Conducting interviews with witnesses and suspects is a core function of policing across the world. Child sexual abuse is broadly described as any sexual activity involving a child where consent is not or cannot be given. Child sexual abuse differs from other types of childhood victimization in that there is usually no witness apart from the victim and the accused and often no physical evidence. This chapter aims to summarize the components that play important role during the investigative interviewing of children. In addition to that, the role of the interviewers, interview aids, cognitive interview, risks of repeated interviewing of children, and effects of child sexual abuse on children will be outlined. This chapter will also give information about the child interviewing centers that are still being used actively in Turkey.

Child sexual abuse is a common phenomenon the world over. Due to poverty and other socio-economic challenges bedevilling the country, this social vice is fast escalating in Zimbabwe, taking its toll on defenceless and vulnerable members of society. The advent of HIV and AIDS has left many children without parents, thereby further exposing them to abuse from both strangers and close guardians. Using evidence from literature, this paper seeks to unpack the prevalence of this social vice situating the role of social workers in efforts to curb it. Utilising the socio-ecological framework as an analytic and intervention tool and model, the paper notes that the current approaches employed by social workers are remedial or curative rather than sustainable and proactive. It is from this understanding that a more sustainable approach is advocated.

- The author analyses some clinical cases in order to reflect upon the varying consequences of child sexual abuse on the development of abused males. Three distinct cases observed in clinical population are discussed. The typical victim's transformation into offender, the persistent tendency in victims to perpetuate the role of victim and the persistent tendency in the brothers' female victims to perpetuate the role of the spectator. The attachment system (provided both by the protective parent and by the abusing parent) plays a key role in the abused child's development related to the dimension of fear produced by the traumatic event.

This paper (Adams et al, Pediatrics. 1994;94:310-317) causes us great concern and if not challenged will be quoted by every advocate the world over to dismiss the validity of physical signs seen in association with child sexual abuse (CSA) at a time when experienced researchers are making sense of a difficult clinical area. The legal data on the cases is incomplete, and any possible correlation between the physical signs and the crime committed was irrelevant because of plea bargaining but also poor clinical date.

The role of social workers in safeguarding and child protection has received much critical attention in recent years, in an evolving political and social arena, where policy and practice has shifted following both public outcry of serious case reviews and subsequent policy and practice changes concerning the profession and how it services the needs of the most vulnerable in society. This article seeks to critically examine the current methodology for identifying suspected child sexual abuse signs and indicators, the evolving spectrum of abuse, including critical evaluation of current perspectives on child sexual exploitation.
