Produktbeschreibung

This book documents the enduring involvement of children in the commercial sex trade in twentieth-century England. The authors argue that child prostitution needs to be understood within a broader context of child abuse, and provide evidence that indicates the circumstances which have led young people into prostitution over the last hundred years amount, at worst, to physical or psychological abuse or neglect, and at best as the result of limited choice.
