ABSTRACT There is virtually no literature on child sexual abuse committed by “powerful perpetrators”, who, use position, reputation, wealth and/or power, to become influential members of their organisation. Seventeen cases relating to youth serving organisations were identified using a comprehensive search of databases covering case reviews from England, Australia and the US. A Quantitative Content Analysis was used to analyse the sample with a focus on identifying offenders’ “modus operandi”. Findings revealed a number of critical differences between powerful perpetrators and other child sexual offenders described in the literature. Findings are discussed in relation to their implications for creating safer youth serving organisations. In particular, focusing on educating YSOs to recognise and address risks posed by powerful perpetrators; expanding organisational safety policies and practices and taking steps to develop a strong, positive organisational safety culture are commended as key approaches.

隐藏在众目sight之下的强大肇事者：对组织性儿童性虐待案件的国际分析

摘要几乎没有文献记载“有能力的作案者”利用职务，名誉，财富和/或权力成为其组织中有影响力的成员所犯下的儿童性虐待行为。通过全面搜索涵盖英格兰，澳大利亚和美国案例审查的数据库，确定了与青年服务组织有关的17个案例。定量内容分析被用来分析样本，重点是确定罪犯的“作案手法”。调查结果表明，有力的犯罪者与文献中描述的其他儿童性犯罪者之间存在许多重大差异。讨论了有关发现对创建更安全的青年服务组织的影响。尤其要着重于对YSO进行教育，以认识并应对强大的犯罪者所构成的风险；
