Description
Catholic clergy child sexual abuse networks have been acknowledged informally through media reports. Literature acknowledges that child sexual abuse by Catholic clergy involves a network of supervisors who transferred clergy perpetrators of child sexual abuse from parish to parish (Smith 2013; Carney 2012; Gavrielides 2013). This thesis extends on this by evidencing a dark network of clergy perpetrators operating in Victoria between 1939 and 2001. Social network analysis is used to create a network map and evidence that known Catholic clergy perpetrators in the state of Victoria, used network ties to share resources to facilitate child sexual abuse and effectively operate as an illicit dark network.
