Harmful sexual behavior carried out by children and young people accounts for about half of all child sexual abuse perpetration. The aim of this study was to draw on the insights of young people who had been sexually abusive to enhance the current prevention agenda. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 14 young people and six treatment-providing workers. Sampling was purposive and the young people had previously completed a treatment program for harmful sexual behaviour in Victoria, Australia. The young people were approached as experts based on their previous experience of engaging in harmful sexual behavior. At the same time, their past abusive behavior was not condoned or minimised. Constructivist Grounded Theory was used to analyse the qualitative data. Opportunities for preventing harmful sexual behavior were the focus of the interviews with young people and workers. The research identified three opportunities for prevention, which involved acting on behalf of children and young people to: reform their sexuality education; redress their victimization experiences; and help their management of pornography. These opportunities could inform the design of initiatives to enhance the prevention agenda.
儿童和青少年的有害性行为约占所有儿童性虐待行为的一半。本研究旨在借鉴曾经有过性虐待行为的年轻人的见解，以加强当前的预防议程。研究采用了半结构化访谈的方式，对 14 名年轻人和 6 名提供治疗的工作人员进行了访谈。抽样是有目的的，这些年轻人之前在澳大利亚维多利亚州完成了一项有害性行为治疗计划。这些年轻人被视为专家，因为他们有过从事有害性行为的经历。同时，他们过去的虐待行为并没有被原谅或淡化。建构主义扎根理论被用来分析定性数据。年轻人和工作人员的访谈重点是预防有害性行为的机会。研究确定了三个预防机会，包括代表儿童和青少年：改革他们的性教育；纠正他们的受害经历；并帮助他们管理色情内容。这些机会可以为设计增强预防议程的举措提供信息。
