Book Description:
|
This book is the first to analyse, and attempt to explain the methods by which cases of child sexual abuse have been systematically concealed in Orthodox Jewish communities. The book examines the generally disappointing treatment of this issue in popular media, and goes on to discuss the institutions that contribute to the cover-ups. The book also explores the cultural factors behind the problem, and offers suggestions for reforms.
