It is estimated that juvenile sexual offences constitute about 7% of the total annual rate of sexual offences in Spain. Nevertheless, research on Spanish juvenile sex offenders (JSO) is virtually non-existent. This paper analyzes the risk factors related to sexual violence committed by adolescents.
The participants were 73 adolescents (M = 15.68 years, SD = 1.12) aged between 14 and 18, who were serving a sentence for committing a sexual offence in various Spanish Autonomous Regions. In this descriptive study multiple methods were used to collect the data: court records, self-reports, along with an interview with the JSO and with the professionals involved.
Risk factors related to family history, certain personality characteristics, and the development of "inadequate sexualisation" (96% of cases) were analyzed. This latter variable was mainly related to an early onset of pornography consumption (70%), to a sexualized family environment (26%), and to sexual victimization during childhood (22%).
These results are consistent with international research on juvenile sex offending, so we can conclude that the process of development of sexualization from infancy onwards should be deeply examined with regard to sexual violence.
据估计,青少年性犯罪约占西班牙每年性犯罪总数的7%。然而,关于西班牙青少年性犯罪者(JSO)的研究几乎不存在。本文分析了与青少年性暴力相关的风险因素。
参与者为73名年龄在14至18岁之间的青少年(M = 15.68岁,SD = 1.12),他们在西班牙不同自治区因性犯罪而服刑。在这项描述性研究中,使用了多种方法收集数据:法庭记录、自我报告,以及对青少年性犯罪者和相关专业人员的访谈。
分析了与家族史、某些人格特征以及“性观念不当发展”(96%的案例)相关的风险因素。后一个变量主要与过早开始消费色情内容(70%)、性观念化的家庭环境(26%)以及童年时期的性侵害(22%)有关。
这些结果与国际上关于青少年性犯罪的研究一致,因此我们可以得出结论,就性暴力而言,应深入研究从婴儿期开始的性观念形成过程。
