Child sexual abuse in Europe Price: $ 35.00
ISBN number: 92-871-5118-0 / 978-92-871-5118-6
Overview:
A significant minority of children in Europe, between 10% and 20% as an informed scientific estimate, will be sexually assaulted during their childhood. This problem has been recognised by child care professionals, policy makers and increasingly the public at large. Debates continue about what can be done: how best to intervene, build confidence in the child protection services (CPS), which responses work and what to do about the perpetrators.
Child sexual abuse can take many forms including incest, prostitution, pornography, date rape, peer sexual violence and institutional sexual abuse: the sexual abuse of children by people who provide or live in substitute, educational or social care. All forms of child sexual abuse are linked because they involve children in sexual activity but to use the term child sexual abuse to cover all forms of sexual violence can lead to confusion as these activities are different in many ways, each requiring their own context relevant solutions.
