46. What are the minimalist and maximalist perspectives on the incidence, prevalence, and seriousness of child abuse?
ANSWER:
The maximalists argue that the problem of child abuse is more widespread and severe than
people know. Their stance is that child abuse is an epidemic and needs to be taken more
seriously by society and its institutions. Maximalists/alarmists contend that most crimes of
abuse are unreported and any current statistics would be far below what we should expect.
Many children who are abused are afraid to tell, might purposely forget or hide it, and/or
distrust government service workers. Social service agencies do not have a handle on the
number of cases of child abuse, according to maximalists. These agencies are understaffed,
under-resourced, and overburdened with cases to do proper investigation.
Minimalists contend that child abuse is not an epidemic, and that it is not as grave as
indicated by the maximalists. These skeptics argue that most cases are minor instances
and some physical punishments, such as spanking, should not be defined as child abuse.
They say child abuse should be defined as clearly inappropriate and excessive force used
upon a child. Minimalists advocate for clearer definitions and for the exclusion from official
statistics of cases that were dismissed or closed due to insufficient evidence.

47. Discuss two policies and programs used to address missing children. Are they successful? How so?
ANSWER:
In 1990, Congress passed the National Child Search Assistance Act, which prohibited
police departments from having waiting periods before declaring a child missing. This was
beneficial for victims and their parents, since most abductors would have time to escape
the local area if there were long waiting periods, and that in turn would mean less chance
of catching the offenders and saving the victims.
In addition, the burden of proof had fallen upon the parents to demonstrate that their
children were kidnapped, which was a difficult task at best. To provide an organized
system of assistance, our federal government sponsored the National Center for Missing
issues, both physically and mentally. Children who are abused are more likely to get

48. To avoid further traumatizing child victims, the idea of child-friendly courtroom settings and practices has taken hold
in recent years. Describe and discuss these practices.
ANSWER:
The law provides for a child advocate to assist and support children victims of abuse,
called a guardian ad litem. Such individuals are either attorneys or volunteers, and they
can submit their recommendations to the court about what would be in the child’s best
interest. Another advancement is the perception of children as credible witnesses in the
cases against their abusers. A judge normally will make a determination whether a child
understands the difference between truth and lies, understands the seriousness of the
proceedings, and whether the child can remember the incident(s) in question. The trauma
that a court case can inflict on a child has also been recognized, as now courts make use of
technology like video recording and live closed-circuit television to provide for children to
testify from separate rooms so they do not have to confront their abusers directly. While
some argue that this is a violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights, the United States
Supreme Court has ruled that providing alternatives to direct confrontation is permissible
in certain circumstances. Interviewers of child victims have taken new approaches to
reduce harm. Some investigators now use dolls to facilitate their understanding of the case;
in other jurisdictions, they use drawings. Finally, rooms used to interview children are now
decorated playrooms, and criminal justice professionals take the time to orient the child to
the courthouse and courtrooms.

These can escalate into an adult criminal career if not addressed. Physical results from
abuse can range from unwanted pregnancies to sexually transmitted diseases. Another
concern is the continuation of the abuse, and a creation of intergenerational violence, as
grown children repeat the victimization they experienced by inflicting it upon their own
children.

50. Why are data about child kidnapping so sparse? What impact does this have on our understanding of the crime?
ANSWER:
The United States did not keep records on the scope of the child kidnapping problem until
the 1980s. The FBI’s Unified Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is not helpful, as
kidnapping is not a Part I index offense. It was classified under offenses against family and
children and “all other offenses” in Part II. The National Crime Victimization Surveys
(NCVS) do not survey respondents in a household under the age of 12, nor do they inquire
to other members of the family about crimes committed against these youth. A result of
this lack of data means difficulty in resolving the debate between alarmists and skeptics.
Alarmists argue that kidnapping is common and have called for measures to be taken to
address abductions by strangers. Skeptics contend that the prevalence of kidnapping has
been overestimated. They argue that much of the hype is a gimmick to sell products and
services to the public, for politicians to get on the bandwagon to get votes, and for child-
search organizations to get more funding.
