Abstract:
This article examines the politics and ideology of Victorian child protection services during the Kennett years. The argument advanced is that the Kennett Liberal/National Party Coalition Government viewed child abuse in narrow, individualistic terms. In contrast to the previous Labor Government, which emphasized a philosophy of minimal intervention based on a partnership of family, community and the state, the Kennett philosophy was one of minimal support. The key emphasis was on the reporting of child abuse to statutory child protection authorities, and the treatment and punishment of individual offenders. Spending on broader structural prevention and support services which actually help the victims of abuse was not a priority.A number of examples of this neo-liberal agenda are given, including the poorly timed introduction of mandatory reporting and the associated diversion of resources from support services to investigation; the early cuts to accommodation and non-government support services; the inadequate response to demonstrated links between child abuse and poverty; the censorship of internal and external critics; and the appalling handling of the strike by child protection workers. Attention is focused primarily on the broader macro-political debates, rather than specific micro-service delivery issues.

Abstract:
The reproductive years are a critical period where women experience greater risk of intimate-partner violence (IPV). Most studies investigating the association between IPV and reproductive health have been completed in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to examine the relationship between IPV and women’s reproductive decision-making in Victoria, Australia. We analysed secondary data from a cluster-randomised trial of IPV screening that surveyed new mothers attending Maternal- and Child-Health centres in Melbourne. Survey measures included the experience of partner abuse in the past 12 months using the Composite Abuse Scale and four reproductive decision-making indicators. Results showed that IPV affects reproductive decision-making among postpartum women. Women who reported abuse were less likely to plan for a baby (adjusted Odds Ratio 0.48, 95% CI: 0.31–0.75) than were non-abused women, significantly more likely to have partners make decisions for them about contraception (Risk ratio (RR) 4.09, 95% CI: 1.31–12.75), and whether and when to have a baby (RR 12.35, 95% CI: 4.46–34.16), than they were to make decisions jointly. Pregnant and postpartum women need to be screened for partner violence that compromises women’s decision-making power regarding their reproductive rights.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between psychopathic features as measured with the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) and behavioural and emotional functioning in young female offenders in custody. Design/methodology/approach – This is a quantitative interview study investigating the relationship with psychopathic traits, measured with the PCL:YV (Forth et al., 2003), and different psychological characteristics as well as AD/HD, self-harm, and childhood trauma in adolescent offenders across genders. Data were collected from a sample of 40 female and 40 male adolescents who were incarcerated in Victoria, Australia. Findings – Results indicated that the behavioural subscales of the PCL:YV were associated with externalising behaviours possibly underpinned by histories of abuse and substantiated child protection incidences. The presence of AD/HD was strongly associated with affective deficits suggesting that the PCL:YV may be identifying young females with AD/HD rather than core psychopathic traits. Findings also indicate that female-specific manifestations of manipulation are likely being misidentified as behavioural phenomena precluding clinical recognition as a core interpersonal trait. Significant dissimilarities with a young male comparison group were identified and are discussed within. Research limitations/implications – The sample size is very small and the results should be seen as an indication rather than generalising. Originality/value – Studies on female juvenile offenders is rare and this study adds to the literature on the construct of psychopathy and its relationship to psychosocial factors as well as associations with AD/HD, self-harm, and childhood trauma, among incarcerated adolescents.

Currently, the major forms of child abuse are acknowledged as being physical abuse or non-accidental physical injury; sexual abuse and exploitation; emotional/psychological abuse and neglect. These forms of maltreatment often convey an implied message of non-accidental or committed harm against children. Abuse, however, can often occur by neglect or a failure to protect children, and therefore can be characterised as abuse by ommission. Many practitioners and professionals now use the term 'child abuse and neglect' rather than the single 'child abuse' term.

