Currently, primary prevention efforts for child sexual abuse (CSA) are mostly done as general education program for children at school. The program is criticized for placing responsibility of child protection solely on the children and rarely involves family, community, and children’s surrounding neighborhood. This study aimed to examine CSA psychoeducational prevention toward kindergarteners parents’ knowledge after an intervention in form of psychoeducational leaflets and booklets. The study was quasi-experimental study with the one group pretest-posttest design. Twenty six parents of kindergarteners participated in the study. Istruments used for the study was CSA knowledge test. Quantitative analysis was used to describe the difference of kindergarteners parents’ knowledge before and after the program (p=0.006, p<0.05). Psychoeducation with booklet and leaflet was able to improve kindergarteners parents’ knowledge on CSA prevention.

The purpose of this study was to rigorously test the effectiveness of Safe@Home, an in-home parent skill-based intervention implemented in Clark County, Nevada. Safe@Home is designed to prevent out-of-home placement for children at imminent risk of placement (Placement Prevention population) and minimize time in out-of-home care for children already in foster care (Reunification population). This paper presents a retrospective, longitudinal, quasi-experimental study that examined placement and permanency outcomes of Safe@Home. Using Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), children who received Safe@Home were matched to a historical comparison group of children served before Safe@Home was available in their community. All children in the study were determined by Clark County Department of Family Services to be unsafe and in need of immediate intervention. Children were matched based on age, race/ethnicity, previous in-home or out-of-home child welfare case, and safety threats Matched study samples demonstrated strong baseline equivalence. Children who received Safe@Home experienced a significantly lower rate of out-of-home placements, substantially higher rate of permanency with a parent, fewer days in out-of-home care, and shorter time to case closure. There was no effect of Safe@Home on post-permanency outcomes of maltreatment after case closure and re-entry. Large favorable placement prevention effects were sustained for 12 months after the end of Safe@Home.

This article conducts a critical analysis of the Incredible Years parenting programme through the lens of post-colonial and post-structural theories. Drawing from Foucault’s concept of ‘governmentality’ and ‘discursive normalisation’, the author questions the norms and definitions constructed by the implementation of Incredible Years in New Zealand, and attempts to disrupt taken-for-granted values and assumptions in modern parenting. The analysis of this study shows that the discourses in Incredible Years (re)produce colonising values and assumptions, reinforcing the privileged knowledge of the West in parenting. The author points out how this approach to parenting constructs those who do not fit into the norm as ‘the Other’ and normalises/reinforces conformity to the dominant culture in this context.
