Book Synopsis Judicial Decision Making in Child Sexual Abuse Cases by : Margaret M. Wright
Download or read book Judicial Decision Making in Child Sexual Abuse Cases written by Margaret M. Wright and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, Canada witnessed a public outcry over child sexual abuse cases. Elected officials sought a remedy through legal reforms. Amendments were made to the Criminal Code of Canada and sexual assault was redefined. The word "rape" was replaced with a continuum of categories intended to reflect the full range of sexually intrusive behaviours. Margaret Wright examines how the courts have dealt with child sexual abuse cases since then. She demonstrates that although the laws may have changed, their interpretation still depends on the social construction of children and on judges' own understanding of what constitutes child sexual abuse.
Book Synopsis Magistrates' Decision-Making in Child Protection Cases by : Rosemary Sheehan
Download or read book Magistrates' Decision-Making in Child Protection Cases written by Rosemary Sheehan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. Making decisions about the care and protection of children who appear before the courts is complex. Attention must be paid to the best interests of the child, the child’s need for their family, community views on parenting, and concern about welfare intrusion into family life. Magistrates have a unique authority to make, or reject child protection orders - yet the criteria they use to decide a protection order, how they understand the information presented to them in court and the factors that influence their discretion and decision-making have, until now, been little known. Presenting the findings of a study undertaken at Melbourne Children’s Court, this book offers a much-needed investigation of how magistrates actually make child protection decisions. Case examples highlight this decision-making and the book thus offers practical assistance to professionals working with children in the legal process.

Book Synopsis Beliefs and Expectancies in Legal Decision Making by : Bradley D. McAuliff
Download or read book Beliefs and Expectancies in Legal Decision Making written by Bradley D. McAuliff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beliefs and expectancies influence our everyday thoughts, feelings, and actions. These attributes make a closer examination of beliefs and expectancies worthwhile in any context, but particularly so within the high-stakes arena of the legal system. Whether the decision maker is a police officer assessing the truthfulness of an alibi, a juror evaluating the accuracy of an eyewitness identification, an attorney arguing a case involving a juvenile offender, or a judge deciding whether to terminate parental rights—these decisions matter and without doubt are influenced by beliefs and expectancies. This volume is comprised of research on beliefs and expectancies regarding alibis, children’s behaviour while testifying, eyewitness testimony, confessions, sexual assault victims, judges’ decisions in child protection cases, and attorneys’ beliefs about jurors’ perceptions of juvenile offender culpability. Areas for future research are identified, and readers are encouraged to discover new ways that beliefs and expectancies operate in the legal system. This book was originally published as a special issue of Psychology, Crime & Law.

Download or read book On Trial written by Billie Wright Dziech and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1989 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first to examine the experience of child victims their families who attempt to seek justice in America's courts, offers practical reforms that would bring greater sensitivity justice to the legal process. Reviewing American legal history the equivocal treatment of children sex crimes, Dziech Schudson explain how current courtroom procedures often fail to acknowledge a child's abilities needs, how child witnesses are often re-victimized by the legal system that is supposed to help them. They argue that there is no justification for subjecting abused children to a second round of trauma -- in court. This important book recommends sweeping changes to assure justice for children, their families, those accused of harming them.
Book Synopsis Legal Decision-making in Child Sexual Abuse Investigations by : Jacquelynn F. Duron
Download or read book Legal Decision-making in Child Sexual Abuse Investigations written by Jacquelynn F. Duron and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed-method, multiphase study explored factors associated with child sexual abuse cases that are accepted for prosecution. Prosecution of child sexual abuse is the most consequential approach communities have for addressing perpetrators, yet as many as 72% of perpetrators evade prosecution despite evidence of the crime (Cross, Walsh, Simone, & Jones, 2003). In order to explore the decision to prosecute, quantitative and qualitative data were sequentially integrated across three phases of study. This research incorporated prosecutor perceptions surrounding influential factors to analyze 100 child sexual abuse case records and forensic interviews for children who provided a disclosure through a Children’s Advocacy Center. This exploration concluded with prosecutor reviews of 10 prosecuted cases. Analytic methods included logistic regression modeling to determine predictive factors associated with a decision to prosecute and framework analysis to further confirm and expand upon the factors found to influence prosecution. Findings across all phases of study indicate that prosecution is most strongly predicted by caregiver support, the availability of other evidence, and family engagement in services. Additionally, emergent themes indicate that the decision to prosecute requires an ongoing evaluation of the evidence and a balanced approach. These findings present opportunities for multidisciplinary teams of professionals to provide assistance to families who are likely to interface with legal proceedings. Findings support prosecution of sexual abuse when appropriate as one component in a system wide approach to child sexual abuse prevention.

Book Synopsis Child Welfare Professionals and Incest Families by : Ingrid K Thompson-Cooper
Download or read book Child Welfare Professionals and Incest Families written by Ingrid K Thompson-Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. Little research has been done on the nature of decision-making by child welfare professionals in child abuse cases, or on the impact of the different approaches on victims and their families. This text compares a system which relies heavily on criminal prosecution to handle child abuse cases (England) with a system that is more treatment orientated and depends primarily on child welfare and clinical services (Canada). The study examines the extent and nature of the incestuous abuse, how it was disclosed and the initial reponse from the professionals. It then looks at how the cases are processed through child welfare and criminal justice systems with attention paid to the decisions made throughout. The nature of the social service contacts with the family are also examined as are the type and length of treatment. It attempts to determine what factors influence the legal and clinical decisions that are made by various professionals throughout the whole process.