Abstract:
Empirical analysis has found that mandatory reporting legislation has positive effects on case identification of child sexual abuse both initially and over the long term. However, there is little analysis of the initial and ongoing impact on child protection systems of the rate of reports that are made if a reporting duty for child sexual abuse is introduced, especially when compared with rates of reports for other kinds of child maltreatment. This research analysed government administrative data at the unique child level over a seven-year period to examine trends in reports of child sexual abuse, compared with child physical abuse, in two Australian states having different socio-legal dimensions. Data mining generated descriptive statistics and rates per 100,000 children involved in reports per annum, and time trend sequences in the seven-year period. The first state, Western Australia, introduced the legislative reporting duty in the middle of the seven-year period, and only for sexual abuse. The second state, Victoria, had possessed mandatory reporting duties for both sexual and physical abuse for over a decade. Our analysis identified substantial intra-state increases in the reporting of child sexual abuse attributable to the introduction of a new legislative reporting duty, and heightened public awareness resulting from major social events. Victoria experienced nearly three times as many reports of physical abuse as Western Australia. The relative burden on the child protection system was most clearly different in Victoria, where reports of physical abuse were relatively stable and two and a half times higher than for sexual abuse. Rates of children in reports, even at their single year peak, indicate sustainable levels of reporting for child welfare agencies. Substantial proportions of reports were made by both legislatively mandated reporters, and non-mandated community members, suggesting that government agencies would benefit from engaging with communities and professions to enhance a desirable reporting practice.

Abstract:
The overall aim of this investigation was to determine whether DNA transfer can be used to identify perpetrators of physical child abuse. To this end two separate investigations were performed: First, 12 areas of the head/neck of 32 children aged 0-5 years of age were swabbed in order to determine the ‘normal’ background levels of DNA present. The results indicated that person-to-person variation accounted for the differences in DNA profiles retrieved, while little non-subject DNA was observed. The second part of the investigation was to determine if DNA is transferred during forceful contact, such as slaps and punches. This half of the study was divided into three phases: firstly 15 volunteers were asked to punch and slap a DNA free acetate sheet attached to a focus pad, 15 minutes after washing their hands. On a separate occasion they were asked to repeat the experiment but with an hour interval between hand washing and contact as well as with three punches/slaps rather than just one. Phase II was a preliminary test of person-to-person forceful contact involving two members of the Forensic Pathology Unit. Finally sixteen volunteers applied single punches/slaps to the upper arm of another volunteer. The results from all three phases indicated that DNA transfer does occur, onto DNA-free surfaces and between individuals, although the profiles retrieved varies between individuals. Slaps resulted in more transfer than punches, while no difference was observed between single and multiple (n = 3) contacts. Many of the volunteers exhibited non-subject alleles of unknown origin on their hands and arms which complicated interpretation. Overall both studies indicated that perpetrators of physical child abuse may be determined by the DNA they deposit during forceful contact although the person-to-person variation observed means further research is necessary in this field.

Abstract:
Increased understanding about the nature of child sexual abuse has led to the development of specialist facilities to improve the service provided to alleged victims and their families. The research reported here aims to investigate the effects on agency investigations in cases of suspected sexual abuse, following the opening of one such centre in Liverpool, the Rainbow Centre. Data were gathered on all alleged or suspected cases of child sexual abuse coming to the attention of the police, social services and paediatricians, in a twelve month period prior to the establishment of the Centre, and for a six month period following the opening of the Centre, in a cross-sequential design. One focus of the study was interagency communication. It was found that, in a substantial proportion of cases, professionals reported that other agencies 'had not been involved in the investigation, whilst data collection revealed that information had, in fact, been provided by more than one agency. Such results indicate a lack of communication and collaboration between the agencies.

