Overview

The study on abusers outlines what is known about the extent and nature of sexual abuse of children, what action is being taken to tackle the problem and what treatment and supervision is available for abusers. It highlights the substantial new threat posed by the Internet and concludes that 'a massive rethink of policy is needed on how to tackle this very serious and growing problem'; The study on disabled children focuses on their vulnerability; the criminal justice system, including the continued failuer to prosecute those who have abused children; and the poor levels of information abd statistics about disabled children; The third study deals with the most vulnerable group of children - those in prison. It covers the extent to which children and young people are imprisoned and discusses their conditions and rights in prison. Despite recent attempts to improve the latter, it concludes, as did People Like Us, that 'prison is no place for children'.
