Description
"Grooming" as a criminal offense involves the deliberate actions of an adult to establish emotional connections and trust with a child, often with the intention of eventual sexual abuse or exploitation. This phenomenon includes both physical and digital environments, where perpetrators exploit vulnerabilities and manipulate relationships to gain access to their victims. This paper will compare the criminal codes of the Republic of Kosovo, Slovenia, Austria, Sweden, and Switzerland regarding the criminal offense of “Grooming.” Additionally, it includes a case study to better explain why the criminal offense of “Grooming” should be included in the Criminal code, and not have the victims of this offense punished under the sexual abuse criminal offense.
Keywords:
