520 _aKey messages: ■Although female sex offending is a serious issue it makes up a very small percentage of all sex offences against children and adults: just under 5% of all offences. ■Half of all female sex offenders in the criminal justice system co-offended with a male perpetrator. ■Male coercion is an important avenue for women's offending. ■Victim/survivors of female-perpetrated sexual abuse do not usually disclose abuse. ■Female sexual offending can be difficult to conceptualise and theorise when most theories of sexual offending are based on male perpetrators.
