The book examines the generally disappointing treatment of this issue in popular media, and goes on to discuss the institutions that contribute to the cover-ups, including two - rabbinic courts and local Orthodox patrols - that are more or less unique to Orthodox Jewish communities. Specific examples illustrate the devastating effect these institutions can have on sex abuse victims. Finally, the book explores the cultural factors behind the problem, and offers suggestions for reforms.
