Abstract

[Academic discussions about sexual offending do not exist in a vacuum. What is framed and constructed in the discourse as ‘unusual’, ‘deviant’ or ‘criminal’ is dependent on a range of factors and processes which inevitably result in diverse and complex narratives about sexual behaviour around the world. As part of this wider context, the proliferation of the global sex trade has significant implications for how sexual offending is understood and regulated both domestically and transnationally. After all, tourist spaces are by design those in which the ‘rules’ of normal life do not apply. It is upon this premise that this chapter seeks to explore the growth and impact of ‘sex tourism’ in its various guises, and to evaluate the approaches that are in are in place to address it, with a particular emphasis on the issue of child sex tourism (CST).]
