This book re-introduces a feminist analysis of child sexual assault. It will be invaluable to new social work, social care practitioners as well as senior practitioners, encouraging them to revisit valuable insights into the sexual violation of children. The introductory chapter provides an overview of historical developments whilst following chapters offer critical analyses of interrelated topics. It concludes with a proposal of a new model for social work intervention.
