Children in the second round of Disrupting Harm were also asked where they first met the
perpetrator(s), with the following response options: at school, on the internet, at home, in a
public place, at a place where you do sports and other.
Some analyses presented in this section are based only on data from nine countries in the second
round of Disrupting Harm. These analyses take advantage of additional information collected
during the second round, including whether the perpetrator was an adult (18 years or older) or
another child (under 18 years), and where the child first met the perpetrator.
