This report, entitled “Basically… porn is everywhere,” was commissioned by the office of the Children’s Commissioner for England. The work was led by Middlesex University and was a collaboration of four universities. The guiding questions for the enquiry were:
1. Identify and assess the existing evidence base on children and young people’s access and exposure to pornography.
2. Identify and assess the existing evidence base on the effects that access and exposure to pornography have on children and young people’s sexual expectations, attitudes and behaviours.
3. Draw upon existing literature reviews and meta-analyses on the associations between access and exposure to sexualised or violent visual imagery on children and young people, and consider whether this bears relevance to the issue in question.
