Abstract
Despite increasing awareness of child
sexual exploitation (CSE) across the UK in
recent years, there remain gaps in current
knowledge and understanding – including
in relation to young people who perpetrate
acts of CSE. In contrast to the wider research
base for harmful sexual behaviour (HSB)
in childhood and adolescence, which has
developed significantly in recent years,
there is little in the literature specifically on
the topic of young people who engage in
sexually exploitative behaviours.
This report describes one of three research
projects commissioned by the Centre of
expertise on child sexual abuse to build an
evidence base about perpetrators of CSE.
