The central features of this workbook are two first-person fictional narratives that were written for a Massachusetts District Attorney's Office to provide to victims of child abuse so that they could understand the process of criminal justice they find themselves in.
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.
