The Crimes of Church and State against Children with Anne Manne

The sexual abuse of children and adolescents has been the subject of two groundbreaking recent investigations: Anne Manne's analysis of the abuse by a network of Anglican clergy in Newcastle, Crimes of the Cross, and Michael Salter's new research into the surprising frequency with which men report sexual feelings towards children and teenagers. The journalist, Russell Jackson, has also recently uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of children in the state school system in Victoria. How the community can protect children in the future, and support victim-survivors, remain urgent questions, as Katie Wright's new research on awareness raising seeks to address.
