“…In the early days post-CAPTA, child welfare professionals followed their own intuition in data gathering about possible child sexual abuse [24]. For example, the model for investigating physical abuse or neglect involved child protection investigators going to the home and "confronting" the parents with the allegations.…”

This article describes the evolution of forensic interviewing as a method to determine whether or not a child has been sexually abused, focusing primarily on the United States. It notes that forensic interviewing practices are challenged to successfully identify children who have been sexually abused and successfully exclude children who have not been sexually abused. It describes models for child sexual abuse investigation, early writings and practices related to child interviews, and the development of forensic interview structures from scripted, to semi-structured, to flexible. The article discusses the controversies related appropriate questions and the use of media (e.g., anatomical dolls and drawings). It summarizes the characteristics of four important interview structures and describes their impact of the field of forensic interviewing. The article describes forensic interview training and the challenge of implementing training in forensic practice. The article concludes with a summary of progress and remaining controversies and with future challenges for the field of forensic interviewing.

“…Multilevel interventions focused on substance use and abuse have been implemented; however, less attention has been given to multilevel interventions for violence against women and multilevel campaigns addressing both victimization and substance abuse. Community-level interventions are vital tools for influencing cultural, neighborhood, and societal norms for violence against women and children (Breslin, 1997; Faller, 1999; Kenny & McEachern, 2000; Kingsley & Pettit, 2000; A. Roberts, 2000).…”

Although the literature indicates that there is an association of victimization with substance abuse, there has been limited research focused on understanding and synthesizing the factors that have been identified as contributing to victimization and substance abuse and on interventions designed to address these contributing factors. The purposes of this article are to (a) review the literature on factors related to victimization and substance abuse, (b) review interventions and outcomes, and (c) discuss clinical implications for interventions and research. Results suggest that there is a high rate of co-occurrence of victimization and substance abuse among women, that the factors contributing to victimization and substance abuse are complex, and that there is a lack of treatment models addressing victimization and substance abuse.
