Sexual and Physical Violence against Children in Northern Ireland
A Statistical Overview of Recorded Crime 2008–10
It is well evidenced that child sexual abuse is a global problem of considerable extent affecting the lives of millions of children each year. Equally well evidenced is the fact that, despite the frequency of child maltreatment across a range of populations, only a minority of abuse cases come to the attention of the authorities. A review of disclosures of child sexual abuse concluded that 60%–70% of adults had not disclosed their sexual abuse as children, and only a small minority, 10%–18% recalled that their cases were reported to the authorities.
