American political and legal culture is uncomfortable with
children's sexuality. While aware that sexual expression is a
necessary part of human development, law rarely contemplates the
complex ways in which it interacts with children and sexuality.
Just as the law circumscribes children to a narrow range of
roles-either as entirely sexless beings or victims or objects of
harmful adult sexual conduct-so too does society tend to discount
the notion of children as agents in the domain of sex and
sexuality. Where a small body of rights related to sex has been
carved out, the central question has been the degree to which
children resemble adults, not necessarily whether minors themselves
possess distinct and recognized rights related to sex, sexual
expression, and sexuality. Children, Sexuality, and the Law
reflects on some of the unique challenges that accompany children
in the broader context of sex, exploring from diverse perspectives
the ways in which children emerge in sexually related dimensions of
law and contemporary life. It explores a broad range of issues,
from the psychology of children as sexual beings to the legal
treatment of adolescent consent. This work also explores whether
and when children have a right to expression as understood within
the First Amendment. The first volume of its kind, Children,
Sexuality, and the Law goes beyond the traditional discourse of
children as victims of adult sexual deviance by highlighting
children as agents and rights holders in the realm of sex,
sexuality, and sexual orientation.
