Adults should be aware of their surroundings. Many rapes and assaults happen on college campuses. Many colleges offer campus escort services or shuttles during evening classes and late library hours. Use them, and avoid walking on campus alone after dark. In bars and at parties, do not drink from a beverage that has been left unattended, and do not drink from someone else's container. Do not attend a party alone, go with a group of friends, and do not allow yourself to be isolated with a stranger. Watch out for your friends on campus and in social situations, as well.
Most locales offer rape and assault counseling. There is also a national directory of counseling centers available at http://tools.rainn.org/counseling-centers/index.html, which offers a directory of rape counseling centers across the country. If you have been assaulted, do not wait to seek help or treatment. Victims can call the National Sexual Assault…...

Sexual Abuse-Does it exist in every culture?
Sexual abuse along with violence is an issue of serious concern that go beyond factors such as social, economical, racial and regional lines. The common victims of sexual abuse are females and youth, and the reason behind them being victim is that they are either lacking social or economical status to defend against or steer clear of it (Adams, 1998).

Females and youths, particularly, undergo sexual abuses in various forms, such as, sexual assault or rape, domestic violence, exploited sexually, and genital mutilation of women. Due to the less amount of research carried out, finding out the exact amount of sexual abuse prevalence in third world countries is hard (Crowder, 1995). Moreover there is also difficulty in assessing the reporting of sexual abuse due the cultural background. Throughout many years, sexual abuse has turn out to be a social issue which is "mediatized."

Fergusson, Horwood, and Lynsky (1997) also examined the extent to which exposure to CSA was associated with increased rates of sexual risk-taking behaviors among 520 young women (aged 18) in New Zealand. etrospective reports of CSA indicated that females who experienced sexual abuse (intercourse) were 4.4 times more likely to engage in sexual activity and be pregnant, 9.3 times more likely to have had five or more sexual partners, and 6.6 times more likely to have had sexual intercourse before age 16. The association remained significant even after controlling for other adverse childhood experiences. Further, Brown, Lourie, Zlotnick, and Cohn (2000) conducted a study of 208 adolescent patients who attended psychiatric day schools and residential programs, and found that more than half reported a history of sexual abuse (Addy et al. 2003)."

Child Sexual Abuse and Religious Settings Abstract
The sexual abuse of children is a sad reality in today’s world. It can happen in many different contexts, cultures, environments, and places. However, one area where child sexual abuse was least expected to be found was in religious settings. The recent abuse scandals that rocked the Catholic Church showed that child sexual abuse is a problem that needs to be addressed with respect to the very specific context of church environments, precisely because this is a setting that fundamentally requires trust from parents yet, because of the nature of the recent abuses, requires that parents also be on guard. How to navigate this issue is addressed in this present study.
Keywords: child sexual abuse, church abuse, child sex church
Child sexual abuse is a reality in today’s world that has to be addressed by responsible authorities (Murray, Nguyen & Cohen, 2014). What is important to understand,…...

Sexual Abuse Case Study
It is always difficult to effect a form of treatment to help individuals such as Max, who are suffering from inflicting sexual abuse crimes. Still, the best means of going about doing so would likely involve some form of psychotherapy or psychological counseling. Ideally Max should be able to seek such help while in a secluded environment in which he has minimal (if any) interaction with children and individuals who are minors in general. This form of therapy and counseling could ideally help Max to realize that such behavior is not acceptable and is in itself some form of perversion that, with willingness on his part, good psychiatric help, and the aid of prescription medication to help him regulate his moods and sexual proclivities, he can overcome.

I would supervise and manage Max within the community as one would any sort of typical sex offender -- which is…...

Sexual abuse [...] long- and short-term effect of child sexual abuse, future self-esteem issues, future drug abuse, effects on future relationships, and future repetitive behavior. The problem of child sexual abuse does not end when the abuse ends. The affects of sexual abuse on children are wide-ranging and often last a lifetime. This is only one reason that child sexual abuse must be curtailed. Children may be abused only once, but the effects of that abuse can color their outlook forever.
Child abuse may be much more prevalent than many people believe. One expert estimates as many as one-quarter of all children in America are sexually abused (Miltenberger and oberts 84). More sexual abuse has been reported in the last two decades, which accounts somewhat for this high figure, and there are many forms of abuse that are now considered sexual, including: touching or grabbing a child inappropriately, showing body…...

Child Sexual Abuse
According to the oxford advanced learners dictionary, child sexual abuse is the cruel treatment of a minor especially sexually. The case of an offender of child sexual abuse can be categorized into three clusters which comprise of sexual assault which occurs when an adult touches a minor in a manner so as to fulfill his or her sexual desires; the second cluster is sexual exploitation whereby the minor is victimized by the adult for profit, sexual fulfillment or advancement and lastly the third cluster is called sexual grooming which is a social conduct by the offender in which he or she tries to make the minor accept to the advances made.

Child sexual abuse is a topic that has attracted must attention in the current years. Studies estimate that up to 33% of women and at least 20% of men are victims of child sexual abuse (Misurell & Springer, 2013). Sexual abuses excluding touch are often not reported. This suggests that the number of individuals who could be sexually abused in their childhood may even be greater. As a high percentage of individuals may have experienced child sexual abuse, there are high chances that most people pursuing therapy could record histories with sexual abuse. Evidently, counselors must be familiar and aware of the long-term effects and symptoms associated with child sexual abuse. This will help them in attaining a deeper understanding of the prerequisites of counseling. This study defines child sexual abuse, reviews the impact of child sexual abuse, and explores the long-term effects whilst identifying the appropriate treatments.

Mary grew up defiant and rebellious. Her teachers called her difficult, stupid, and bad-tempered. Her schoolmates ridiculed her and she withdrew into herself. Taking therapy many years later, she would describe herself as being lonely, confused, angry, scared, and depressed.

