Children's Sexuality and Nudity in Discourse and Images in a Danish Education and Care Journal over 50 Years (1970-2019): The Emergence of "The Child Perpetrator of Sexual Abuse" in an International Perspective.

In the late twentieth century, a new view of children as potential sexual abusers emerged. Today, more research addresses children's "problematic sexual behavior" than their natural sexuality, and even young children are stigmatized and criminalized because of species-typical sexual behavior. Despite the importance of this new field of research and view of childhood sexuality, studies of this development, its origins, and consequences are extremely rare.

Although these were quite accepted at Danish childcare institutions until the beginning of this century, the study showed that new, pervasive regulations had been established to control the child's body and its sexuality.
