The issue of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is firmly in the
public spotlight internationally and in the UK, but just how well
is it understood? To date, many CSE-related services have been
developed in reaction to high profile cases rather than being
designed more strategically. This much-needed book breaks new
ground by considering how psychosocial, feminist and
geo-environmental theories, amongst others, can improve practice
understanding and interventions. Edited by one of the leading
scholars in the field, this is an essential text for students and
those planning strategic interventions and practice activities in
social, youth and therapeutic work with young people, as it
supports understanding of how CSE arises and how to challenge the
nature of the abuse.
