This work is an important new edition of a classic study-one of the
few exhaustive examinations of childhood sexual abuse
available-with 40 percent new material. Even though it is as old as
human history, child sexual abuse has generally remained a dark and
well-hidden secret. Only in the last few decades has it become a
topic of open public debate and scientific research, and we still
have more questions than answers. How often are accusations of
sexual abuse legitimate, and how often are they the result of false
memories? Can sexual offenders be cured, or will they ultimately
re-offend? These are only a few of the difficult questions this
volume seeks to answer. Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Reference
Handbook explores the many ways we define child sexual abuse in the
United States and in different parts of the world and how those
differences are represented in U.S. and international laws. It
summarizes what we know about how to intervene, treat, and prevent
childhood sexual abuse effectively and tells the stories of
individuals who have had a dramatic effect on the handling of
childhood sexual abuse. For students, social workers, teachers,
policymakers, parents, and concerned citizens, this work offers a
one-stop, multifaceted discussion of one of the major issues facing
children and their families. A chronology of important events in
the history of child sexual abuse covers the various laws and how
they've changed over the centuries (from religious laws allowing
marriage to minor girls up through the latest laws relating to
Internet issues), notable abuse cases, the formation of major
anti-abuse organizations, and top scientific studies Excerpts from
relevant U.S. and international laws and conventions
