A. Allsebrook und A. Swift, 1989, Broken Promise, London: Hodder and Stoughton. ISBN: 0-340-50906-6 – The work of two
journalists. A good cross-cultural study of children in difficult circumstances, including in the West. Gives an excellent life history
of young prostitutes in New York, without using stereotypes or moral judgements. It also deals with First and Third World children equally
without any of the delinquent/victim dichotomy inherent in so much of the literature. Based on case
histories.
Abdelwahab Boudhiba, 1982, Exploitation of child labour: Final report of the Special Rapporteur of
the UN Sub Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, Geneva: United Nations.
Boudhiba's report was not only extremely influential in its day in drawing official attention to the issue of child labour, it was also
ahead of its time in giving priority to two particular groups of child
workers: child domestic servants (which he called 'maids of all
work') and child prostitutes. Although neither category has been given
the attention it deserves, his efforts to conceptualise both within the
overall framework of child work were pathbreaking.
K. Donovan, 1994, Hidden From View: an exploration of the little known world of young
male prostitutes in Great Britain and Europe with recommendations for an effective
interagency approach, West Midlands Police. – Deals with young male
prostitutes in England and other European countries. Takes a very small
sample group (less than 20) and bases the investigation on them. As
might be expected, the numbers coming out of care are high as is
tension with the police. In all the literature on male prostitution
there is a discussion on whether these boys are 'really' gay or just do
it for the money which is largely absent from works written about
female prostitution. Nobody questions if they are 'really' straight or not.
Good first section on the history of male prostitution and the recognition that it is not a new
phenomenon and has been institutionalised for centuries. Good too, on
the ways of recruiting boys into
prostitution - usually done through other boys and what happens to the
afterwards. Boys usually leave
prostitution by the time they are 23 and either settle into long term
relationships (occasionally with a
customer) or they turn to other kinds of criminal activity. The average
age boys enter prostitution is 14
years. The information on other European countries supports these
findings. Many prostitutes came
from an institutionalised background and started at 14 or 15 years of
age. In Holland where
prostitution is legal, the same rules apply to male and female
prostitutes. They must be over 18 but can
work in licensed brothels. Most leave prostitution after two years.

Effects and Suggested Remedies, Colombo, Sri Lanka, Terre Des
Hommes, in association with the Ministry of Planing & Information
1980.
This examines the well known 'causes' of child sex exploitation and its
consequences, but the analysis
needs to take into account aspects of racism and also the politics of
post-colonial countries, which are
seriously neglected aspect of research ,even in the case of Thailand
where sex tourism is far more well
organised and well documented. A useful read but the statistical
methods used are not satisfactory.
N.H.Graburn: Tourism and Prostitution, Annals of Tourism
Research, 10 (3) 1983.
One of the strongest anti-tourist texts, makes the relationship between
prostitution and tourism explicit.
Claims that the men of poorer countries are turned into pimps who have
to sell their country's beauty,
while the whole country is prostituted to tourists.
F. Lefort: 'Let street children take resposnibility', in
Children Worldwide (2), ICCB
Geneva 1992.
Lefort is a priest, doctor and Director of Caritas Mauritania,
publishing widely about child prostitution,
as well as producing many unpublished papers, written in a somewhat
heated style. He claims that
prostitution with foreign clients is on the rise in Mauritania: 'I have
treated 103 boys who were victims
of only 7 paedophiles, practically all foreigners'.
M. Correa, 1994 The construction of sexuality among adolescents:
a study of two different
groups in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Paper for XIII World
Congress of sociology, also
Published in Pfeffer & Behera (eds) 1996.
Although this is not concerned with child prostitution, it is
interesting for the insight it provides into
sexual attitudes among Brazilian urban teenagers. Focusing on 62
adolescents aged between 13 and 15
years, both male and female, their acquisition and development of the
language and normative rules of
sexuality. Well researched and interesting analysis.

Discusses the basis of attraction between men and children. Comments on
similarities between this
attraction and 'normal' male attraction: "A certain degree of
attraction to well developed thirteen and
fourteen year old girls is very common, if not endemic, in the male
population" (p. 18), referring to a
study of 77 paedophiles (contacted through the now defunct Paedophile
Information Exchange), which
asked men what physical traits they found attractive in a child. This
list included good looks, smooth
skin (hairlessness), smallness. Personality traits include innocence,
openness and curiosity.

Good, comprehensive book on child prostitution in the USA, especially
in San Francisco Is based on
first hand research in San Francisco but compiles data from many
different sources. Laws are clearly
discussed as are projects that aim to get children to give up the life.
Pays equal attention to male and
female prostitution but presents data on each group separately. Starts
with a history of child prostitution
and links it in to 'the runaway children' phenomenon of the 1960s. Then
goes on to give an ethnography
of three areas of San Francisco where underage prostitutes can be
found. Unusual in that it does not
just deal with street prostitution but other forms as well, including
upper class prostitution. Typically,
there is a section on whether or not rent boys are 'really' gay. The
importance of broken homes is
emphasised -- when children are neglected, they run away, often on a
whim which means they have
made few plans and have little money. Then if they do not return home,
prostitution becomes one of the
few options open to them. Concludes that the majority of young
prostitutes are white and that their
ages range from 12–18 years. Also notes a high correlation between
sexual abuse (most commonly
incest) and prostitution, but notes that sexual abuse is not always
consistently defined so this must be
interpreted with care. Discusses the health risks for children and
notes that STDs are not their only
health problem. They are also susceptible to colds, flu and
psychological disorders.
