Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Reporting suspected child sexual abuse (CSA) to law enforcement (LE) is a complex process for professionals working with children. Existing research indicates that both individual (e.g., self-efficacy) and institutional factors (e.g., trust in and collaboration with authorities) influence reporting behaviour, but their specific roles in this context remain underexplored.
