Making a unique contribution of placing the current sexual
exploitation of children and adolescents firmly in its historical
context, this book looks at the family's and society's roles in
child and adolescent sex abuse. Unlike most previous studies, this
study allows a range of responses from negative to positive and
avoids the methodological problems inherent in many other studies.
Most studies combine the age groups of children and adolescents,
whereas this study separates these different age groups and
compares the nature and outcome of sexual experiences of children
with those of adolescents. Utilizing sophisticated analytical
measures, the author's findings repudiate many commonly held
assumptions and serve to calm current hysteria regarding sexual
abuse of minors.
Written to disseminate findings that could be helpful in
realistically confronting the phenomenon of human sexuality, the
results presented in this book dispel many current myths about
early sexuality, including ethnic differences. The author wanted to
separate scientific inquiry from the perpetration of pervading
mores or social norms, and identify the real menaces to healthy
adult functioning.
