Child Abuse Khadijah Barnes
Introduction The topic that I will be focusing on is child abuse. I decided to go with this topic because it is interesting and gives people an insight to a person's life. It also opens you up to learning new things and allowing others to be appreciative for not being a victim of child abuse. Child abuse can be defined in different ways such as physical, sexual, emotional/psychological, and neglect.
Method • Overt Observations on there behavior • Three interviews on each victim • Gaining access/making the person feel comfortable
Questions • Why are children subjected to child abuse? • Do all children grow up to be like there offender? • What precautions do they have to take to heal? • What went on in their minds as this went on? • How did it affect their relationships with others around them? • How are you able to cope with everyday life after going through child abuse at a young age? • Do you believe this will affect your identity as a person?
Concepts Stigma • The wise • Discredited/ Discreditable • Passing Abc’s of deviance • Attitudes • Beliefs • Conditions
Deviance + Child Abuse • The relation between deviance and child abuse is the criminal act intended. • The victim accepts the deviant behavior from there offender because they are usually afraid.
Settings • New York City • Buffalo, New York
Findings • Children that are abused have a difficult time growing up and accepting what happened. • Not all children grow up to be offenders • Something interesting that I found out was that when females are abused they are more likely to become pregnant at a young age. • Children blame themselves for what happened and they often have low self esteem. • They have difficulties opening up to talk to people about what they went through.
Further Research • I would interview people I don’t know who has been abused as a child • Try to interview an offender • Observe more patterns and behaviors
