Sex tourists06 Jan 2006
Prosecuting British offenders in UK courts

The western world is finally recognising that responsibility for stamping out child sex tourism is not just a matter for the authorities where it is taking place, but also for those from where tourists originate.

Britain has already passed successive acts in 1997 and 2003, which enable UK courts to deal with British citizens who commit sex offences against children abroad. But so far the new laws have only been used against a couple of offenders. Woman’s Hour looks at the reasons why.
