This book brings together experts primarily from the fields of
criminology, criminal justice, law, and social work, but also
cultural anthropology and psychology, to analyze clergy sexual
abuse from the perspective of their individual disciplines.
Contributors examine the latest data and analyses on the scope and
impact of clergy sexual abuse, frame the problem in terms of
sociological and criminological theories of crime and deviance,
explore the social and legal issues the problem raises for the
personal and communal life of faith communities, and discuss
possibilities for reform, reconciliation, and healing. Covering
sexual abuse of both minors and adults, chapters not only focus on
the Catholic Church, but also examine Christian faith traditions
more generally. The editors' introductory chapter identifies points
of agreement and divergence among the essays, develops a coherent
overview of the problem, and presents viable solutions to it.
