<p><strong>HUR vs STA preview: Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars prediction -&nbsp;</strong>Hobart Hurricanes will lock horns with Melbourne Stars on Monday in the Big Bash League tournament. When the two teams faced off at the MCG earlier in December, Melbourne Stars did a wonderful job of containing an explosive batting lineup. Zampa, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Beau Webster and Wood all allowed fewer than seven runs per over. At the time, Webster's economy was 5.25. Matthew Wade won't be playing for the Hurricanes in this match, but Tim David, Zak Crawley, Ben McDermott, and Caleb Jewell are all scoring at rates above 150. Zak Crawley also got a half-century in his debut. The Stars attack is undoubtedly weak against this style of batting, as James Vince's Friday score of 91 off 59 demonstrated.</p>

<p>Boys are slightly more likely to be sexually abused than girls in South&nbsp;Africa, where a third of all children have experienced some form of sexual abuse in their lifetime, according to the first-ever national study of child maltreatment.</p>

<p>Nearly 37 percent of boys and 34 percent of girls have been sexually abused by the age of 17, either physically or in non-physical ways - such as being forced to watch sexual acts, look at genitalia or explicit material.</p>

<p>Girls were more likely to have been sexually abused physically and boys more likely to have experienced non-contact sexual abuse, researchers said in the study published on Tuesday.</p>

<p>&quot;Even though the forms the abuse takes may differ it can nonetheless be equally harmful to the victim and should be treated just as seriously,&quot; Ian Welle-Skitt, spokesman for UBS Optimus Foundation which commissioned the research.</p>

<p>&quot;This study puts South&nbsp;Africa&nbsp;in line with the rest of the world, and challenges the myth that South&nbsp;Africa&nbsp;is a more violent society than others,&quot; Welle-Skitt&nbsp;told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.</p>

<p>A similar study carried out in Switzerland by UBS Optimus Foundation found that abuse between peers and cyber-abuse was higher there than in South&nbsp;Africa.</p>

<p>There were more than 350,000 cases of sexual abuse among children in South&nbsp;Africa&nbsp;last year, according to researchers from the University of Cape Town, and the Cape Town-based Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention, who carried out the study.</p>

<p>Only 31 percent of girls and no boys reported sexual abuse to the police. Young males were especially reluctant to report any form of abuse, the researchers found.</p>

<p>&quot;The sexual abuse and maltreatment of children is preventable, but until now, a lack of data has hindered the development of systems needed to protect and support children,&quot; researchers&nbsp;said.</p>

<p>The study found that when parents knew who their children spent time with and where, they were less likely to become victims of sexual abuse.&nbsp;A&nbsp;supportive relationship between parents and their daughters also significantly lowered the risk for girls.</p>

<p>The researchers&nbsp;recommended that teachers be trained in school safety and that children have classes on sex, gender and violence.&nbsp;They also found substance abuse played an important role.</p>

<p>&quot;Since parental substance misuse is associated with sexual abuse of children, one key preventive strategy is to make substance abuse treatment programmes far more widely available and accessible than they are at present,&quot; the researchers said.</p>
