“These victims are some of the most difficult you’re Going to Work With”
Law enforcement’s response to the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) has evolved over the past decade; however, both survivors and service providers report that law enforcement is often perceived as untrustworthy and unhelpful in CSEC cases. The specific challenges law enforcement face in CSEC cases and their impact on community safety and justice goals remain unclear. This study explores these challenges from the perspectives of l…
“I would say almost every single case has some sort of an internet connection”
The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is a growing and increasingly recognized form of abuse. With much of children’s social activity shifting to the internet, technology is becoming a critical factor in the dynamics of CSEC crimes. This study explores the understanding of technology use in relation to CSEC crimes from the perspectives of law enforcement and service providers.

Emotional burden and self-care strategies among individuals in the sex trade during Covid-19 in Israel
Research on the sex trade during COVID-19 has documented the intertwined material and emotional hardships faced by individuals in the sex trade. Building on these insights, this article examines how self-care practices functioned as relational and strategic responses to crisis. Drawing on twenty semi-structured interviews conducted in Israel between May and December 2020, findings highlight two intersecting themes: the emotional burden caused by …
It’s probably an addiction—It can't be anything else”
we identified two main contradictory themes regarding the role of the addict identity in the self-narratives of the participants: one presenting the addict identity as contributing to the participants' positive self-perception and the second as challenging it. Within a social context that often portrays MPWS as perpetrators and abusers, the addiction discourse was a useful source in helping the participants negotiate the dilemma of how to engage …

Twenty-three Israeli MPWS participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews, which were then analyzed using constructivist grounded theory method. Using the theoretical fram…

What promotes engagement in formal and informal help relationships? Perspectives of commercially sexually exploited youth
Help-Seeking and Help-Related Experiences of Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth
This interpretive qualitative meta-synthesis (QMS) aims to systematically review what we know about the help-seeking and help-related experiences of commercially sexually exploited youth (CSEY). A comprehensive search of the relevant databases was conducted to identify published qualitative peer-reviewed papers and research reports about the experiences and perceptions of CSEY. A corpus of 34 qualitative studies was compiled and synthesized, usin…
Constructing Identity Through Sex-Consumption
This study examined how consumerism shapes the identity construction processes of Israeli men who pay women for sex (MPWS). Using the theoretical framework of symbolic interaction and the theoretical concept of extended self , we explored how Israeli MPWS extend their selves through sex-consumption. To this end, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 23 Israeli MPWS. An interpretive epistemology and a constructivist grounded theory…
The Question of Moral Worth in a Controversial Market
This study examined the internal moral debate that takes place among Israeli men who pay for sex (MWPS) while traveling abroad. We explored how they construct their sense of moral worth and present themselves as moral subjects in light of the intensified stigmatization of their actions. Using the theoretical frameworks of pragmatic morality and boundary work , we conceptualize four main moral justification regimes that MWPS use to construct thems…
Online Interview Shocks
The use of online camera-based interviews (OCBI) in qualitative studies is increasing. While recent studies have addressed the benefits and limitations of this method, scholarship still lacks an understanding of it beyond the technicalities. The present study explores how the online setting shapes power relations in qualitative OCBI. The data includes 52 OCBI that were conducted in two different qualitative studies. By applying the concept of int…

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 Israeli MPWS. Participants were recruited through an STD community clinic, an anonymous online survey, ads posted in online forums for MPWS, and an organization for the abolition of prostitution. The findings offer a complex …
