Review
"This book vastly exceeded our expectations as both a quality school law textbook and a legal reference book. It is one of the most complete school law texts available, covering the important legal issues of the day. It is an excellent resource for practicing school leaders to utilize in their efforts to develop, implement, and maintain risk management initiatives. The examples, vignettes, and cases are extremely helpful in assisting principals to accurately implement statutory law and case law in public school settings. It also has a unique design that can assist practicing school administrators deal with legal issues but not require the school administrator to become a lawyer." -- Dr. Thomas J. McCormack,Professor and Chair of the Counseling, Foundations, and Leadership Department

Suspense novel highlights serious danger students may face in school
Robert Shoop discusses teacher-to-student sexual abuse cases in one detective's efforts to track down a serial abuser in "Compulsion"
MANHATTAN, Kan. August 1, 2011 - - As a forensic expert, Robert Shoop has worked in more than 120 school-related sexual exploitation cases. His novel, "Compulsion" (ISBN 1461047560), follows a retired Special Victims Unit detective on a case that links back to his very own childhood.
Detective Adam Faulkner got involved with the Special Victims Unit after the abduction and murder of his childhood love, Julie Romano. Blaming himself for her death, he has spent years of his life tracking down child molesters everywhere. Adam leaves retirement behind when Sarah Abbott contacts him to help her find Tony Shepherd, a teacher who molested her in middle school. As they work to unravel the case, facts emerge that link Tony to Julie's death. Tony appears to still be teaching and Adam and Sarah must race to find him before another child becomes his victim.
At a local middle school in Tupico Flats, Tony is quickly becoming one of the most beloved teachers. He has perfected his act, moving from state to state every few years and changing his name along the way. Having a lovely wife and daughter, no one would ever suspect he is capable of something so awful. He attends every school function, charms his students' parents and volunteers for any responsibility that will give him better access to the children. Tony has his eyes set on 13-year-old Lizzie Sutton, unless Adam and Sarah can stop him first.
"I tried to give a realistic portrayal of this current problem in my novel," Shoop says. "We trust teachers to protect and nurture children, not sexually exploit them."
Shoop believes that his fictional portrayal of sexual abuse of students by teachers is accurate due to his years of experience on these cases. He hopes that his suspense novel will not only entertain readers, but shed light on a serious problem in the school systems today.
"Compulsion" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
