“…The consequences to a child running away can be severe and long lasting. While children are away from home they are at risk of physical, psychological and sexual abuse (CEOP, 2011;Plass, 2007;Finkelstein, Wamsley, Currie & Miranda, 2004). Being missing from home regularly can increase exposure to these risks and is associated with substance misuse (Browne & Falshaw, 1998;CEOP, 2011).…”

Repeat Missing Child Reports in WalesThere were approximately 306,000 reports of missing persons in the UK from 2012-2013, 64% involved children (Bureau, 2014). The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) defines missing as: "Anyone whose whereabouts cannot be established and where the circumstances are out of character or the context suggests the person may be subject of crime or at risk of harm to themselves or another" (ACPO, 2013). Children go missing for a variety of reasons, along a dimension from intentional to unintentional (Biehal, Mitchell and Wade, 2003). This is in line with evidence that some children appear to have voluntarily left the family home or runaway, others have drifted and become increasingly detached, while some children are forcefully removed or abducted (The Child Exploitation and Online Protection command (

The article is devoted to the analysis of law enforcement agencies’ activities to search for missing persons. The purpose of the study is to examine the peculiarities of the analytical work of law enforcement agencies on missing person’s search. The methodological bases are general scientific and special scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge (systemic, formal-logical, structural-functional, sociological, historical and axiological). It is concluded that the criteria for law enforcement agencies to search for missing persons are the general state of search work, search for certain categories of missing persons, trends and processes that cause missing persons, causes and conditions of missing persons, results of police operations and special operations conduct. It is determined that the consolidation and combination of efforts of different units and services during the search work helps to increase the number of facts of locating missing persons. Attention is paid to the identification of factors influencing the assessment of the search work. The state of the international search missing persons is analyzed. The necessity of using the positive experience of European countries in the outlined activities is substantiated.

“…Apenas um estudo recorreu à análise de inquéritos por entrevista realizados via telefone de casos provenientes de um estudo nacional efetuado nos E.U.A. sobre a incidência do desaparecimento de crianças denominado NISMART-2 (Plass, 2007). Nesta categoria estão englobados os subtópicos: (a) Impacto individual do rapto onde são contemplados o impacto do evento em pais, vítimas e irmãos das mesmas (n = 7); (b) Comparação de grupos (n = 3) onde são tidos em consideração grupos como pais com filhos vítimas de homicídio não familiar vs. pais com filhos vitimas de rapto não familiar, casos de rapto familiar vs. rapto por terceiros, bem como mulheres com familiares desaparecidos vs. grupo controlo tendo em conta sintomas psicopatológicos e diferenças consoante o grau de parentesco dos desaparecidos; e (c) Incidência de crimes secundários em crianças desaparecidas (n = 1).…”

ResumoObjetivo: O desaparecimento de uma criança pode ser caracterizado por uma perda ambígua em que a criança está ausente fisicamente mas presente psicologicamente. No contexto da literatura atual não é ainda claro como é que indivíduos e famílias se adaptam a este evento adverso, verificando-se um escasso investimento na investigação sobre este tema. Deste modo, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática com o objetivo de identificar as áreas sobre as quais incidem os estudos existentes sobre crianças desaparecidas, com maior foco na compreensão da sua vivência e impacto na família. Método: No presente estudo realizou-se uma revisão sistemática dos estudos empíricos relacionados com a temática do desaparecimento de uma criança. Resultados: Foram incluídos na revisão 37 estudos analisados a partir de uma análise qualitativa, surgindo quatro temáticas: programas de prevenção de rapto; características do desaparecimento; implicações no reconhecimento de pessoas desaparecidas; impacto psicossocial do desaparecimento. Conclusão: A revisão permitiu concluir que a investigação sobre crianças desaparecidas é escassa e apresenta uma grande dispersão de temas. Verificou-se a necessidade de examinar as características e o impacto dos diversos tipos de desaparecimento. A intensidade deste fenómeno não normativo justifica a necessidade de investigações que possam informar práticas de prevenção e de intervenção empiricamente sustentadas. Palavras-Chave: criança desaparecida, família, perda ambígua AbstractAim: A child's disappearance can be characterized by an ambiguous loss, where the child is physically absent but psychologically present. Research on this phenomenon is scarce and currently it is not clear how individuals and families adapt to this event. Thus, we carried out a systematic review to identify the studies about child disappearance, with greater focus on understanding its impact on the family. Method: This systematic review aims at empirical studies related to the topic of a child's disappearance. Results: Thirty-seven studies were analysed qualitatively and four thematic categories where established: kidnapping prevention programmes; disappearance characteristics; missing person's recognition implications; psychosocial impact of the disappearance. Conclusion: This review concluded that studies evaluating the individual and family impact of the disappearance are still scarce and heterogeneous. There is a need to examine the characteristics and the impact of different types of disappearance. The intensity of this nonnormative phenomenon justifies the need for further research that can inform empirically supported prevention and intervention practices.
