What is Making Sense of Child Sexual Exploitation : Exchange, Abuse and Young People about?

This important book puts forward the rarely heard voices of children and young people who have experienced child sexual exploitation (CSE) and the professionals who have worked with them. CSE is now high on the social care agenda, but what is child sexual exploitation? How is it different from other forms of child sexual abuse? Hallett takes a critical perspective and argues that we need to use the exchange model - lost in the current focus on grooming - to answer these questions. She considers the problems that arise with conflating ‘child sexual exploitation’ with ‘grooming’ and the implications for the ways in which we respond to CSE and for the individual children and young people caught up in it. Central to the discussion are themes such as youth, childhood, care and power, making for an important sociological contribution to this under-researched field, whilst also providing new and valuable practice and policy relevant insights into this issue. The book challenges the dominant way of thinking about CSE and is essential reading for those working or training to work with children and young people.
