This is a Rapid Evidence Assessment prepared at IICSA’s request. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors alone.
Due to the nature of the research report, the authors have worked with the predominant ideas on child sexual abuse and use the language in which those ideas were commonly expressed over the period from the 1940s to 2017. The use of language that encapsulates these ideas and meanings should not be read as an endorsement of any of the identified discourses.
