- Wksp: Child Sexual Abuse in the Organizational Context

Catalog description

Child sexual abuse in organizational settings--schools, churches, and other youth-serving settings--commands a substantial amount of public attention. This workshop uses a case-study approach to understand institutional failures which increase the risk of sexual abuse, and institutional prevention strategies which decrease the risk of sexual abuse. Focusing specifically on organizations, this workshop will analyze how systems-level responses must differ from individual-level interventions and the special role that organizational-level interventions play in the prevention of child sexual abuse.
