This volume presents results from a series of empirical studies conducted in the field of child protection in Ireland. These throw light of the epidemiology of child sexual abuse, and their familes, and important treatment-related issues. Nevertheless, the articles themselves go beyond the shores of Ireland to review research and clinical studies carried out in other parts of the world, especially Great Britain and North America.
In doing so, this book provides an exceptional compilation of research work conducted by Irish academics and clinicians. However, within the topic of child sexual abuse itself there have been different levels of acceptance and therefore progress made. First to be recognised was the sexual victimisation of children by strangers and acquaintances, then sexual abuse in the home by parents and relatives and lastly sexual abuse within child care institutions by those individuals entrusted with the protection of children in need.
