Sexual abuse and sexual assault are serious public health concerns. Although almost all of the research shows that the majority of sexual perpetrators are males, there is growing evidence that female-perpetrated sexual abuse is not rare and that the consequences of female-perpetrated sexual abuse can be just as traumatic as male-perpetrated sexual abuse. Despite this, there has been very little research published that has focused on female sex offending. Furthermore, although there have been some efforts in the past decade to stop sexual offenses by targeting potential perpetrators, few efforts have specifically focused on preventing females from becoming sex offenders. In an attempt to fill this gap, this article describes common characteristics of female sex offenders; and, based on these characteristics, suggestions are given of possible ways to intervene in the lives of at-risk females before they offend.
性虐待和性侵犯是严重的公共卫生问题。尽管几乎所有研究都表明，大多数性犯罪者为男性，但越来越多的证据表明，女性实施的性虐待并不罕见，而且女性实施性虐待的后果可能与男性实施性虐待一样具有创伤性。尽管如此，很少有已发表的研究关注女性性犯罪。此外，尽管在过去十年中曾有一些针对潜在犯罪者来阻止性犯罪的努力，但很少有努力专门聚焦于防止女性成为性犯罪者。为了填补这一空白，本文描述了女性性犯罪者的常见特征；并基于这些特征，给出了在高危女性实施犯罪之前介入其生活的可能方式的建议。
