Child sexual abuse in Croatia: Review of prevalence research and analysis of official data

Data on child sexual abuse (CSA) prevalence research and data from official institutions help us understand CSA as a serious social problem which is crucial for policy development and allocation of resources into its prevention. There is no systematic review of Croatian prevalence research nor has official data been analysed in the previous decade. The objectives of this paper are 1) to evaluate available prevalence data of CSA in Croatia, 2) to analyse contemporary trends of official CSA cases reported to the Croatian authorities, 3) to identify obstacles in determining the true prevalence and trends of CSA. A systematic review of CSA prevalence research in Croatia is presented. In order to estimate the quality of the existing CSA prevalence data, different types of research are evaluated according to research methodology (research question, type of research, time and place, sampling method and size, instrument and CSA items, results). With the intention of analysing contemporary trends of CSA cases reported to authorities, documentation analysis of the Ministry of the Interior (2001 – 2016) and State Attorney’s Office (2003 – 2015) is conducted. The review of prevalence research indicates that only a few high-quality studies allow estimates of CSA prevalence: approximately 8.5% - 13.7% of children in Croatia have experienced contact CSA, or 16.5% to 18.1% if non-contact CSA is included. Analysis of cases reported to the police for the time period 2001 – 2012 indicates an annual average of 220.9 reported cases and for the time period 2013 -2016 annual average of 500.5. Legislative changes of the Croatian Criminal Code and the lack of uniformity in recording CSA cases within the institutions prevents comparisons of the data and firm conclusion on CSA reporting trends over time. However, overall data suggest that the majority of sexually abused children in Croatia do not report CSA. Those who report it, often face with the reluctance of the judicial system to convict defendants. Although the number of convictions (confirmed CSA cases) has increased in comparison to the first observed year, an annual average of convictions is nearly half the number of criminal charges. The detailed framework of difficulties in determining the exact prevalence and trends of CSA in Croatia is developed. Three different types of obstacles are identified and explained: a) obstacles at the personal level of disclosing, recognising and reporting CSA ; b) obstacles at the level of conducting CSA prevalence research in population ; c) obstacles at the level of national institutions responsible for monitoring CSA.
