Ontario College Of Teachers Cases Of Teacher Sexual Misconduct, Taryn Mototsune
Ontario College Of Teachers Cases Of Teacher Sexual Misconduct, Taryn Mototsune
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Teacher sexual misconduct in Ontario was examined by using cases reviewed by the Ontario College of Teachers between 2000 and 2013.

Community Attitudes And The Role Of The Victim Offender Relationship In Child Sexual Abuse Cases, Kirstin Leigh Bouse

This study examined the effects of 4 different victimoffender relationships and the degree of trust within these relationships on perceptions of offence seriousness and emotional and physical harm, for the offence of indecently dealing with a 14-year old girl. One hundred and sixty community members used a 7- point scale to rate the degree of trust within these relationships, the seriousness of the offence and the emotional and physical harm suffered by …
