My research will focus on children are who not identified as being historically abused however were living in a home where police suspect CSAM was viewed by a parent. Through an epidemiological criminology lens, I aim to explore how the potential risk of future interfamilial sexual abuse is managed throughout childhood. I will achieve this by being the first to quantify the number of children affected; use mixed methods surveys with police, social services and non-offending parents to understand current safeguarding processes; and undertake qualitative phenomenological interviews with family court appointed social workers about cases where CSAM is a cited vulnerability.
