![]() American political and legal culture is uncomfortable with children's sexuality. While aware that sexual expression is a necessary part of human development, law often sees children as either sexless, as sexual victims, or as sexual predators. The Symposium examines emerging issues of children as victims and perpetrators of crimes of a sexual nature, the disjunction between the criminal and juvenile justice systems' treatment of adolescent sexual offenders and the legal issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children who are in state custody, among others.