Today, Mary shares her experiences publicly with many of the children from her community telling them to speak out when anyone -- even if it be a member of their family touches them in their private parts. Silence, she says, is supposed to be golden. t isn't always, she urges. Nor is abuse. When abuse happens, you should speak out. And she goes on to describe her experiences.

I found Mary's story particularly disturbing. Most of the other stories that I have heard about or read -- well, they have occurred to others and seem to happen in some safe place 'somewhere else'. Mary, however, is a respected trusted person in my community, and I know her well. I know members of her family and find it hard to believe that they would ever victimize vulnerable and innocent four-year-olds. but, then again, many of us are unwilling to accept the evils of the world. Mary's mother refused to believe her. And Mary felt betrayed as a result.

My own daughter is almost four years old. I would never want her to go through any one of the horrors that Mary endured. Watching or reading related media shows on the subject; I have often discussed them with others since I have a human interest stance in the subject. The media, at times, covers the subject well; at other times it fails -- depending, of course, on the reporter. The better the reporter, the more vivid and urgent the issue. And there can never be enough coverage of the subject.

One thing I have learned from the media is to use Megan's Law website (  This lists designated registered sex offenders in California. It has ethical questions of its own and certainly was I a repentant sex offender; I would no way want my name on there. But then I want my daughter protected. At all costs. I would never want her to become another Mary.http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/ ).

Child sexual abuse, CSA, is said to occur when children experience sexual contact with an adult or an older child through coercion or deceptive manipulation at an age and stage of development at which the child does not posses sufficient maturity to understand the nature of the acts and therefore is not able to provide informed consent. Physical force is often not necessary due to the fact that the perpetrator is likely someone with whom the child has a trusting relationship and who is in a position of authority over the child (Arcus 1998).

Introduction Sexual abuse and assault is a fundamental public health and social issue in the United States and across the globe. The longstanding adverse consequences more often than not linked with sexual abuse mandate that effective treatment and prevention programs be developed (Morrison et al., 2004). Imperatively, sexual abuse acts are in violation of the trust, safety and development that ought to be a natural part of the life of a child or adolescent. Its regularity and extensively harmful effect make it one of the most severe psychosocial issues with potentially pervasive longstanding costs and problems to persons, families and communities as a whole (Lesmana, Suryani, and Tiliopoulos, 2015). Childhood and adolescence sexual abuse can have long-term and overwhelming effects on individual and relational growth and development. Sexually abused children have a tendency to portray greater rates of poor school performance, belligerent behavior, posttraumatic stress disorder, or depressive symptoms, in addition…...

In conclusion, both juvenile sex offenders and victims of sexual abuse need to undergo treatment and counselling. The importance of treating victims of sex abuse is to ensure that the "cycle of abuse" ceases and that they can recover from their ordeal and lead normal lives. The treatment of juvenile sex offenders is to ensure their rehabilitation, depending on the problem and also separate them from the rest of society.

First and foremost, response in the event of sexual abuse allegations should truly be within the first 24 hours so as to intervene immediately where these allegations may be substantiated. This means conducting an immediate interview with the child, followed by an interview with a spouse of the accused where such may exist, followed by an interview with the accused.
Of crucial importance and distinction in cases where sexual abuse within the family has been alleged is the understanding that the state will not seek reconciliation but will seek the immediate and long-term removal of the child from the household. Inter-familial sexual abuse is rarely viewed from the perspective of Child Protective Services as being treatable insofar as mitigating the threat to the child.

Once this occurs, is when the author is discussing how there are differences in public perceptions and polices. As, most people will immediately assume that there are laws designed to protect society. Yet, in reality the underlying amounts of abuse continue to remain high with over 200 million cases reported each year. This is important; because it is showing how the author is highlighting the way abuse related cases are continuing to remain a lingering problem on a regular basis. (Lampinen, 2010)
The best practices are when Lampinen is carefully examining specific strategies that can be used to prevent violence targeted against children. For example, there is a discussion of how the receiver operating characteristics model can focus on key attributes. That will help to identify certain attributes, which could make the child a target of abuse. This is important, because these ideas are assisting everyone in understanding how they…...

The topic of violence is a broad one because violence is persuasive in our society, there are competing theories about the causes of violence, and violence begins to impact people at a very young age.  According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are eight types of violence children may be exposed to or experience: bullying, child maltreatment, community violence, domestic and intimate partner violence, school violence, sexual abuse and sexual violence, sex trafficking, and teen dating violence. These different types of violence not only impact children, but also adults in the community,....

One of the interests that I have is in helping victims of childhood sexual abuse.  I became interested in this area by accident.  As a middle-school child, I had a friend express suicidal ideations to me and relayed them to my parent.  The friend’s parents got them into a treatment program, but also removed them from our school.  Feeling as if I had betrayed their confidence, the friend ended communication with me.  It was years later, in an unrelated way, that I learned that there were several warning signs of childhood sexual abuse in their home.  When....

Teen pregnancy is a complex topic that can relate to a variety of other topics, making it possible to include body paragraphs that touch on everything from child sexual abuse to educational attainment by teen mothers.  That is because teen pregnancy does not generally exist in a vacuum, but is the result of a combination of varied social factors including race, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, educational level, and residency.

Some topics that you could include in a body paragraph in a teen pregnancy essay include:

Cults are certainly in the cultural zeitgeist these days, making them a perfect topic for a literature review.  In fact, while many people think of cults as a relic from the experimentation that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s, cults actually play a surprisingly large role in modern religion throughout the world.  What this means is that whether you are focusing on a specific cult, common traits of cult leaders, or what makes an individual susceptible to a cult’s influences, you are sure to find plenty of information out there.
