How common are women paedophiles?

Research into women who abuse is sparse, and invariably, paedophiles are thought of as men. Jane looks at the issue of women paedophiles, and asks why they do it; Are there key differences between male and female sexual offending? Why has society historically failed to acknowledge women as abusers? How big a problem is it, and how can offenders be managed in a community?
