Description: "Understanding sexuality in our society is difficult. Understanding the sexual abuse of children is even more difficult. This book presents a wealth of information-a history of sexual abuse, actual statistics, first person accounts from victims, legal issues, as well as theological reflections-all condensed into a concise handbook on what many will readily concede is a 'moral emergency.' More than merely informative, this book is practical. It includes concrete suggestions for ways that religious and other communities can make a real difference-by helping to prevent child abuse."--Back cover.
