The book uses a combination of archival and open-source material to trace the shifting approach to policing child sexual abuse (CSA) from the 1960s, when juvenile justice first became a central focus of policing in Queensland, to the 2010s, at which point Taskforce Argos made international headlines for its primary role in bringing major international CSA offenders like Shannon McCoole, Benjamin "Warhead" Faulkner and Richard Huckle to justice. Examining archival material to pinpoint the reasons that CSA was not dealt with effectively in the past, the book shows that often these reasons were political, unrelated to the policing of CSA at all. It stands as a testament to the victims of CSA who have been failed by the system in the past. In addition, the book acts as a case study of how a police force with such a negative track record in policing this area was able to correct its path and reform its practices, to the point that it could emerge as a world-leader in policing CSA. Though nominally focused on policing in one Australian state, the implications are global, with Taskforce Argos's work naturally impacting on the CSA investigations of all of its partner agencies, both in Australia and internationally"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Child sexual abuse $z Queensland $z Queensland $x History. 650 0 $a Police $z Queensland $z Queensland $x History. 650 0 $a Police corruption $z Queensland $z Queensland $x History. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z Queensland $z Queensland $x History. 650 7 $a Child sexual abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854640 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 650 7 $a Police corruption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068588 651 7 $a Queensland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204261 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bleakley, Paul, $t Policing child sexual abuse $d New York : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781032038988 $w (DLC) 2021014269 830 0 $a Routledge frontiers of criminal justice. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021022637.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D95A994EEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
