For decades, and in some cases centuries, individuals, families,
and friends of victims sought out ways to help heal the hurts
caused by sexual abuse and implement some way to protect against
future harms. The recent very public conversations about victims
standing up to perpetrators has expanded the reach and public
platform of sexual violence prevention efforts in critical ways.
What might appear a relatively simple task on the surface, to
define “healthy” and “harmful” sexual practices, inevitably
raises even more questions. When the questions and answers are
framed and defined through historical, cultural, social, and
individual lenses, solutions may seldom be simple. Structured in
five parts, Sex Crimes and Offenders: Exploring Questions of
Character and Culture uses healthy sexuality as a back drop for
exploring the complicated issue of identifying and punishing sex
crimes, defining the parameters of sexualized violence, and sexual
violence prevention. The goal is to prevent harm, address hurts,
hold perpetrators accountable, and eventually eliminate – to the
degree possible—all future harms. The information presented
explores individual treatment efforts, as well as the social and
political responses designed to hold perpetrators accountable and
help support victims. Essential resources made visible throughout
this text are provided to help inform young people, families, faith
communities and future practitioners, to raise important reflective
questions, and to serve as a resource for anyone of any age who has
suffered harm, or perpetrated harm, and is in need of support and
healing. Finally, the book concludes by shining a light on the
efforts each of us can take to identify, reduce, and work toward
eliminating sexual violence and harms.
