摘要

本定性研究考察了与德克萨斯州儿童保护中心(CACs)合作的执法人员的看法,对20名参与者进行了匿名电话采访,以更好地解释他们对资源、资金、培训以及与儿童保护服务、地区检察官办公室、医务人员和CAC工作人员的利益相关者合作的看法。出现了五个主题:缺乏资金、专门的病例量、高流动率和人员需求、情感损失和沟通。本文讨论了这些主题,并为执法部门、廉政公署从业人员和廉政公署利益相关者提出了建议。主要的从业人员建议包括:行政部门了解处理虐待儿童案件所需的时间和专业知识,由儿童中心提供更少和更频繁的培训,以促进利益相关者之间的沟通和合作,以及增加额外人员和资源的资金,以促进官员的情绪健康。本文还讨论了本研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。

"It's Like We Never See the Light at the End of the Tunnel": Law Enforcement Perceptions on Stakeholder Collaboration and Resources at CACs in a Southern State.

This qualitative study examined the perceptions of law enforcement officers who work with Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) in Texas, utilizing anonymous phone interviews with 20 participants to better explain their views on resources, funding, training, and stakeholder collaboration with Child Protective Services, the district attorney's office, medical personnel, and CAC staff. Five themes emerged: lack of funding, specialized caseload, high turnover and personnel needs, emotional toll, and communication. These themes are discussed, and recommendations are made for law enforcement administration, CAC practitioners, and CAC stakeholders. Key practitioner recommendations include administration understanding the time and specialization required for child abuse cases, smaller and more frequent trainings provided by the CACs to facilitate improved communication and collegiality between stakeholders, and increased funding for additional personnel and resources to benefit officer emotional wellbeing. Limitations of this study and recommendations for future studies are also discussed.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
