How may sex offenders are affiliated with churches?

I'm looking for some statistics regarding the number of sex offenders who are priests, sunday school teachers, volunteers etc.. I know the percentage is very high, but does anyone know of any sites that have evidence of this or actual numbers from studies?How may sex offenders are affiliated with churches?Search hard for the statistics. I don't have a specific source to which I can refer you, but I remember that the figure for priests is less than 5%.

The number is lower among the religiously affiliated people you mentioned than among public school teachers and several other non-religious professions. We tend to hear about religious people who are sex offenders because it is so rare relative to the rest of the population, in addition to the fact that it is especially awful for a religious person to engage in such conduct.How may sex offenders are affiliated with churches?
Criminologists at Liverpool University in the UK did some studies on these aspects a few years ago. I'm not sure, though, that the results are online; at the time, I was working in the field on this so I was given the results directly, so I don't recall how they were finally released.



You might start research, though, with them?



And yes, the results were quite high because in the main paedophiles are 'organised offenders'.How may sex offenders are affiliated with churches?If you ever get that information, send it to me too.How may sex offenders are affiliated with churches?
