Questionnaires were circulated to 1,599 family doctors, police surgeons, paediatricians, and child psychiatrists to determine the frequency and nature of child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom. At least three per 1,000 children are currently being recognized as sexually abused sometime during their childhood. The majority of cases reported involved actual or attempted intercourse, and 74% of the perpetrators were known to the child. Family disturbance was noted in 56% of the cases. The most common outcome (43%) was criminal prosecution of the perpetrator. Area Review Committees had no clear policy for the management of sexual abuse. Before it is possible to protect children and to develop therapeutic services for the family, it will be necessary to acknowledge that sexual abuse is part of the child abuse spectrum.
问卷被分发给1599名家庭医生、法医、儿科医生和儿童精神科医生，以确定英国儿童性虐待的频率和性质。目前，每1000名儿童中至少有3人在童年时期的某个时候被确认为遭受过性虐待。报告的大多数案件涉及实际的或企图的性交，74%的犯罪者为儿童认识的人。56%的案件中发现有家庭骚乱。最常见的结果（43%）是对犯罪者提起刑事诉讼。地区审查委员会对性虐待的管理没有明确的政策。在能够保护儿童并为家庭提供治疗服务之前，有必要认识到性虐待是虐待儿童范畴的一部分。
