abstract="There is virtually no literature on child sexual abuse committed by &quot;powerful perpetrators&quot;, who, use position, reputation, wealth and/or power, to become influential members of their organisation. Seventeen cases relating to youth serving organisations were identified using a comprehensive search of databases covering case reviews from England, Australia and the US. A Quantitative Content Analysis was used to analyse the sample with a focus on identifying offenders' &quot;modus operandi&quot;. <br><br>FINDINGS revealed a number of critical differences between powerful perpetrators and other child sexual offenders described in the literature. <br><br>FINDINGS are discussed in relation to their implications for creating safer youth serving organisations. In particular, focusing on educating YSOs to recognise and address risks posed by powerful perpetrators; expanding organisational safety policies and practices and taking steps to develop a strong, positive organisational safety culture are commended as key approaches.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
