TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Sexual abuse in Chinese children in Hong Kong: a review of 134 cases JO - Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry A1 - Ho, T. P. A1 - Mak, F. L. SP - 639 EP - 643 VL - 26 IS - 4 N2 - This is a retrospective study of 134 cases of sexual abuse in Chinese children aged 16 years or under in Hong Kong. The data with respect to the victim's age, sex, severity and type (intra- or extrafamilial) of abuse, perpetrator's characteristics and family disturbances were analysed. The overall profile is similar to that reported in the West. The reasons for the apparently low prevalence, younger age of victim and low proportion of male victims are discussed.
