Hi Becky, Have you come across this recent Data & Society report? It focuses on online abuse, but does give information on the prevalence of abuse in the US: Lenhart, Amanda; Ybarra, Michele; Zickhur, Kathryn; Price-Feeney, Myesha. 2016. Online Harassment, Digital Abuse and Cyberstalking in America. *Data & Society. *URL: https://www.datasociety.net/pubs/oh/Online_Harassment_2016.pdf Chrissy Cook, from Tilburg University, presented some on-going work on trolling, based on interviews with trolls. I don't think it's available online, but here is her presentation title: Under the bridge: An in-depth exploration of trolling in online games <https://pure.uvt.nl/portal/en/publications/under-the-bridge(379c13c2-4a30-4e57-8020-721a0ad97bad).html>Cook, C. <https://pure.uvt.nl/portal/en/persons/cl-cook(cc348981-82d6-4cbf-92f3-74c36a803055).html> , Schaafsma, J. <https://pure.uvt.nl/portal/en/persons/j-schaafsma(f1b3998a-5406-461e-af8f-2323d1e8a7a7).html> & Antheunis, M. <https://pure.uvt.nl/portal/en/persons/ml-antheunis(6ec4f4eb-833d-47c1-8d2f-b65d0b1540f5).html> 9 Nov 2016 *Annual ECREA conference, Prague, Czech Republic.* On Sat, Dec 2, 2017 at 2:50 AM, <air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org> wrote:

2. Prevalence of Trolling Behavior (Hayes, Rebecca M) Message: 2 Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 14:42:06 +0000 From: "Hayes, Rebecca M" <hayes2r@cmich.edu> To: "air-l@listserv.aoir.org" <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Subject: [Air-L] Prevalence of Trolling Behavior Message-ID: <BN6PR05MB3394B2989D815B6C6915CAB8EA390@BN6PR05MB3394. namprd05.prod.outlook.com>

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
