This book presents an assessment of research exploring the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, with discussion of the practical and policy implications of the findings. It is aimed at researchers and practitioners including medical and legal professionals. The book begins with a review of the literature and reflections on the challenges of carrying out such research, then explores factors determining whether, when and how childhood sexual abuse is disclosed with particular examination of the effect of interview techniques. The book includes a discussion of the implications of disclosure for those involved: child, family, peers and the alleged perpetrator. The book brings together a collection of work from international experts. Chapter 14 discusses forensic interviewing in New Zealand written by Karen Wilson from the Department of Child, Youth and Family. Wilson outlines the forensic interviewing infrastructure in New Zealand and provides statistical data on interviews relating to physical and sexual abuse from 2000 to 2002. Wilson discusses the issues with disclosure and non-disclosure, and the use of diagnostic and evidential videotaped interview format. Wilson concludes that overall the data indicates that the evidential and diagnostic interviewing process appears to help facilitate disclosure for children; however there is some evidence that post-interview processes are inadequate with only 40% of children having been referred on for individual counselling. Wilson suggests continued research into facilitating disclosure has the potential to reduce the false negative outcomes that may be occurring with high risk children in the current child protection system.
