There has been considerable research and authorship on child sexual abuse, however, much of this research has focused on adult perpetrators and child victims. Less attention has been paid to children's harmful sexual behaviour and the multitude of influences. Harmful Sexual Behaviour in Young Children and Pre-Teens provides evidence-based understanding on: typical sexual development and display of sexual behaviour versus harmful sexual behaviour; the prevalence and problems associated with child harmful sexual behaviour; the aftermath and impact of problematic sexual behaviour on the child and others; Australian laws, policies and educator responsibilities; societal, school and educators' responses and support systems for children who display harmful sexual behaviour; the implications and challenges for future prevention. Focusing on Australia, it targets those involved in the wellbeing and education of children -- drawing on psychological, sociological, legal and educational perspectives to discuss current concerns and future practice. The authors present a review of psychological, sociological, legal and educational research to inform and support professionals involved in the wellbeing and education of children to understand, manage and reduce dysfunctional sexual development in children -- whilst maintaining their education at the forefront.
