Youth who commit sexual offenses often have sexual victimization histories that occur in the family context. These victimization experiences can be exacerbated by other risks present in the family environment. This research study uses MANOVAs to explore how family environments including substance use, mental health, physical and emotional victimization experiences, attachment, and parenting styles differentiate subgroups of youth offenders including youth sexual offenders with ( n = 179) and without ( n = 176) sexual victimization histories, and nonsexual offenders without sexual victimization histories ( n = 150). Results reveal that youth sexual offenders with sexual victimization histories had greater risks in family environments relative to youth sexual and nonsexual offenders without sexual victimization histories. Treatment and research implications are discussed.
实施性犯罪的青少年往往有在家庭环境中遭受性侵害的历史。这些受害经历会因家庭环境中存在的其他风险而加剧。本研究使用多变量方差分析来探讨包括物质使用、心理健康、身体和情感受害经历、依恋以及养育方式在内的家庭环境如何区分青少年罪犯的亚组,这些亚组包括有性受害历史的青少年性罪犯(n = 179)和无性受害历史的青少年性罪犯(n = 176),以及无性受害历史的非性罪犯(n = 150)。结果显示,与无性受害历史的青少年性罪犯和非性罪犯相比,有性受害历史的青少年性罪犯在家庭环境中面临更大的风险。文中还讨论了治疗和研究方面的意义。
