Hidden knowledge, silent voices: the role and experiences of children in Domestic Homicide Reviews.

这项研究的重点是儿童经历的家庭暴力和虐待(DVA)和家庭杀人审查(DHR)过程。儿童丧亲网络和温斯顿的愿望估计，在英国，每天大约有一个孩子因为谋杀或过失杀人而失去父母或兄弟姐妹。已公布的DHR反映了约12%的杀人案中有儿童，但儿童很少参与DHR进程，而且往往被这一进程“沉默”，他们持续的需求往往得不到满足。由于《儿童权利公约》的目标是从整体上减少家庭杀戮和家庭暴力，至关重要的是要从受影响儿童的见多识广的声音中获益，并研究他们为何没有参与《儿童权利公约》。

The research focuses on domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and the Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) process as experienced by children. The Childhood Bereavement Network and Winston's Wish estimate that in the UK around 'one child every day is bereaved of a parent or sibling through murder or manslaughter'. Published DHRs reflect the presence of children for around 12% of homicides, but children rarely contribute to the DHR process and are often 'silenced' by the process and their ongoing needs are frequently not addressed. With the goal of DHRs being the reduction of domestic killings and domestic violence as a whole, it is vital to gain from the informative and insightful voices of the children affected, and to research why their involvement in DHRs is not happening.
