dc.description.abstractThis is the first paper, as far as we are aware, to confront the critical issue of the overall costs of child sexual abuse in the UK. It is important to have an understanding about the costs of abuse for a number of reasons. Firstly, knowing the costs of CSA allow for better informed decisions about expenditure on its prevention and treatment, as well as raising awareness of its scale and impact. Secondly, it enables policy makers to put spending on child sexual abuse in the context of other costly public health issues such as obesity and smoking. Attempting to calculate the costs of CSA also highlight gaps in our knowledge where we can work on improving evidence in the future. Finally, this project provides a framework for estimating the costs of other forms of child abuse and neglect in the UK.en_US
