Abstract

Most people get information about child sexual abuse from media coverage, social movements, or conversations with family and friends. Confronting Child Sexual Abuse describes how these forces shape our views of victims and offenders, while also providing an in-depth look at prevention efforts and current research. Sociologist Anne Nurse has synthesized studies spanning the fields of psychology, sociology, communications, criminology, and political science to produce this nuanced, accessible, and up-to-date account. Topics include the prevalence of abuse, the impact of abuse on victims and families, offender characteristics, abuse in institutions, and the efficacy of treatments. Written for people who care for kids, for students considering careers in criminal justice or human services, and for anyone seeking information about this devastating issue, Nurse’s book offers new public policy ideas as well as practical suggestions on how to engage in prevention work. Interactive links to studies, videos, and podcasts connect readers to further resources.

Abstract

Sexual assault and sexual harassment have a variety of consequences harmful to those who are targeted, including psychological and physical health effects. In addition, sexual assault and harassment may have deleterious and costly consequences for employers if the abuse results in higher turnover or low morale and productivity. This report describes data analyses designed to assess the effects of sexual assault and sexual harassment on service members' decisions to separate from the military. The researchers found that exposure to sexual assault (as determined by survey responses) doubled the odds that a member would separate from the military in the ensuing 28 months. Over this period, an estimated 2,000 more separations occurred than would be expected had members not been sexually assaulted, and 8,000 separations (or roughly 4 percent of all separations) were similarly associated with sexual harassment. Secondary analyses demonstrated that separations associated with sexual assault and harassment were disproportionately voluntary — that is, the service members were not discharged for problem behaviors or other failures to adhere to standards or expectations in the military. These findings suggest that sexual assault and harassment are costly for both the affected service members and the services and that they harm military readiness. The report concludes with recommendations for how the Department of Defense could use this study's findings to reduce sexual assault, sexual harassment, and the separations associated with these experiences. Data for these analyses are drawn from the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, which invited close to 560,000 U.S. service members to share their experiences.

Abstract

De hulpverlening in onze samenleving wordt geconfronteerd met cultuurspecifieke problemen, waar niet altijd een pasklaar antwoord voorhanden is. Vaak ontbreekt het hulpverleners aan voldoende achtergrondkennis om adequaat op de behoeften van de hulpzoekenden te kunnen inspelen, of om problemen tijdig te kunnen signaleren. 'Vrouwen onder druk' handelt over seksuele en reproductieve rechten van kwetsbare groepen in onze samenleving: vrouwen en migranten.De auteurs willen bijdragen tot dit inzicht aan de hand van concrete gevallen uit de praktijk. In een eenvoudige taal licht het boek het thema seksuele en reproductieve gezondheid toe aan de hand van enkele hete hangijzers in onze huidige multiculturele samenleving: vrouwelijke genitale verminking, eergerelateerd geweld, maagdenvliesherstellingen, en zo meer. Het focust heel specifiek op de toestand in België en Nederland, en wil een handvat aanreiken om de bestaande hulpverlening voor deze kwetsbare groepen in onze samenleving te ondersteunen. Onderzoekers die al jaren op deze themata werken, geven aan de hand van enkele demonstratieve casussen uit de dagelijkse praktijk, hun visie over een specifiek onderwerp
