Summary: | Among the explanations posited for child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic clergy is the notion that abusers constitute a few “bad apples” in an otherwise healthy orchard. In writing Child Sexual Abuse and the Catholic Church: Gender, Power, and Organizational Culture, Marie Keenan defies such simplistic logic by introducing a complex, multilayered, and multidisciplinary analysis of just how and why clergy sexually offend. The book is a well researched and substantial contribution to a more holistic understanding of abuse, institutions, and the social construction of masculinities. |
