in its agenda. It discusses the representations of children, adult offenders and online environment that stand as the foundations of the process of criminalizing online luring, and are also found in the reports of the studied cases and decisions in connection with the crime.
