Child Sexual Abuse: Moral Panic or State of Denial?: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Child Sexual Abuse: Moral Panic or State of Denial?" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Child sexual abuse is a major public policy challenge. Many child protection measures were beginning to reduce its occurrence. However, that progress was impeded by online grooming, the downloading of indecent images of children and even their abuse online in real time. This now places major demands on national and international policing. The book brings together groundbreaking case studies from a wide range of settings. As well as family members and those near the home, offenders can also be found in religious, sporting and childcare settings.

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.

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
Child sexual abuse is a major public policy challenge. Many child protection measures were beginning to reduce its occurrence. However, that progress was impeded by online grooming, the downloading of indecent images of children and even their abuse online in real time. This now places major demands on national and international policing. The book brings together groundbreaking case studies from a wide range of settings. As well as family members and those near the home, offenders can also be found in religious, sporting and childcare settings.
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.
David Pilgrim has spent his career divided between working as a clinical psychologist in the British NHS and researching mental health policy. Now semi-retired, he is Honorary Professor of Health and Social Policy at the University of Liverpool and Visiting Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Southampton, UK.
This book is a vital primer on the contemporary state of child sexual abuse. Pilgrim illuminates how the recent history of the normalisation 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, Australia, and 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 child sexual abuse. 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, UK

CONTENTS
The idea for the book came out of conversations with an old friend and NHS colleague, Pat Harvey, about the mental health impact of child sexual abuse on its victims and the range of forces in society that operate to suppress knowledge of that link. Further conversations with my friends Cas Schneider and Paul OReilly helped me clarify my thoughts on the connection between the clinical world and its wider social context.
Members of my family have tolerated my hobby horse about child sexual abuse in the past few years. They have also given me helpful feedback on aspects of its content and the rationale of the chapters. My special thanks go then to Anne Rogers, Nigel Rogers, Steve Pilgrim, Jack Pilgrim, Maria Andrews and John Raynor.
The chapter on Australia was helped by feedback from colleagues attending workshops on child sexual abuse I conducted in Sydney and Melbourne in 2016 for the Australian Psychological Society. I am also grateful to staff at the Sydney Jones Library, University of Liverpool, for facilitating my access to the restricted Fairbridge Society collection of documents on the forgotten children. I am particularly grateful to Michael Salter (Western Sydney University) for his helpful comments on a number of chapters. From Dublin, I have been helped by Niall Meehan and Marie Keenan to make a start on understanding the peculiarities of clerical abuse in Ireland and the generalities they might illuminate.
Some valued UK colleagues have included Andrew Kendrick, Sarah Nelson, Liz Davies, Helen Williams and Sarah Goode, whose personal support has been very useful, along with the insights of their own writings on our shared topic. I am particularly grateful to Sarah for her patience in reading the draft chapters at the end of the book, which turn to the obstacles within academia itself to exploring the grim reality of child sexual abuse, and what, if anything, we can do about it.
During the production of the book I tested the deep, and sometimes dark, water of academic opinion in social science by putting aspects of my ideas into journal submissions. That exercise was salutary. After a number of rejections, eventually I managed to get some papers into peer-reviewed journals about the serious shortcomings of a moral panic position. But en route to these successes I met a number of hostile anonymous reviewers, who were clearly outraged by my attack upon the sacred cow of social constructionism, that has in my view at times undermined social justice since the modish postmodern turn.
