Addressing contemporary questions about the definitions and prevention of child sexual exploitation (CSE), this book looks at how, where and why disclosure and recognition of this form of abuse takes place. It brings together a range of perspectives and theoretical frameworks to help us understand CSE and also probes into modes of detection and prevention.
