Like in many countries, the Australian Government has conducted an inquiry into child sexual abuse that occurred in institutional settings (The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse). Drawing on the findings from a qualitative study commissioned by the Royal Commission, this paper explores the perceptions of victim/survivors The term 'victim' is used within the criminal justice system and the term 'survivor' can be used as to denote recovery and empowerment, so we use them interchangeably throughout. of the ways in which institutions (or individuals within them) responded supportively when sexual abuse was reported. While researchers and inquiries have reported on inadequacy of institutional responses, this paper addresses a research gap by investigating responses that victims/survivors perceived as helpful, while mindful of the overwhelmingly negative nature of their experiences. The paper contributes to the literature on institutional responses to child sexual abuse methodologically - by reporting on the challenges of a study of this type - and theoretically, by proposing a framework indicating how different helpful elements of an institutional response to child sexual abuse relate to each other in the victim/survivors' experiences. The findings are relevant for research on best practice in institutional responses to child sexual abuse.
与许多国家一样，澳大利亚政府对机构环境中发生的儿童性虐待事件展开了调查（皇家机构对儿童性虐待反应委员会）。本文借鉴皇家委员会委托进行的一项定性研究的结果，探讨了受害者/幸存者（在刑事司法系统中使用“受害者”一词，“幸存者”一词可用于表示康复和赋权，因此我们在全文中互换使用这两个词）对机构（或其中的个人）在报告性虐待时给予支持性回应方式的看法。虽然研究人员和调查已报告了机构回应的不足之处，但本文通过调查受害者/幸存者认为有帮助的回应来填补研究空白，同时铭记他们经历中压倒性的负面性质。本文在方法上——通过报告此类研究的挑战——以及理论上——通过提出一个框架，表明机构对儿童性虐待的回应中不同的有益要素在受害者/幸存者的经历中如何相互关联——为有关机构对儿童性虐待回应的文献做出了贡献。这些发现与机构对儿童性虐待最佳回应实践的研究相关。
