Description
Considering in an unsensational way the subject of organized abuse, this text gives a model of how paedophiles achieve their ends and how to respond successfully. It considers the impact on children, families, staff and society, and ways to support them through and after the court process. It deals with abuse upon and within the Asian communities, and looks at what is known of prevalence and different types of abuse, dealing with the interface with pornography and HIV/AIDS.
