Abstract

There is a limited understanding about how an association with those that download Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), a highly stigmatized crime, impacts the lives of their innocent family members. Non-offending family members are often considered a valuable protective resource for offender desistance and in safeguarding children from abuse. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the lived experiences of female family members of CSAM offenders in Ireland and the United Kingdom to both identify and target areas for intervention thus ameliorating their ability to protect. A qualitative research design was adopted, and data analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis. Fifteen individuals self-selected for participation and interviews resulted in the identification of three key themes: Shattered Worldview, The Injured Self; Contamination by Association. The analysis highlighted how non-offending family members experienced considerable shame, trauma, and stigma with consequences that reached into every aspect of their lives. The findings are discussed in the context of the limited available literature along with research implications and recommendations for both policy and practice.

对于与下载儿童性虐待材料(CSAM)的人的联系如何影响他们无辜家庭成员的生活,人们的了解有限。非犯罪家庭成员通常被认为是一种宝贵的保护资源,有助于阻止犯罪和保护儿童免受虐待。因此,本研究旨在探索爱尔兰和英国CSAM罪犯女性家庭成员的生活经历,以确定并针对干预领域,从而提高她们的保护能力。采用定性研究设计,通过反身主题分析对数据进行分析。15名自我选择参加和访谈的人确定了三个关键主题:破碎的世界观、受伤的自我;协会污染。该分析强调了非犯罪家庭成员如何经历相当大的羞耻感、创伤和耻辱感,其后果影响到他们生活的方方面面。这些发现是在有限的可用文献的背景下进行讨论的,以及对政策和实践的研究意义和建议。

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.
