The Inquiry is seeking bids from research bodies or institutions to carry out two literature reviews

UNITED KINGDOM
Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

15 August

The research strand of the Inquiry is seeking to commission researchers to carry out two Rapid Evidence Assessments (literature reviews):

* Behaviour and Characteristics of Perpetrators of Online-Facilitated Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

* Characteristics and Vulnerabilities of Victims of Online-Facilitated Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

The overarching questions that these procurements seek to answer are:

* What is known about the behaviour and characteristics of people who sexually abuse or exploit children, where such abuse is facilitated by the Internet?

* What is known about the characteristics, vulnerabilities and on- and offline behaviour of victims of online-facilitated child sexual abuse and exploitation?
