Parental opinions of their child's experience in the Legal Process : an interpretative analysis
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2014Co-Authors: Christina Back, Per A. Gustafsson, Carina BerteröAbstract:The aim of this study is to demonstrate how parents of children who are victims of sexual assault experience the Legal Process from the children’s and parents’ perspective. Nine parents, identified in the records of three public prosecution offices in three cities in Sweden, were interviewed. The parents described feelings of shame and guilt over what their children had experienced. They felt stigmatized and had difficulty fulfilling their parental role, perceived a lack of information and support from the professionals involved, and experienced a sense of withdrawal from their role as parents, though they felt the professionals who worked with their children were helpful and influential.

Sexually abused children - prosecutors' experiences of their participation in the Legal Process in Sweden
Psychiatry Psychology and Law, 2013Co-Authors: Christina Back, Per A. Gustafsson, Carina BerteröAbstract:The purpose of the present study was to interview prosecutors, based on their experiences working with children who have been sexually abused. The informants were seven prosecutors identified from the records of three public prosecution offices in three cities in Sweden. The informants' experiences were elicited via individual in-depth semi-structured interviews. The interviews were carried out and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Three themes emerged: (1) difficulties with evidence of criminal conduct, (2) children's special needs, and (3) children's dependence on adults. Informants' descriptions of how they perceived the children in the Legal Process were associated with their experience of the difficulty of finding proof of the crime. Informants were found to experience difficulties when they encounter children in the Legal Process. As prosecutors they often face difficulties proving that the child has been exposed to crime.

child sexual abuse medical statement conclusions in criminal Legal Process
Forensic Science International, 2014Co-Authors: Minna Jokierkkila, Jenni Niemi, Noora EllonenAbstract:Abstract Objectives To evaluate medical statement conclusions in the criminal-Legal Process in suspected cases of child sexual abuse (CSA). Study design An observational study of a random sample of 130 medically examined, police reported CSA suspected cases during 2001–2009. Medical statements were evaluated and their conclusions were analyzed with an end-point in the Legal Process. The data consists of official investigation documents from the University Hospital records, the Police, crime laboratories, the State Prosecutor, and the Courts of Law. Results The median age of the children was 5.3 years (range 11 months–17.3 years) at the time of the suspected sexual abuse. In most cases (76.2%, 99/130) medical statement conclusions neither supported nor excluded the suspicion of CSA. Twenty-one (16.2%) medical statements supported and in 10 cases (7.7%) the conclusion did not support the suspected CSA. Of the suspected CSA cases a hundred (76.9%) proceeded to the Prosecutor. The charge filing rate was 41.5% (54/130). The final conviction rate was 30.8% (40/130) and 74% in the charged cases. Medical statements were mentioned as evidence in the Prosecutor's decision to file charges in 18 (33.3%) of suspected CSA cases and in 15 (36%) of verdicts. A child's clear disclosure of CSA ( p p =0.037) had a significant role in decision making on convictions. Conclusion In medical statement conclusions, physical findings with proper documentation and interpretation are needed to avoid misunderstandings in the Legal Process. The present study supports a routine medical statement peer review to minimize the risk of neglect caused by lack of knowledge among authorities working with sexually abused children.
