Summary "This updated version of the papers delivered to the International Society for the Treatment of Sex Offenders in 2002 is a guide for lawmakers, sexologists, psychologists, and lawyers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to adolescent sexuality and the criminal law. This resource carefully examines the ramifications of child sexual abuse laws that fail to distinguish between children and adolescents. It includes discussions of the history of the age of consent, adolescent sexuality, relations between adolescents and adults, and adolescent prostitution and pornography that will leave you better informed about the sexual rights of adolescents and the criminal politics of youth protection."--Jacket
