Children and Young People Who Sexually Abuse Others brings together leading professionals experienced in working with children and young people and their families in a range of settings. Reflecting the develop- ment, achievement and challenges of current practice, they present up-to-date models of policy and practice based on key research findings about incidence, prevalence and characteristics of young abusers. Emphasising the importance of multi-disciplinary working, the book addresses: • policy and service development in the light of recent legislation and establishment of youth offending teams; • assessment and treatment work with individuals, in groups and with families; • issues for young people in out of home settings; • a programme specifically for working with children under 10 years old; • female adolescent abusers; • evaluation of treatment outcomes; • the challenge of developing empowered and empowering practice in this area of work. With a practical approach clearly linking theory to practice, Children and Young People Who Sexually Abuse Others is an accessible and stimulating book which will be invaluable to all those who want to understandcurrent thinking and practice and will be of particular value to practitioners, managersandpolicymakersinvolvedinchildprotection, criminal and youth justice, psychiatry, psychology and counselling as well as to students in the fields of health and social care.
