Similarities And Differences

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a serious problem not only in the community but also in institutional settings such as youth-serving organizations, churches, and schools. Although research has started to examine the problem of abuse in institutional settings, there remains a dearth of information about the nature and context of CSA in different employment settings, including those that do not specifically cater to children. In addition, research on the similarities and differences between perpetrators who work with children and other sex offenders is scarce. As such, the present study compared offenders on variables relating to financial/employment lifestyle stability, risk/dangerousness level, abuse opportunity, and victim selection. Data revealed that child abusers who worked with children tended to be better educated, were less likely to be married, had fewer nonsexual convictions, and were more likely to abuse male post-pubescent children compared with intra- and extra-familial offenders who did not work with children. Implications for future research, prevention of CSA, and clinical practice are discussed.

Meta Analyses

O suporte materno é fundamental para minimizar os efeitos traumáticos dos maus-tratos infantis. Objetivou-se com este estudo investigar como as mães se comportam frente à revelação do abuso sexual contra seus filhos. Com base nas diretrizes do guia Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses PRISMA, foram selecionados artigos publicados entre 1995 e 2015, nas bases de dados SciELO, BVS e ScienceDirect, usando os descritores “maternal support”, “disclosure”, “child sexual abuse” e “psychological assessment”, “suporte materno”, “denúncia”, “abuso sexual infantil”, “avaliação psicológica”. Identificaram-se 80 artigos, sendo 17 incluídos neste estudo. Diante da revelação do abuso: i) as mães oferecem apoio às filhas e necessitam de suporte para prestar auxílio; ii) o uso de álcool e drogas, as ideias suicidas e homicidas são fatores contribuintes para a falta de assistência das mães. O suporte materno em situação de abuso sexual está relacionado à rede de apoio psicossocial oferecido.

In recent years, the law in the area of recovered memories in child sexual abuse cases has developed rapidly. See J.K. Murray, “Repression, Memory & Suggestibility: A Call for Limitations on the Admissibility of Repressed Memory Testimony in Abuse Trials,” University of Colorado Law Review, 66 (1995): 477-522, at 479. Three cases have defined the scope of liability to third parties. The cases, decided within six months of each other, all involved lawsuits by third parties against therapists, based on treatment in which the patients recovered memories of sexual abuse. The New Hampshire Supreme Court, in Hungerford v. Jones, 722 A.2d 478 (N.H. 1998), allowed such a claim to survive, while the supreme courts in Iowa, in J.A.H. v. Wadle & Associates, 589 N.W.2d 256 (Iowa 1999), and California, in Eear v. Sills, 82 Cal. Rptr. 281 (1991), rejected lawsuits brought by nonpatients for professional liability.
