Girls in the juvenile justice system have high rates of past sexual abuse. To better understand the relationship between sexual abuse and justice system involvement, we analyzed survey interviews with 169 young women involved or at risk of involvement with juvenile justice, comparing girls who experienced sexual abuse with those who did not. Girls experiencing sexual abuse had more negative mental health, school, substance use, risky sexual behavior, and delinquency outcomes. These findings highlight a need for interventions to assist girls who have experienced abuse and efforts to prevent abuse and improve child welfare and social service systems.
少年司法系统中的女孩过去遭受性虐待的比例很高。为了更好地理解性虐待与司法系统介入之间的关系，我们分析了对169名涉及或有涉及少年司法风险的年轻女性的调查访谈，比较了经历过性虐待的女孩和未经历过性虐待的女孩。经历过性虐待的女孩在心理健康、学业、物质使用、危险性行为和犯罪方面有更多负面结果。这些发现凸显了需要采取干预措施来帮助遭受过虐待的女孩，并努力预防虐待，改善儿童福利和社会服务系统。
