"For understandable reasons, the issue of child molestation elicits intense emotions -- emotions that often prevent families from protecting their children. Gene Abel's and Nora Harlow's book helps families overcome those emotions. Their insistence that the solution to this critical public health problem be guided by objective data, compassion, and ongoing research is to be commended." --Inside Cover. Fred S.
