This study critically reviews the literature on child sexual abuse by female offenders to determine whether it is uncommon or whether the low reporting rate reflects a reluctance to recognise it, with a concomitant failure to effectively work with both victims and perpetrators. The literature highlights the need for increased professional awareness of and response to this phenomenon. Research from the US and the UK is used.
