Jones, Lisa M.; Finkelhor, David
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v27 n2 p133-35 Feb 2003
This commentary discusses the decline in sexual abuse, citing research that indicates differences in self-reported sexual abuse across age-cohorts in a population-based sample of Australian adults. Similar declines in Ireland and the United States are also noted. The usefulness of self-report surveys for examining trends in child victimization is explored. (Contains 5 references.) (CR)
