See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/11879.pubTopic Areas: Elder abuse and neglect, Older persons, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This report presents data on referrals to Age Concern New Zealand Elder Abuseand Neglect services from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2001. Data was gathered from 14 AgeConcern services and provides indicative information about elder abuse and neglect in NewZealand. However, it is not necessarily representative of the overall incidence of elder abuseand neglect in New Zealand. The report acknowledges the need to improve knowledge aboutelder abuse and neglect, and inform the development of strategies to combat this type ofviolence. Among its recommendations, the report states that to improve data collection, it isnecessary to develop a national database incorporating data from all Elder Abuse and Neglectprevention and intervention providers, and improve the Age Concern database.Age Concern New Zealand.

Wellington, New Zealand: Author.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/11971.pubTopic Areas: Elder abuse and neglect, Older persons, Policy, Social services, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This is a special topic report drawing on Age Concern New Zealand’s Elder Abuseand Neglect Database. The topic of Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) was selected inresponse to interest in EPA and elder abuse and neglect, both in New Zealand andinternationally. The report’s authors identify changes to the data collection tool prior tocommencing data collection for 2004/05, and report on findings of the data analysis andlessons learned through the process of preparing the report.Age Concern New Zealand. (2005). Age Concern Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention services: Ananalysis of referrals for the period: 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2004. Wellington, New Zealand:Author.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12396.pubTopic Areas: Elder abuse and neglect, Neglect, Suicide/self-harm, Financial exploitation,Older persons, Perpetrators/offenders, Institutional violence, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This report provides an analysis of data obtained from 1,288 referrals to 16 AgeConcern New Zealand and Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention services during the period 1July 2002 to 30 June 2004. The report presents a discussion of the nature, context, prevalenceand consequences of elder abuse and neglect. The analysis found that the most frequent typeof abuse experienced by older persons was psychological abuse (59%), followed by financialexploitation (42%). The characteristics of abusers were examined, and the study revealed thatsons and daughters are the most common perpetrators of elder abuse and neglect, followedclosely by husbands, wives or partners. Institutional violence is identified as a significantcontributory factor to the abuse experienced by older persons. Due to the dearth of research inthe area of elder abuse and neglect, the author urges that further investigation is needed intoabuse within residential settings, aspects of financial abuse, and the prevalence and incidenceof elder abuse in New Zealand as a whole. Limitations of this study are acknowledged,particularly its lack of representativeness of the wider population.Aldridge, A. (2000). Difficulty with detecting: Metanarratives and a discourse analysis of general6
practitioners’ talk about domestic violence. Unpublished master’s thesis, Massey University,Palmerston North, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12992.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Women, Victims/survivors, Gender, Health,Prevention/intervention/treatmentAbstract: This thesis discusses the author’s research on general practitioners’ discoursesaround domestic violence. Feminist theory and discourse analysis are used to examineanswers given in a series of interviews, the results of which are the basis for the discussion inthe thesis. The discussion lists types of discourses evident in doctors’ talk, including liberalhumanist, medical, and confession. The author argues that there are contradictions amongthese discourses, which are shown through metanarratives, and she highlights that doctorshave fears and worries, feelings of inadequacy, and a lack of training in the area. The authormaintains that, at times, doctors do not actively pursue domestic violence by asking womendirectly if they have been subject to domestic violence because they do not want to offendpatients; they do not see violence as a medical problem, and they are concerned about nothaving the legal right to intervene.Aldridge, A., & Coombes, L. (2005). ‘It’s really quite a delicate issue’: GPs talk about domesticviolence. Women’s Studies Journal, 19(2), 56-78.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12329.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Women, Health, Cultural practiceAbstract: This article presents a discussion of the authors’ research on general practitioners’(GPs) understanding of domestic violence, and the physical, emotional and social effects onwomen victims. Ten GPs responded from a total of 90 GPs canvassed in a central NorthIsland province. Semi-structured interviews were employed to gather information, and thenarratives of the participating GPs were analysed for common themes. The findings showthat, in general, GPs were not certain about how to detect evidence of domestic violence,primarily due to a lack of adequate training in this area. The GPs identified physical signs ofabuse as easier to detect than psychological or emotional indicators of abuse. The authorsfound that GPs did not have sufficient knowledge of social problems that contribute to poorhealth outcomes. Many of the participants disclosed that they believed that women shouldtake some action towards leaving an abusive relationship, and that they felt frustrated if apatient continued to return to their abusive partner. The authors suggests that training forhealth professionals involving a psycho-social perspective would be beneficial, as GPs areoften the first point of contact for domestic violence victims.Archer, M. J. (2002). Courts rush in where science fears to tread: Psychological testimony in childsexual abuse cases under s23G(2)(c) of the Evidence Act 1908. Unpublished manuscript,University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12982.pubTopic Areas: Sexual abuse, Children as victims, Justice, Legislation, Mental health, CulturalpracticeAbstract: This paper examines the admissibility of psychological evidence in child sexualabuse cases. The use of this type of evidence is regulated by the law of evidence, which statesthat psychological evidence is admissible only if the child displays behaviours that arecompellingly and unmistakably consistent with sexual abuse. Psychologists and psychiatristsgiving expert testimony must have clinical experience with children who have been sexually7
