This article draws on a report prepared for the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (Palmer et al., 2016) to develop a more comprehensive analysis of the role that organizational culture plays in child sexual abuse in institutional contexts, where institutional contexts are taken to be formal organizations that include children among their members (referred to here as "youth-serving organizations"). We begin by integrating five strains of theory and research on organizational culture from organizational sociology and management theory into a unified framework for analysis. We then elaborate the main paths through which organizational culture can influence child sexual abuse in youth-serving organizations. We then use our unified analytic framework and our understanding of the main paths through which organizational culture can influence child sexual abuse in youth-serving organizations to analyze the role that organizational culture plays in the perpetration, detection, and response to child sexual abuse in youth-serving organizations. We selectively illustrate our analysis with case materials compiled by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and reports of child sexual abuse published in a variety of other sources. We conclude with a brief discussion of the policy implications of our analysis.
本文借鉴了为澳大利亚皇家委员会对机构应对儿童性虐待的调查（Palmer 等人，2016 年）编写的一份报告，以更全面地分析组织文化在机构环境中儿童性虐待所扮演的角色，其中机构环境被视为包括儿童在内的正式组织（这里称为“青年服务组织”）。我们首先将组织社会学和管理理论中关于组织文化的五种理论和研究纳入一个统一的分析框架。然后，我们详细阐述了组织文化可以影响青年服务组织中儿童性虐待的主要途径。然后，我们使用我们统一的分析框架和我们对组织文化可以影响青年服务组织中儿童性虐待的主要途径的理解来分析组织文化在青年服务组织中儿童性虐待的发生、检测和应对中所扮演的角色。我们通过皇家委员会对机构回应儿童性虐待的调查和其他各种来源发布的儿童性虐待报告中汇编的案例材料来选择性地说明我们的分析。最后，我们简要讨论了我们分析的政策含义。
