Tens of thousands of children are at risk of being groomed and coerced into crime by organised gangs, according to a leading child-protection expert.
Prof Alexis Jay, who revealed the extent of sexual exploitation in Rotherham, told BBC News there was an "urgent and preventable crisis".
She said there was no national plan to deal with criminal exploitation of children, calling for new legislation.
The Home Office said it was investing up to £5m, to support victims.
Prof Jay, who previously chaired the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, took evidence from 70 people and organisations as part of her review for the charity Action for Children.
And she found the same techniques adopted by "grooming gangs" to sexually abuse young people were being used to draw children into crime.
Vulnerable children from poor backgrounds, or lacking social confidence, were targeted, befriended and rewarded for working for crime gangs.
particular risk of exploitation, Prof Jay found.
Children were being recruited to deal and deliver drugs or weapons and grow cannabis.
They were also involved in street robberies, burglaries, bike and phone theft, begging and pickpocketing.
Prof Jay called for a national strategy and the introduction of a new offence of child criminal exploitation.
"There's no strategy at the moment," she said.
"It's uncoordinated, fragmented, piecemeal."

No kidding. Who would have ever thought this would be possible.
>> Ethnicity not mentioned. I’m curious.
I’m not. They’re satan followers. More commonly known as muslims.
Big sigh. I spent a week in England decades ago, it was safe then and the Brits were unvaryingly polite. I’ll always treasure my great memories of several countries I visited in those years.
Yes. in certain areas.
Just certain towns, etc. Still a ‘green and pleasant land’ in many parts don’t let them spoil it.
And No I don’t work for the tourist board
It’s about time someone started paying attention. It has been an ongoing issue for many years.
And I assume you’re looking for this:

It’s here also. Our size and the numbers of children are staggering. Sherrifs need to deputize good family men. Now.
1/3 of unaccompanied minors are missing. Okeefe Media Group released a video of a San Diego hotel where children are seen entering and leaving the hotel. The place is heavily guarded. The video shows the dead eyes of these young children. San D is a beautiful town filled with retired military. 8 thousand people watched the live stream of the horror house.
Where are the men? Even if they are not your children, the numbers of abuse logically mean when they turn off the border spigot, guess who’s next.
Even if the border remains open, your children, your neighbors and church families..
Sounds like very much very a global trend.
So sad and difficult to comprehend for most of us
