Child Abuse

Child Abuse is a serious problem that many don't pay attention to. There are four

different versions of child abuse: emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse.

Child abuse is any mistreatment of a child that injures a child in any shape or form. Also, this

report will speak upon how law enforcement and the courts play a role in child abuse as well

and what actions are taken when children are abused.

Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act

causes injury, death, emotional harm, or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms

of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, and

emotional abuse. In Illinois, there is statutory rape, which means in the state of Illinois, 17 years

of age is typically the age of consent for sexual activity of any type. Anyone younger than 17

cannot legally consent to sexual activity that involves sexual conduct – the touching of any

sexual organ by someone else.

According to "Criminal Defense Lawyer" (2020), they explained that in Illinois

predatory criminal sexual assault involves sexual contact or penetration between a person who

is 17 years old or older and a child under the age of 13. The offense is a Class X felony and is

punishable by six to 60 years' imprisonment, a fine of $25 up to $25,000,

or both. Statutory law is opposed to oral or customary law or regulatory law promulgated by the

judiciary's executive or common law.

According to the Children's advocacy centers of Illinois (2020), in 2018, nearly 34,561

cases of child abuse are indicated in Illinois. The Children's advocacy centers of Illinois have

estimated that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. It would

, equal 293,319 children in Illinois. Additionally, they have reported that today, there will be

222 reports of abuse in Illinois.

According to the article "Violence Prevention" (2020), they state that in 2012, 27% of

victims were younger than three years. 20% of victims were age 3-5 years, with children

younger than a year having the highest victimization rate (21.9 per 1,000 children). The rates of

victimization in 2012 were 8.7 per 1,000 children for boys and 9.5 per 1,000 children for girls.

The 2012 rates of victimization per 1,000 children were 14.2 for African Americans, 12.4 for

American Indian/Alaska Natives, 10.3 for Multiracial, 8.7 for Pacific Islanders, 8.4 for

Hispanics, 8.0 for non-Hispanic whites, and 1.7 for Asians.

The type of Criminological Theory that will go with child abuse is Psychological

Theories of Crime. By choosing this theory, it states that psychological Theories of Crime

explains the study of crime and criminals and why people commit crimes. Psychological

theories of crime look at individual factors, such as inadequate socialization and negative early

childhood experiences resulting in criminal thinking patterns. This theory goes with child abuse

because things that happen to people as children tend to affect them when they become older.

They tend to repeat the patterns of what has happened to them.

An offender's characteristics are they display impulse control, aggression, emotional

dependency, fear of abandonment, and impaired ego functioning. Sometimes the parent shows

red flags that they are the abuser by not showing they care for the child, appears unable to

recognize physical or emotional distress in the child, Uses harsh physical discipline.

According to the article "National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect" (2020) explained

that the role of law enforcement has in preventing child abuse is that they provide support to

child protection services, which allows officers to take children away from dangerous situations
