Child sexual abuse is a major public policy challenge. Many child
protection measures were beginning to reduce its occurrence.
However, that progress was impeded by online grooming, the
downloading of indecent images of children and even their abuse
online in real time. This now places major demands on national and
international policing. The book brings together groundbreaking
case studies from a wide range of settings. As well as family
members and those near the home, offenders can also be found in
religious, sporting and childcare settings. This extensive picture
is drawn deliberately in order to highlight a split in the academic
analysis of child sexual abuse. The mainstream or orthodox view,
defended by the author, is that child sexual abuse is an
under-reported crime. However, a minority view, presented but
criticised, is that it is a moral panic created by public hysteria,
child protection experts and campaigning politicians. By the end of
the book, this division of academic opinion and its implications
for public policy are explored in detail. The book is essential
reading for anyone interested in preventing child sexual abuse and
the dilemmas of responding to both victims and perpetrators. It
will be of particular use to practitioners in social work, the
police and in the mental health professions.
