Adverse childhood experiences are associated with a wide range of behavioral, health, and psychiatric deficits and have recently been used to study the development of serious offending careers. Unfortunately, this research paradigm has largely ignored forensic populations. This study utilized the adverse childhood experiences framework to examine the associations between exposure to violence, victimization, and total adverse childhood experiences on sexual homicide using a sample of 616 incarcerated adult male sexual offenders from Canada 85 of whom committed sexual homicide. Epidemiological tables of odds revealed that a gradient of adverse childhood experiences was associated with sexual homicide, but that the most significant risks were for offenders who had the most extensive abuse histories. In adjusted models, exposure to violence, victimization, and total adverse childhood experiences increased the odds of sexual homicide by 334%, 249%, and 546%, respectively. These effects intensified in models adjusted for childhood enuresis, cruelty to animals, parental abandonment, deviant sexual behaviors, poor self-image, and sexual problems to 559%, 326%, and 849%, respectively. The adverse childhood experiences framework is a systematic way to organize the criminogenic developmental sequela in sexual homicide.
童年不良经历与一系列行为、健康和精神缺陷相关，最近被用于研究严重犯罪生涯的发展。不幸的是，这种研究范式在很大程度上忽略了法医群体。本研究利用童年不良经历框架，以来自加拿大的616名被监禁成年男性性犯罪者为样本，其中85人实施了性杀人，来检验暴力暴露、受害经历和童年不良经历总量与性杀人之间的关联。优势比流行病学表显示，童年不良经历梯度与性杀人有关，但最显著的风险是那些有最广泛虐待史的犯罪者。在调整模型中，暴力暴露、受害经历和童年不良经历总量使性杀人的几率分别增加了334%、249%和546%。在针对童年遗尿、虐待动物、父母遗弃、异常性行为、不良自我形象和性问题进行调整的模型中，这些影响分别强化到559%、326%和849%。童年不良经历框架是一种系统的方式，用于组织性杀人中犯罪成因的发展后果。
