The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse (JCSA) is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, advocates, policy makers, and practitioners.

Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research studies, intervention programs, trauma, legal and forensic issues, prevention programs, case studies, assessment, and brief reports, focusing on various subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest; adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest; adolescent or adult sexual assault or harassment victims/survivors; and sexual abuse, incest, and sexual assault offenders. Research, treatment approaches and techniques, prevention, intervention, and other programs concerning any of these groups are general categories of the published articles, case studies, and brief reports. The articles emphasize applying research, treatment, and interventions across the lifespan to practical situations so the importance and implications of the results will be clear.
