本文反映了方法论和道德问题，形成了一个合作项目，旨在绘制社会，法律的和政治的反应，在英格兰和威尔士的儿童性虐待在整个二十世纪。在历史档案中寻找儿童性虐待的词源问题进行了讨论，因为这个词本身是一个相对较新的。它承认研究工具总是不全面的，然后重点关注档案中的空白和沉默，最有问题的是受害者和幸存者自己的声音和经历。最后，它讨论了与在撰写研究结果时对被告和被定罪者（以及受害者和幸存者）进行命名或匿名有关的道德问题。讨论的重点是两个关键时期-20世纪20年代和50年代-和教育政策，包括监管程序的教师在国家和收费学校。
This article reflects on methodological and ethical issues that have shaped a collaborative project which aims to chart social, legal and political responses to child sexual abuse in England and Wales across the twentieth century. The etymological problem of searching for child sexual abuse in the historical archive is discussed, given that the term itself is a relatively recent one. Acknowledging that research tools will always be partial, it then focuses on the gaps and silences in the archive, most problematically in relation to the voices and experiences of victims and survivors themselves. Finally it discusses ethical issues relating to the naming or anonymising of those accused and convicted (as well as victims and survivors) in the writing up of research findings. The discussion focuses on two key periods – the 1920s and 1950s – and on education policy, including regulatory procedures for teachers in state and fee-paying schools.
