This extensive picture is drawn deliberately in order to highlight a split in the academic analysis of child sexual abuse. The mainstream or orthodox view, defended by the author, is that child sexual abuse is an under-reported crime. However, a minority view, presented but criticised, is that it is a moral panic created by public hysteria, child protection experts and campaigning politicians. By the end of the book, this division of academic opinion and its implications for public policy are explored in detail.
The book is essential reading for anyone interested in preventing child sexual abuse and the dilemmas of responding to both victims and perpetrators. It will be of particular use to practitioners in social work, the police and in the mental health professions.
Reviews / Votes
'This book is a vital primer on the contemporary state of child sexual abuse. Pilgrim illuminates how the recent history of the normalization and trivialisation of child sexual abuse underlies proliferating contemporary scandals. He is an uncompromising witness to the multiple dimensions of the sexual exploitation of children, and attendant cover-up efforts by perpetrators, allies and collusive bystanders. His book establishes that child sexual abuse is a practice that is parasitic on social denial, and only possible when authorities, academics and the community prefer to look the other way. This book is a must-read for students and scholars of child abuse, and for readers looking for a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between trauma and social denial.' - Dr Michael Salter, Senior Lecturer, Western Sydney University, Associate Editor of Child Abuse Review'Survivors of childhood sexual abuse and a wealth of research provide a knowledge base about the impact and extent of abuse in institutional and family settings. Pilgrim presents the facts alongside case examples enabling analysis of theories, investigations and media reports. The book provides a unique, immensely important and timely contribution to the theory and practice of CSA. Pilgrim introduces concepts of 'moral stupor' and 'webs of complicity' whereby non-offenders do not challenge offending behaviour. In this courageous, measured and accessible book, Pilgrim interrogates the multiple barriers to challenging child sexual abuse and effective collective responsibility for the protection of children.' - Dr Liz Davies, Reader in Child Protection (Emeritus), London Metropolitan University
