dc.description.abstractIn Canada, sexual activity between adults and children is both illegal and socially unacceptable. However, it is clear that such activity occurs, and that when it occurs, it frequently continues over a period of time, undetected by others and unreported by the child (Badgley Report, 1984; MacMillan et al., 1997). This paper addresses two questions about the sexual exploitation of children: 1) How does it happen?; 2) How does it continue undetected? Criminal events theory is used to answer these questions, and to specifically focus attention on the use of routinization or normalization by offenders as a means to facilitate their sexual exploitation of children and keep it from being detected or reported.en_US
