Finkelhor, David; Ormrod, Richard; Turner, Heather; Hamby, Sherry – Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2012
Considerable efforts have been made during the last generation to encourage children and their families to report victimization to authorities. Nonetheless, concern persists that most childhood victimization remains hidden. The 2008 inventory of childhood victimization--the National Study of Children's Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV)--allowed an…

Chilton, Mariana; Rabinowich, Jenny – Journal of Applied Research on Children, 2012
The causes and contexts of food insecurity among children in the U.S. are poorly understood because the prevalence of food insecurity at the "child" level is low compared to the prevalence of "household" food insecurity. In addition, caregivers may be reluctant to admit their children may not be getting enough food due to shame…

Loftus, Elizabeth F.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Discusses findings from L.M. Williams study (1994). Findings do not provide cogent support for claim that childhood sexual trauma is routinely banished from conscious awareness and then can be reliably recovered later. Findings do support claim that many children can forget about a sexually abusive experience from their past. (BF)

Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on the Judiciary. – 1977

Williams, Linda Meyer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Forgetting can take place even when the abuse occurred when the child was older, had experienced dramatic events surrounding the abuse, or had suffered repeated molestation. It is argued here that research suggests that memory of child sexual abuse may be influenced by more than the "simple forgetting" that E. Loftus et al. suggested.…

Finkelhor, David – 1978
Survey information shows that sexual abuse of children is widespread, being reported by 19% of the females and 9% of the males in the sample. Most sexual victimization took place within the child's family, not with strangers, as "child molesters" have traditionally been stereotyped. While the problem cuts across social and economic lines, it seems…

Williams, Linda Meyer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Of the 129 women interviewed, a large portion (38%) did not recall abuse reported 17 years earlier. Those who were younger when abuse occurred or were molested by an acquaintance were more likely to have no recall. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Periods with no memory should not suggest abuse never occurred. (52 references)…

Nonoffending mothers' (n=99) self-reported symptom distress was measured across 3 groups of sexual abuse types: incest, relative, and nonrelative.

This study compared sex offenders against children and adults on measures of cognitive distortions relating to sex with children and rape and a measure of blame attribution.
