Sexual Abuse of Children in Youth Serving Organizations: A Scoping Review Público

Abstract

This article examines the existing literature surrounding the organizational structures of youth serving organizations (YSOs) that have had cases of child sexual abuse (CSA).  The author searched three major databases and the search yielded 11 articles for inclusion. Included articles were qualitatively synthesized and three major themes were found across studies. Themes included how organizational culture, organizational policy/procedures, and organization-based prevention contribute to ongoing CSA in YSOs. The author discusses analysis of themes and then provides recommendations for the public health field. Recommendations include additional research on the topic of CSA in YSOs, evidence-based CSA prevention guidelines for YSOs, and mandatory CSA policy implementation.
