It is imperative that educators, parents, and potential victims
be aware of sexual predators, the danger they pose in our society,
and the resources available to help prevent this growing epidemic.
Written from a police perspective, Sexual Predators Amongst Us
examines the problem of sexual predation, how the Internet has
contributed to its growth, and how we can protect children and the
general public from these offenders.
The book begins by identifying traits and characteristics
associated with sexual predation and explaining how the predator
"grooms" his victims by gaining their trust. Chapters cover a range
of topics related to sexual predation, including child abuse,
incest, pedophilia in the clergy, sex trafficking, female sex
offenders, and child pornography. The author explains how the
Internet through social networking sites provides ample
opportunities for sexual predators to entice their victims. He
examines rehabilitation issues, describes legislation that has been
passed in response to various tragic cases, and discusses sex
offender registration.
Maintaining a user-friendly style, the book follows a consistent
format, with each chapter containing:
- Quotes from actual victims and predators
- Key words associated with the chapter material and their
definitions
- In My Opinion segments, where experts in the fields of health,
psychology, law, government, criminal justice, and academia voice
their honest and objective opinions regarding sexual predators
- Profiles of male and female sex offenders to help readers
identify common traits
The book concludes with recommendations to parents for keeping
children safe from online predators. Thought-provoking and direct,
it is suitable as a university text as well as a reference for
police academies, parents, and schools conducting awareness
training courses.
