520			_aThis article examines the length of time taken in the investigation of child sexual abuse after referral to the Serious Abuse Team (SAT). The data for this study involved a retrospective review of 123 sexual abuse complainants under 17 years of age who were referred to the Wellington city SAT between January 1995 and December 1996. The results indicate a median duration of 47 days from the initial complaint through to the evidential interview stage. The time taken to investigate children under 5 years old was longer than the investigation for children aged 5 years and older. The results of the study also show that Maori were over-represented in the sample of child sexual abuse complainants, and females were more likely to be referred. Findings also highlight significant delays in the investigation of child sexual abuse in the Wellington city region.
