Abstract
The purpose of this Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) is to understand what is
known about the prevalence, scale and scope of child sexual abuse within the family
environment, the profile of both victims and perpetrators and to identify gaps in
knowledge. We also wanted to know about effective treatment and support, as well
as how the criminal justice processes help or hinder children's protection and
recovery. This knowledge will ensure our Inquiry hypotheses and avenues of
examination are evidence-based.
