The aim of this investigation was to undertake an exploratory analysis of child care providers who sexually offend against children and adolescents and the circumstances related to these offences. Archival Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System (ViCLAS) reports were obtained from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and demographic and criminal characteristics for the offender, as well as information about the victim and offence, were selected for analyses. A descriptive approach was used to analyze the qualitative reports for a group of 305 Canadian sexual offenders between 1995 and 2002. Adult male (N = 163) and female ( N = 14), along with juvenile male (N = 100) and female (N = 28) child care providers who were involved in a sexual offence against a child or adolescent are described. This article provides unique information about the crimes committed by child care providers in that it is focused on crime characteristics, rather than on personality or treatment variables. Furthermore, it represents a comprehensive examination of this type of offender by including understudied groups, namely juvenile and female offenders.
本调查的目的是对性侵儿童和青少年的儿童保育人员以及与这些犯罪相关的情况进行探索性分析。从加拿大皇家骑警（RCMP）获取了档案暴力犯罪关联分析系统（ViCLAS）报告，并选取了犯罪者的人口统计学和犯罪特征以及有关受害者和犯罪的信息进行分析。采用描述性方法对1995年至2002年间305名加拿大性犯罪者的定性报告进行分析。描述了涉及性侵儿童或青少年的成年男性（N = 163）和女性（N = 14）以及青少年男性（N = 100）和女性（N = 28）儿童保育人员。本文提供了有关儿童保育人员所犯罪行的独特信息，因为它关注的是犯罪特征，而非个性或治疗变量。此外，通过纳入研究不足的群体，即青少年和女性犯罪者，它对这类犯罪者进行了全面考察。
