Description

Introduction Child sexual abuse (1) (CSA) is a significant social problem with far-reaching implications for child victims, their families and communities. In Australia each year approximately 3500 children are found to have been sexually abused after investigation by state and territory-based child protection authorities (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2010). Risk factors for CSA include: gender--girls are more likely to be sexually abused (Finkelhor, 1993; Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2010); age--the time of greatest vulnerability for child sexual abuse victimisation has been identified as between seven and 12 years of age (Finkelhor & Baron, 1986; Fleming, 1997; Nelson et al., 2002; Trickett, Horowitz, Reiffman & Putnam, 1997); disability--children with sensory impairments are at greater risk (Westcott & Jones, 1999); family characteristics--parental mental health problems, parental substance abuse, extended maternal absences, presence of non-paternal males in the home, domestic violence, social isolation and punitive parenting. These factors have been associated with increased risk in a variety of studies (see Putnam, 2003) and, in Australia, Indigenous status--Indigenous children are over-represented in investigated child sexual abuse matters (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2010; Northern Territory Government, 2007).
