,Assault of Children and Adolescents, Conspiracy of Silence, and Sexually Victimized
Children.

reports of victims and CSA; this work along with testimonies on television shows
created an explosion of awareness and activity.

welfare dependence.

higher risk for sexual abuse.

What factors help determine whether a child is likely to be exposed to sexually abusive
behavior? - Answer-Studies have indicated that family issues such as lower SES or
educational attainment, poor parent-child communication, female children, and ethnic
minority status were associated with CSA; in addition, adolescents are often exposed to
a wider range of sexually abusive behavior.

The __________ of sexual abuse of a child is the most important or at least one of the
most important aspects of the field. - Answer-Disclosure
♣ Without a disclosure, it is difficult to protect the child, and the situations or individuals
who put the child at risk are unlikely to be identified.
♣ Numerous research has showed that children are often not forthcoming in disclosing
abuse.
♣ In an analysis, it is revealed that 60-80 percent of children and adolescents do not
disclose until adulthood.

What is a common argument of the word 'disclose' in terms of CSA? - Answer-It is
unclear if it implies to a simple act of telling someone or the official act of reporting to
the authorities.

What are the different forms of disclosure? - Answer-• Active - child purposefully makes
the decision to tell
• No Disclosure - there was no abuse, they are in a pre-disclosure phase, or they are
not telling for various other reasons.
• Tentative/Ambiguous Disclosure - reluctance or denial, and use various coping
strategies to actively avoid or be vague about the abuse
• Recanting/Retracting Disclosure - internal and external pressures to be silent about
