ABSTRACT

Researchers and professionals tend to agree that there continues to be a paucity of evidence on who perpetrates organised child sexual exploitation (CSE). This article provides a review of currently available research and data pertaining to this form of offending. It also considers gaps in existing research and some of the challenges surrounding current data recording. Beginning with a discussion of terminology surrounding organised CSE - which has also been called “group localised grooming”, “internal trafficking” and “contact child sex abuse” – there then follows a request for greater clarity of terminology. Finally, the specific issue of offender characteristics is broached through an examination of available research and evidence relating to the perpetrators of organised CSE.

摘要

研究人员和专业人士倾向于同意，关于谁进行有组织的儿童性剥削（CSE）的证据仍然很少。本文提供了有关这种犯罪形式的当前可用研究和数据的综述。它还考虑了现有研究中的差距以及围绕当前数据记录的一些挑战。首先，围绕围绕有组织的CSE的术语进行讨论-也被称为“局部本地化修饰”，“内部贩运”和“接触儿童性虐待”，随后便要求对术语进行更清晰的说明。最后，通过检查现有的研究和与有组织的CSE犯罪者有关的证据来探讨罪犯特征的特定问题。
