Presentation:
Childlight Hub research: Insights from the Australian child sexual abuse perpetration prevalence survey, and building victim-centric law enforcement responses from investigation to prosecution and aftercare
This session provides an overview of the current research projects of the East Asia and Pacific Hub of Childlight, based at the University of New South Wales. After a brief introduction to Childlight, Prof Salter and Dr Whitten will present key research findings from the Australian child sexual abuse perpetration prevalence survey, including: factors associated with child sex offending amongst men who work with children, and opportunities for improved screening and detection of child sex offenders working with children. These findings are drawn from the largest, nationally representative child sexual abuse perpetration survey conducted to date.
Professor Paul Griffiths will present on the initial findings of a project examining minimum standards and capabilities in victim-centric investigations into tech-facilitated child sexual abuse. This includes the findings of a global survey of law enforcement and a literature review of barriers and facilitators to effective and victim-focused law enforcement responses to child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Professor Jon Rouse will present on the development of a pilot program for victim-centric responses to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse material following investigation and prosecution.
