Nelson and her co-authors have produced a lively, detailed and refreshing critique of current knowledge, services and debates and make a strong case for some radical and challenging new approaches to reducing CSA and CSE and its highly toxic effects for individual victims and survivors and for society as a whole. - NOTA (National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers) An exploration of the social, political and personal nature of sex crime that interrogates established practice and offers new ways forward. Malcolm Cowburn, Emeritus Professor of Applied Social Science, Sheffield Hallam University For anyone interested in tackling sexual abuse, this book fills a void, is an essential read and offers new theories and radical solutions which will stimulate debate towards positive change. Laurie Matthew, Manager and Founder of Eighteen And Under Sarah Nelson is one of our clearest thinkers about child sexual abuse - she brings scrupulous research, clear and committed politics, and wisdom accumulated over decades to one of the big issues of our time.
