But even with the widespread knowledge  of identifiable behavior in its victims and abusers, society's  response to child sexual abuse is failing profoundly. \u003cbr\u003e  Rebecca Bolen's authoritative book, \u003cem\u003eChild Sexual Abuse: Its Scope  and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eOur Failure\u003c\/em\u003e, clearly defines the scope of child sexual  abuse and addresses society's ability to respond to the problem. It is  her thesis that society's response to child sexual abuse is failing  because the policies, programs, and statutes designed to assess and  identify abuse are grounded in historical and myth-bound theoretical  child sexual abuse literature rather than in the empirical knowledge  base.
