this page should be linked the Catholic Sex Abuse because it is relevant. Her study came out during the media/lawsuit blitz on the church and her study puts the catholic numbers into perspective. i.e. 290,000 children molested by public school teachers in the 1990s vs. 12,000 in Catholicism over 70 years.

 * Yeah, right. Why is there so little ancillary evidence on the quality of this study and why has it been cited by the likes of Bill Donohue of the so-called "Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights" in the context of the current Catholic clergy pedophilia debate, to let Catholic clergy pedophiles off the hook? I suspect an NPOV may be in progress and will investigate further...

 * Yes, I thought as much. According to the very Washington Post article cited in the article, Shakeshaft's work was criticised for its poor research design and the elision of sexual harrassment of students (which is unjustifiable and is strongly opposed by teacher unions, let it be added) and child rape. Sexual harrassment is serious professional misconduct and should be strenuously opposed, but it is not child rape.

 * Allegations of abuse by priests, which were 1/2500 per year for the last 5 years (2014 CARA) the lowest among all professions did not discriminate between molestation, or rape or abuse. So according to you shakeshaft's data is exactly comparable.  Therefore the criticism is mute.  Teachers are the worst abusers of children and the teachers associations ought to clean up their act.  Rather, they try to discredit Shakeshaft and conceal the rape, sexual touching, molestation, child pornography, the grooming.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:3A80:925:2967:6D42:D260:E1F9 (talk) 00:19, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
