Misinformation leads to continued victimization, April 18, 2006
Reviewer: V. Vaughan-Eden - See all my reviews
Oftentimes, lay people as well as professionals respond to perceptions of child sexual abuse that have no basis in fact. The impact of sexual abuse does not always follow a straight and logical path. However, research in the field of child sexual abuse clearly indicates that it has long-term negative consequences for which its victims and their families are not prepared. Narrowly focused studies such as Rind, Tromovitch, and Bauserman only serve to misinform society and perpetuate the notion that sex with children is equivalent to sex with adults, further exacerbating the problem. This book presents evidence based on a broad review of the research literature that indicates sex with children is harmful to the victims and society.
