There are also, of course, several computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) packages and specialist software and programs, such as Atlas. ti and NVivo, which can aid analysis of your data. The analysis described in Box 12. 3 used in vivo coding to stay close to the participants’ language and to help ensure the credibility and dependability of analysis. Several chapters in this book refer to
and exemplify the use of such computer-assisted analytic technologies which may involve arranging codes in hierarchies or ‘trees’ (see Chapter 11 in this volume), for example. CAQDAS may assist with the disassembling and reassembling of your data and indeed with the presentation of your findings, but it cannot do the thinking for you. See Box 12. 4 for an example of a research project where data analysis involved thematic content analysis using NVivo 10 software. The examples provided empha- size the importance of thinking through the rules that govern your analysis and the importance of articulating what the rules or values are that guide your coding, for example, and inform the different levels of analysis you undertake.
BOX 12. 4 THEMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS USING NVIVO 10 SOFTWARE
Hohendorff, J. V., Habigzang, L. F. and Koller, S. H. (2017) ‘“A boy, being a victim, nobody really buys that, you know? ” Dynamics of sexual violence against boys’, Child Abuse & Neglect, 70: 53–64.
Using NVivo 10 software, eight interview transcripts were submitted to thematic content analysis (four interviews with boys and four with practitioners). The deduc- tive, or theoretical, analysis of the interviews was guided by six themes (drawn from the integrative module of sexual violence against children proposed by one of the authors), referring to the different stages of sexual abuse against children and ado- lescents: Preparation, Episodes, Silencing, Narrative, Suppression and Overcoming. The themes, sub-themes and examples drawn from the interviews with the boys are illustrated in Table 12. 1.
TaBle 12. 1 Themes, Sub-themes and Examples Drawn from the Interviews with the Boys
Themes Sub-themes Examples
Preparation Proximity to
the offender
Relational asymmetry Play activities
He would get into my house, then my mother would leave, so he would babysit;
My friend, when I was playing videogame at his house

I was really little and didn’t understand anything
He (i. e. the offender) is nice sometimes… He even plays with me;
He was really cool, he used to play with me, then later he raped me
(Continued)
TaBle 12. 1 (Continued)
Themes Sub-themes Examples
Episodes Victim vulnerability
Type/frequency of sexual violence
Use of physical force by the offender
Victim reactions
I slept on his bed by accident, I was passed out (…) I didn’t understand it, really. I didn’t understand it, really
Almost every day, when he went to my house and I went to his house, he raped me; He went and put that wiener all the way in my butt (…) Before it
was maybe three times; Just once. Just once.
He took me (…) When I opened the door like this, he came over really quickly and got me; Then he held me like this, and tied my hand like that
I was disgusted (…) Then I ran home; After he did that to me I tried to stop him, but I couldn’t
Silencing Fear I was really scared of telling everyone, anyone
Disbelief by others
Narrative Repeated reports
But then my mom didn’t believe me, so I said it was all a lie
Then after (telling my mom) my neighbor started to ask about it, because she heard everything (…) So then I told her everything, and she told everything to my mom
Facilitators Later I began to figure out what he did, because I saw it on TV, right? On the news … Then I began to figure it out, and I talked
Victim feelings When I talk I feel kind of stressed (…) I feel angry, kind of nervous, I feel so angry I might explode
Family reactions
Then she (sister) told my mom, my mom cried, my dad called the doctor, then took us there
Repression Discreditation Then my mom told her and she (the mother of the
perpetrator) didn’t believe it
Avoidance by the victim
So I told her (mother) that I felt like doing it (the same as they did to him) whenever they talked to me about it, but that was a lie, just so she wouldn’t talk about it anymore. I don’t like it (talking about the abuse)
