David Finkelhor (born 1947) is an American sociologist known for his research into child sexual abuse and related topics. He is the director of the Crimes against Children Research Center, co-director of the Family Research Laboratory and professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire.

Life and Career[edit]

Finkelhor graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1964, then attended Harvard College, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Relations in 1968. While at Harvard, he took courses at the Institut d'Études Politiques, University of Paris in 1967. He earned his M. Ed. in 1971 from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and he received his Ph.D. in Sociology from University of New Hampshire in 1978 where he studied under Murray A. Straus.^[1]^[2]

Finkelhor is also a senior faculty fellow and Master in Public Policy faculty member at the Carsey School of Public Policy.

Finkelhor began studying the child abuse problems of child victimization, child maltreatment and family violence in 1977. He is known for his conceptual and empirical work on the problem of child sexual abuse, reflected in publications such as Sourcebook on Child Sexual Abuse (Sage, 1986) and Nursery Crimes (Sage, 1988). He has also written about child homicide, missing and abducted children, children exposed to domestic and peer violence and other forms of family violence. His 2008 book, Child Victimization, sought to unify and integrate knowledge about diverse forms of child victimization in a field he has termed "developmental victimology".

Finkelhor has received grants from sources including the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, and the US Department of Justice. In 1994, he was given the Distinguished Child Abuse Professional Award by the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children. In 2004 he was given the Significant Achievement Award from the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers. In 2005 he and his colleagues received the Child Maltreatment Article of the Year award, and in 2007 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Criminology.

Finkelhor researches and has authored many studies, articles, and books on child sexual abuse. He is associated with the model which suggests that there are four preconditions which need to be met in order for child sexual abuse to occur:

an offender with a predisposition to sexually abuse a child;
the ability to overcome the offender's internal inhibitions against acting on that predisposition;
an ability to overcome external barriers, such as lack of access to the child or supervision of the child by others;
an ability to overcome any resistance or reluctance on the part of the child.

He has stated that he intends to continue his research until he proves "an unambiguous and persuasive case that the problem [of child sexual abuse] is widespread". According to Ken Plummer, he is "probably the most prominent sociologist at work in the field [of child sexual abuse]".

In 1988 Finkelhor completed an investigation of child sexual abuse in daycares in the United States in response to the satanic ritual abuse panic and co-authored a book with Linda M. Williams. Mary de Young, a sociologist who has written about the moral panic that occurred along with the McMartin preschool trial, criticized the work for a lack of verifiable evidence and incorrect conclusions. It was also cited by Bruce Rind in his controversial work that concluded that the harm caused by child sexual abuse was not necessarily intense or pervasive.

Elizabeth Ann Virgil[edit]

Elizabeth Ann Virgil (April 24, 1903 – June 20, 1991) was an American educator and the first African American to graduate from the University of New Hampshire, receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in home economics in 1926. She taught at Black schools and colleges in the southern United States for over a decade before returning to New Hampshire, where she worked for her alma mater from 1951 to 1973.^[3]

Life and career[edit]

Virgil was born on April 24, 1903, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Alberta Curry Virgil and Wilcox Virgil. Her mother was the daughter of an emancipated slave from Virginia, and her father had immigrated to Virginia from the West Indies. As a seven-year old, Virgil moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with her family. She graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1922.

College Life[edit]

Virgil enrolled at the University of New Hampshire, where she was active in the glee and other student clubs, played piano and organ, and co-founded the Treble Clefs, a group of singers. Her collegiate experiences seem to have been positive, and on May 26, 1926, she graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science degree in home economics, becoming the first African American to graduate from the university.

Barred from teaching in New Hampshire public schools on account of her race, Virgil accepted jobs as an instructor at racially segregated Black schools and historically Black colleges in the southern United States, including the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute in Petersburg, Bowie Normal School in Maryland, and the Johnston County Training School in Smithfield, North Carolina, where she taught the seventh grade to students ranging in age from 11 to 22. Her school district sent her to take advanced courses at Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York. ^[4]

In the late 1930s, Virgil returned to New Hampshire to care for her mother, whose health was failing. Still unable to find a teaching position on account of her race, she worked a variety of jobs, serving as a secretary at a doctor's office, a clerk-typist at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and a demonstrator of gas appliances. In 1951, she became a clerk in the soil conservation department at the University of New Hampshire, where she entered data and typed scientific reports, among other responsibilities. She held this position at her alma mater for twenty-two years, until her retirement in 1973.

Committed to community service and to the welfare of her alma mater and its students, she sang in community and Congregational Church choirs and served on the UNH president's council. She also established the Alberta Curry Virgil Scholarship at UNH in memory of her mother. In 1991, a few months before Virgil's death, UNH commissioned Grant Drumheller to paint her portrait. It hangs in the lobby of Dimond Library. In 2018, Portsmouth High School honored Virgil with a faculty appointment in perpetuity and unveiled a school mural featuring her.^[5]
