Media reports of the sexual abuse of youth athletes by their
coaches have raised questions about how athletic organisations
protect against such abuse. Research shows that the power dynamic
between coaches and athletes aiming for high performance makes
those athletes uniquely vulnerable to abuse. Although states are
primarily responsible for addressing abuse, federal laws may apply,
such as those that prohibit sex discrimination, including sexual
abuse, in federally-funded education programs, require reports of
campus crimes, and set minimum standards for state child abuse
reporting laws. This book examines the role of federal agencies in
preventing and responding to sexual abuse of youth athletes; and
steps selected athletic programs aimed at high performance take to
prevent and respond to such abuse.
