Though most schools are safe environments for students,
research shows that sexual abuse of children at all levels
is on the rise. Recent media attention has captured the
publics growing concern about the number of cases involving
boys molested by adult females. Nationally recognized risk
management expert and author Robert J. Shoop has been quoted
in USA Today (November 30, 2005), noting that "In the past
18 months, at least 25 cases nationwide involved female
teachers molesting students." He has also addressed the
topic of sexual exploitation as a guest on CNN, The Today
Show, ABC's 20/20, ESPN's Outside the Lines, and other
independent television talk shows. In this book, Shoop identifies the early warning signs of
sexual abuse in schools. Based on interviews, newspaper
reports, journal articles, court records, and personal
experiences gained from 25 years of consulting with school
districts in the areas of harassment, abuse, risk management
and negligence, this book demonstrates the critical need to
implement strategies so students are protected while also
learning how to protect themselves. Shoops two-fold objectives are: * How to spot sexual exploitation and what early warning
signs to look for
* How to stop sexual exploitationactions that schools
and parents can take to prevent sexual abuse, and how to
respond promptly and appropriately if it occurs Sexual Exploitation in Schools prepares educators to manage
one of the most difficult and troubling issues in our public
and private schools. Explanations are provided concerning
the legal context, consequences and pathology of sexual
exploitation, district and employee rights, conducting an
investigation, and steps educators and parents can take so
that students will be safe in their learning environment,
leading to a successful and healthy future.
