Exchange and abuse
Keyword(s):
This chapter outlines the different ways in which ‘CSE’ was understood to occur. It considers how grooming may not always feature and, when used definitively as a model, is inadequate for understanding how sexual exploitation occurs. Building on previous discussion, this chapter considers how for some young people exchanging sex can be a coping response to other difficulties, and a way of feeling as subject. In considering these different models for understanding CSE, the chapter argues that the element of exchange is fundamental to each, and suggests that exchange is what makes sexual exploitation particular and distinct from other forms of sexual abuse.