Abstract:
This thesis has contributed to the international literature on child sexual abuse investigation and criminal justice processes by conducting a programme evaluation of these processes in Auckland, New Zealand. In the first part of the study, 51 child complainants and 124 primary carers were interviewed about their perceptions of social work investigation, evidential interviewing, access to counselling services, police investigation, medical examinations and, for some, criminal court proceedings. Although participants were predominantly satisfied with early interactions with professionals, both children and primary carers highlighted the need for better interagency collaboration, reduced time delays throughout the process, earlier access to support services, more information and increased involvement in decision making. With specific reference to criminal court, participants indicated a need for better pre-court education and debriefing. The second part of this research involved analyses of criminal court transcripts on the ways that children are questioned by evidential interviewers and lawyers in court. The transcript analyses showed that some cross-examination strategies are reliant on prejudicial stereotypes of children and false assumptions about the dynamics of sexual abuse. In combination, the interviews and transcript analyses, indicate that Judges could usefully ensure that children are asked questions in terms they understand. The thesis revealed deficiencies within agency practices and, to a lesser extent, agency policies which impact negatively on children and their families during the sexual abuse investigation and criminal justice processes. It was shown that in practice these processes do not fully comply with Article 3(1) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, in that the best interests of the child are not always 'of primary consideration'. Recommendations to address some of these deficiencies were proposed.

Abstract:
AbstractArticle 19 defines violence broadly to include all forms of harm, encompassing physical, mental and sexual violence as well as non-intentional forms of harm, such as neglect. As such, Article 19 articulates full respect for the human dignity and physical and personal integrity of children as rights-bearing individuals. This requires a paradigm shift of caregiving and protection away from the perception of children primarily as victims. Article 19 sets out a comprehensive prohibition on all forms of violence towards children and enjoins State Parties to take all form all measures available to enforce this right. This article summarizes the four main attributes of Article 19 as follows: (1) All violence towards children is prohibited, frequency or severity of harm need not be demonstrated and violence is defined broadly to encompass all forms of violence towards children, personal, social and institutional, including physical and emotional harm as well as neglect, maltreatment, sexual abuse, and abandonment; (2) the right protects children from harm from their parents and legal guardians as well as when they are in the care of proxy caregivers, including school officials, hospital staff, daycares, sports programs, as well as custodial settings and alternative care arrangements; (3) States are required to give effect to this right through all appropriate measures: legislative, administrative, social and educational; and finally the call for comprehensive measures to eradicate violence against children is reinforced by the final attribute (4) this attribute insists that the range of interventions required to give effect to Article 19 rights includes measures to ensure effective identification, reporting, investigation, and treatment of all forms of harm to children.

Abstract:
An infant less than 18 months of age with a skull fracture has a 1 in 3 chance of abuse [1]. While the parietal bone is most often the site of fracture, an abusive situation is difficult to diagnose based on characteristics of the fracture alone [2]. Age of the child is one important factor in determining abuse. Injury biomechanics are often used in the investigation of cases suspected to involve child abuse [3]. In addition to case-based investigations, computer modeling, and test dummies, animal model studies can aid in these investigations. While the relationship between animal studies and human pediatric patients is yet unclear, some animal models have emerged in the current literature. A study by Margulies and Thibault [4] made an attempt to correlate the mechanical behavior of human infant cranial bone to porcine infant cranial bone. The study suggests that weeks of pig age may correlate to months in the human. Yet, an 18 week old pig is considered to be in adolescence. The current study was conducted to determine the mechanical properties of parietal bone and coronal suture in porcine infants of a younger age than previous studies and correlate the bending properties of the bone to existing human data.

Abstract:
There is a 1 in 3 chance of abuse in a case where a child less than 18 months has a skull fracture [1]. The most commonly fractured site on the skull is the parietal bone, however it is currently difficult to establish the causation of injury based on the characteristics of the injury [2]. Thus, injury biomechanics are often utilized in the investigation of suspected child abuse cases [3]. Computer simulations, test dummies, and animal models are all used as aids in the assessment of skull fracture causation. For a given impact situation, a number of variables can control the pattern of skull fracture. A study by Baumer et. al assessed the effects of interface and age using an infant porcine skull model, specifically looking at the location of fracture initiation on the parietal bone [4]. This study showed that in low energy impacts fracture initiation occurs at the bone-suture boundary. Also, a deformable interface caused more fracture than a rigid interface for very young subjects. The current study was conducted to assess the effects of higher energy impacts on the patterns of fracture in this model.
