Child Abuse, Gender and Society

Focusing on the often-overlooked issue of female perpetrators in child sexual abuse, this book challenges traditional views by placing women's offending behavior within a broader social context. It incorporates case studies and insights from professionals, addressing the complexities of protecting children and the denial mechanisms employed by female offenders. The text critically explores concepts of harm, child rights, and professional practices, while also examining the limitations and potential of a feminist perspective on this sensitive topic.
