Hello Everyone,
I am searching for population-based research on the prevalence of trolling behaviors. I have some books (Phillips, 2015 and Coleman, 2014) on this topic, but can not find research that discusses commonality of the behavior. While I know it is difficult to study trolling, even defining it is up for debate, but I would like to read more research. Any suggestions?
This has not really been studied within criminology, and therefore I am coming up empty-handed. Any advice is very much appreciated!
Best,
Becky
