Violence against children has been until now recognised as physical aggression escalating from corporal punishment, hard physical labour to homicide. Nowadays child abuse is considered as maltreatment occurring in four different aspects: physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. Child abuse is difficult to disclose, as it is concealed both by the perpetrators and the victims. The child is afraid and at the same time, almost always ashamed of looking for help. The victim frequently feels guilty, considers the violence as a norm, but in many cases is not able to speek precisely and very often has problems in contacting the required person. The objective of this study is to analyse the phenomenon of child abuse on the basis of Department of Forensic Medicine records. The victims were characterized in terms of their age, sex, place of residence and the type and location of injuries. The kind of abuse and perpetrators were also determined by researchers.
直到现在，针对儿童的暴力行为都被认为是从体罚、繁重体力劳动到杀人等不断升级的身体攻击。如今，虐待儿童被视为在四个不同方面发生的虐待行为：身体虐待、心理虐待、性虐待和忽视。虐待儿童很难被揭露，因为施虐者和受害者都会隐瞒此事。孩子既害怕，同时几乎总是羞于寻求帮助。受害者常常感到内疚，将暴力视为常态，但在很多情况下无法准确表达，而且在联系所需人员时经常遇到问题。本研究的目的是根据法医学部门的记录分析虐待儿童现象。研究人员根据受害者的年龄、性别、居住地点以及受伤类型和部位对受害者进行了描述。还确定了虐待类型和施虐者。
