presented significant victim specific empathy deficits, but were also generally less empathicthan the non-offenders. Their deficits emanated at the perspective taking stage of empathy,particularly towards their own victims. They presented more general deficits at the followingemotional replication stage. These deficits were consistent during and immediately after thesexual encounter with their most recent victim. These results were mostly consistent withrecent research, and emphasised the need for further development of competency-basedmeasures that are not subject to the fundamental bias associated with self report scales. Thelimitations and research implications are discussed with particular emphasis on the EAT andthe factors that manifest these victim specific empathy deficits.Source: Author’s abstractWatson, C. (1996). Policy options for the treatment of sexually abused women who have a mentaldisorder. Unpublished master’s thesis, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13185.pubTopic Areas: Child abuse and neglect, Sexual abuse, Women, Children, Victims/survivors,Children as victims, Health, Mental health, Policy, Social services, Prevention/intervention/treatmentAbstract: This thesis examines the prevalence and impact of childhood sexual abuse, and theresponses of the main health agencies involved in the treatment of sexual abuse. The authorargues that women who have been sexually abused as children can have a variety of reactionsto the abuse both in the short- and long-term; thus policies developed in the area of sexualabuse need to be flexible enough to deal with a spectrum of needs. The author suggests that aseparate team of specialist staff from across the health system, who solely work with victimsof sexual abuse, would provide the best services to victims. The author recommends that aclear statement of the responsibility of mental health services be made; those without a coexistingmental health disorder still receive counselling; there be a defined policy dealingwith victims of sexual abuse who have mental health problems so that clients have all theirneeds met; and best practice guidelines, along with clinical standards, be established for thetreatment of sexual abuse victims.Weatherall, M. (2001). Elder abuse: A survey of managers of residential care facilities in Wellington,New Zealand. Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect, 13(1), 91-99.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13008.pubTopic Areas: Elder abuse and neglect, Families, Older persons, Institutional violenceAbstract: This article presents an exploratory study into the occurrence of elder abuse inresidential care facilities in Wellington, New Zealand. A standardised interview procedurewas conducted with 26 managers of residential care facilities. A definition of the differenttypes of elder abuse are provided, and the managers were asked questions relating to these.Ninety-two percent of the participants revealed that at least one resident in the past year hadbeen a victim of elder abuse. The offender was identified as a family member in 63% ofcases. Despite acknowledging the occurrence of violence towards residents, not all of thefacilities had procedures for the detection or management of elder abuse. Furthermore, theAge Concern Elder Abuse programme was seldom contacted.Wedde, F. R. (2004). Victim refusal to testify in domestic violence cases: Can "victimlessprosecutions" provide the answers.

See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13105.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Women, Victims/survivors, Justice, LegislationAbstract: This thesis discusses the implications of a victim refusing to testify in domesticviolence prosecutions. It points to the frequency with which victims of domestic violencewithdraw their testimony against the perpetrator, citing reasons such as wanting to continue ina relationship with the perpetrator, not wishing to create trouble for the perpetrator, andthinking the trial would have a negative impact on children. The author recommends a changein legislation that would allow prosecution to go ahead without the testimony of the victim,which is not currently the case in New Zealand. This, the author says, will allow the law tohave a zero tolerance attitude towards domestic violence. The author also points out that thereare other avenues for evidence, such as witness accounts, damage to property, and the sceneof the incident. These could substantiate a case without the need to compel the victim totestify.Weir, K. M.. (1999). An exploratory study of pre-schooler’s perceptions and understanding ofconcepts taught in the "Feeling Special, Feeling Safe" sexual abuse prevention program.Unpublished master’s thesis, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12954.pubTopic Areas: Child abuse and neglect, Sexual abuse, Children, Education, Prevention/intervention/treatment, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This thesis evaluated pre-schoolers’ understanding of the Feeling Special, FeelingSafe (FSFS) programme developed by the New Zealand Family Planning Association. Itlooked at whether children were able to learn the concepts taught, what concepts they foundthe most and least difficult, and explored what children understood the concepts to mean. Itused both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Ninety-eight children fromeight Manawatu kindergartens completed an adapted version of the Children’s Knowledge ofAbuse Questionnaire Revision II. The participant group of 63 children (average age 4 yearsand 7 months) completed the questionnaire after FSFS participation, and the control group of35 children (average age, 4 years and 6 months) before FSFS participation. Parents ofchildren in the participant group completed a six-item survey on how their child responded toFSFS, and their view of FSFS. The results support the hypothesis that children who hadparticipated in the programme would have more knowledge of prevention concepts thanchildren who had not participated in the programme. Parents generally viewed FSFSpositively, although 13.5% observed negative behaviour changes stemming from the bodyownership concept (that children are in charge of their body and have a right to say ‘no’ tounwanted touching). Results are discussed in view of adaptations and extensions to FSFS andprevention programmes for pre-schoolers in general that could aid children’s learning andabuse prevention. FSFS was concluded to be a worthwhile prevention programme for preschoolaged children.Source: Author’s abstractWeldon, S. L. (2002).
