This dissertation provides an historical analysis of child sexual abuse and incest, and the response of the justice system to these issues. This essay traces changes in legislation in relation to incest, and examines deficiencies in the law and justice system introduced to address this form of abuse. The author examines the legal, economic, and social milieu in New Zealand during the late nineteenth century that legitimised men's authority over women and children, whilst maintaining gender power imbalances. Negative beliefs about women and children convoluted the reporting of incest, and meant the courts often favoured the male offender, even when confronted with compelling evidence. From the 1890s, The Society for the Protection of Woman and Children was instrumental in pushing for the criminalisation of incest, which was outlawed in 1900.
