Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet
difficult. They can be hard to access, often presenting challenging
behaviour. Sometimes it is painful to hear their life stories,
whether these include abuse through the Internet or exploitation
experienced through having been trafficked into and within the
country. Jenny J. Pearce draws on young people's voices to explore
the difficulties that arise for researchers and for practitioners
when working with sexually exploited young people. While child
protection interventions must guide social work, she argues that
other agencies such as health, education, housing and training each
have a role to play in supporting a sexually exploited young
person. Challenging the uncritical acceptance of the child as
victim, the book suggests 'therapeutic outreach' as an approach to
working with sexually exploited young people that can complement
child protection procedures, support practitioners in the field and
enhance the young person's sense of autonomy and responsibility
during their transition to adulthood. The book advocates the
relationship between practitioners and the young people they aim to
support to be one of the most important resources in practice.
Young People and Sexual Exploitation will be essential reading for
anyone interested in preventing the sexual exploitation of children
and young people. It will be particularly relevant for academics,
students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of social
policy and social work, child and family work, child protection and
youth work.
