Questions
 
How long have you been involved in the study of sexual abuse?

Why is this an important area of study?

Is this politically a difficult area of research?

How do you find the subjects for your studies?

What do the findings from your studies indicate?

Do you undertake any studies involving religious abuse?

Is it difficult to find research data on religious abuse?

What are some of the most likely effects and issues someone who has been
the victim of religious or sexual abuse is likely to encounter in their
life?

We hope to compile a database of offenders and to be able to track the
parishes they were located at and the times they were there.
Do you believe that this information should be made available by each
religion in an easily searched and publicly accessible database?

Do you think it would be reasonable to expect that the religious groups
who have had or still have offenders within their ranks have an
obligation to assist in both the provision of this data?
Do you feel that religious groups are doing enough in the areas of
identifying abusers and in supporting victims?

Are you familiar with the articles contained in the "U. S. Bishops'
Charter For Protection Of Children And Young People" (
/index.php?id=25 )?

Can you shed any light on why there is such a huge discrepancy between
this charter and what actually occurs for victims of abuse by catholic
clergy here in Australia?
