The Centre for Strategy and Evaluation Services (CSES) conducted a systematic review of existing evidence about the prevalence and impact of online trolling for DCMS.

This review aimed to establish a working definition of trolling and to develop an understanding of the prevalence and impact of the activity. The REA also aimed to develop a profile of “typical” trolls and their victims.
