Child sexual abuse is attracting much public concern and attention in many parts of the world. In recent years, it has taken on a novel form involving abusers masquerading as tourists and travelling to countries where children may be particularly vulnerable. Men from Europe, the US, and Japan now visit Third World and Eastern European countries in order to engage in the sexual abuse of young children. This book examines a new departure in international cooperation to suppress this practice whereby a number of countries--including the US, many European nations, Japan and Thailand--have passed legislation making possible the arrest and trial of their citizens for these offences even when carried out beyond their borders.

This book was very interesting as it details the difference between days of yore and todays interterritorial law where a person can be tried for an offense occuring in another country.
