Sexual abuse in religion

Sexual abuse in religion[electronic resource] /by Marta Trzebiatowska, Steve Bruce. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xi, 267 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1 Religion and Sexual Exploitation -- 2 Sex in Defamation -- 3 Satanic Ritual Abuse -- 4 Ethnic Enclaves: Muslims and Jews -- 5 Catholic Priests and Nuns -- 6 Protestant Pastors -- 7 Gurus -- 8 Religious Communities -- 9 Gender and Abuse -- 10 Does Religion Matter?.

This book examines the complex and troubling relationship between religion and sexual abuse through a sociological lens. Drawing on hundreds of examples spanning two centuries, it offers a comparative analysis of abuse in religious versus secular contexts and investigates systematic differences across various religions. From motives and opportunities to the organisational constraints that shield perpetrators, the study uncovers patterns that highlight gender as a central factor shaping the dynamics of abuse and the challenges in addressing it. The book explores two critical questions: does sexual exploitation within religious or spiritual contexts differ significantly from its secular counterpart? And do different religious traditions systematically foster or inhibit such misconduct? While predatory behaviour is not unique to religion, this study considers whether religious settings are particularly susceptible to abuse and whether the characteristics of such exploitation vary between faiths. Using case studies from major world religions, New Age spirituality, and predominantly Western contexts like the UK and USA, the book delves into how religious authority and cultural silences create environments ripe for exploitation. It also addresses false accusations, contextualising how religious rivalries often weaponise claims of sexual misconduct. This accessible yet rigorous study draws parallels with secular abuses and highlights the broader implications for institutions and communities. With its analytical depth and clear presentation, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of faith, power, and vulnerability in the context of sexual abuse. Marta Trzebiatowska taught Sociology at the University of Aberdeen between 2007-2024. Her work focuses on religion and secularism in the context of gender, sexuality, and national identity. She is a book author and has published a number of journal articles and book chapters on the intersection of religion, atheism, and gender. Steve Bruce taught at The Queen's University of Belfast from 1978 until 1991, when he was appointed to the chair of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen, UK. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2003 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2005. He has authored 30 books and over 200 journal articles and essays.
