The cycle of violence thesis posits that early exposure to maltreatment increases the likelihood of later maladaptive and antisocial behaviors. Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) specifically has been shown to increase the likelihood of sexual offending, although less is known about its linkages to other forms of crime. Based on data from 2,520 incarcerated male juvenile offenders from a large southern state, hierarchical logistic regression models suggested that CSA increased the likelihood of later sexual offending nearly sixfold (467% increase). However, CSA was associated with an 83% reduced likelihood of homicide offending and 68% reduced likelihood of serious person/property offending. These findings suggest further support for the cycle of violence where CSA promotes sexual offending but novel findings regarding the linkages between CSA and other forms of crime.
暴力循环理论认为，早期遭受虐待会增加日后出现适应不良和反社会行为的可能性。具体而言，童年期性虐待（CSA）已被证明会增加性犯罪的可能性，尽管人们对其与其他犯罪形式的联系了解较少。基于来自美国南部一个大州的2520名被监禁的男性青少年罪犯的数据，分层逻辑回归模型表明，CSA使日后性犯罪的可能性增加了近六倍（增加了467%）。然而，CSA与杀人犯罪的可能性降低83%以及严重人身/财产犯罪的可能性降低68%有关。这些发现进一步支持了暴力循环理论，即CSA会促发性犯罪，但也有关于CSA与其他犯罪形式之间联系的新发现。
