Jelly - not 'beat up' (although that is one of the actions under elder abuse), but more things like bully them into giving them $, or access to bank accounts, don't help them with their meds, forget to do things that they've said they'll do (take them to the shop, doctor etc), sexually abuse them, neglect them etc. the physical stuff is usually pinching, slapping etc. ]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:10:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29124&PID=794340&title=depressing-sex-offence-stats#794340 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29124&PID=794279&title=depressing-sex-offence-stats#794279 Author: Jelly

I wish that was surprising, but I know so many girls who have been.. Uhm, abused.

People beat up old people often? ]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:09:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29124&PID=794279&title=depressing-sex-offence-stats#794279 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29124&PID=794109&title=depressing-sex-offence-stats#794109 Author: surfergirl

Sadly, not surprising. I actually thought the stats were higher for 'known' offenders. I work in Older Persons' Health and the figures are equally depressing for elder abuse.

From Stuff:

"A Ministry of Women's Affairs two-year study which analysed all adult sexual violation cases recorded by the police between July 2005 and December 2007 found that he overall conviction rate, based on 1955 recorded cases, was just 13 per cent."

If you the read the Actual report

Stranger assaults accounted for just 15% of cases, and “just met” (within the last 24 hours) assaults for another 16%. So 69% of sexual assaults were perpetrated by people known to the victim – 33% by intimates (family, current or ex-partners), and 37% by other known offenders (friends, acquaintances, colleagues and other work associates, caregivers)

You'll allso find that less than half of the doctors (20%), service providers (38%) and Crown prosecutors (39%) involved in working with victims of sexual violence would advise a friend or family member to go through the criminal justice system due to the difficulty in getting a conviction.

Urgh. ]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:26:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29124&PID=794093&title=depressing-sex-offence-stats#794093
