emained the same.The findings <strong>of</strong> this investigation suggest that (at least for this sample) incest <strong>of</strong>fenders seemto exhibit increased levels <strong>of</strong> concern for their victims as a result <strong>of</strong> undergoing specialisedtherapeutic interventions designed to enhance victim empathy. However, as the treatment <strong>of</strong>child sex <strong>of</strong>fenders involves more than just empathy enhancement, further <strong>research</strong> isrequired to determine if these changes in victim empathy are associated with long-termrecidivism.Source: Author’s abstractMaxwell, G., Anderson, T., & Olsen, T.

Thestudy investigated the experiences <strong>of</strong> women who are victims <strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong>. Barriers toattending the programmes were identified, such as time constraints and concerns aboutsharing personal information in a group setting. This report emphasises the importance <strong>of</strong> aninteragency collaborative approach to link women with resources so they may be protectedfrom <strong>violence</strong>. Meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> women, cultural responsiveness, accessibility, suitablestaff, and adequate funding were identified as components <strong>of</strong> an effective programme forprotecting victims <strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong>. Recommendations include strategies designedspecifically for Maori victims, incorporating tikanga Maori principles and protocols.Maxwell, G., Barthauer, L., & Julian, R. (2000).

A postal surveycollected data from 381 GPs and Plunket nurses. Barriers to investigating incidents <strong>of</strong> childabuse are identified in the article, including the possibility <strong>of</strong> the patient terminating contact ifthe case was investigated. This article discusses s59 <strong>of</strong> the Crimes Act (1961) in relation tohow it creates conflict for health practitioners when determining whether a child has beenabused or not. How GPs and Plunket nurses respond when the presenting client is <strong>of</strong> anotherculture is also explored. Finally, the article highlights that health practitioners feel they needmore information about child abuse, including indicators and the legalities <strong>of</strong> reporting abuse.112

The authors emphasise the dearth <strong>of</strong> <strong>research</strong> in New Zealandpertaining to children’s experiences <strong>of</strong> <strong>violence</strong>. The authors conducted a study <strong>of</strong> 259children, aged 11 to 13 years, to investigate the impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>violence</strong> on children, and whatevents affect them the most. Approximately half <strong>of</strong> the sample had witnessed adults fightingin the home. The authors found that witnessing <strong>violence</strong> was significantly detrimental tochildren, emphasising the vulnerability <strong>of</strong> children to events occurring around them. Sexual‘touching’ and physical <strong>violence</strong> towards children was uncommon, but when this did occur,the impact on the child was substantial with largely emotional as opposed to physicalconsequences. Implications for policy and practice, and means <strong>of</strong> prevention and interventionare discussed.Maynard, K., & Wood, B. (2002).

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this <strong>research</strong> was to document the impact thatPTSD symptoms have on victims <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong>. In the first part <strong>of</strong> the study, in-depthinterviews were undertaken with the 3 participants. The results <strong>of</strong> this study suggest that theimpact <strong>of</strong> PTSD induced by male partner <strong>violence</strong> has pr<strong>of</strong>ound effects on victims <strong>of</strong>domestic <strong>violence</strong> and their children. Participants’ level <strong>of</strong> impairment ranged from mild tosevere. These interviews confirm that PTSD <strong>of</strong>ten goes undiagnosed, and therefore untreated.Participants found it difficult to separate the impact <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong> on their lives fromthe impact <strong>of</strong> their PTSD symptoms. However, there is evidence that ‘something’, whether it113
