在英格兰和威尔士,家庭凶杀案审查在家庭凶杀案发生后完成。他们提供多机构帐户的家庭生活与家庭暴力和虐待(DVA)及其互动的服务。这项研究涉及儿童参与家庭凶杀案的问题。我们分析了2011年发表的所有DHR中有18岁以下儿童的DHR 16。这从总共142份报告中产生了55份人力资源报告的次级样本。儿童接触凶杀的程度各不相同,有些儿童直接目睹了凶杀,看到了后果或呼救。人力资源报告提供的关于儿童需要或其未来照料的信息有限,儿童很少参与审查进程本身。近三分之一的报告指出,儿童以前有过家庭暴力的经历,接触成为维持控制和恐吓的一种手段。有证据表明,专业人员的视野狭隘,他们错过了DVA的指标,未能与肇事者接触或倾听儿童的声音。从业人员需要培训和评估工具,将他们的注意力引导到儿童身上,并了解资源,以便确定需要和适当的转诊。法律和实践应处理儿童参与人力资源开发进程的问题,以及与儿童接触所蕴含的风险。
In England and Wales, Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) are completed following domestic homicides. They provide multi-agency accounts of families living with domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and their interactions with services. This study addressed childrens involvement in domestic homicide. We analysed all DHRs where there were children under eighteen among those published in 201116. This yielded a sub-sample of fifty-five DHRs from a total of 142 reports. The extent of childrens exposure to homicide varied, with some directly witnessing the homicide, viewing the aftermath or calling for help. DHRs provided limited information on childrens needs or their future care and children were only rarely involved in the review process itself. Nearly a third of reports identified that children had previous experience of DVA and contact emerged as a means of sustaining control and intimidation. There was evidence of blinkered vision among professionals who missed indicators of DVA and failed to engage with perpetrators or listen to children. Practitioners need training and assessment tools that direct their attention onto children and knowledge of resources that enables identification of need and appropriate referrals. Law and practice should address childrens involvement in the DHR process and the risks embedded in child contact.
