In this study, data on sexual victimization in the histories of 89 Canadian male runaways as well as information on physical victimization, family structure, family financial stability, delinquent and criminal activities, and reasons for running away from home were evaluated. The population of male runaways evidenced dramatically higher rates of sexual and physical abuse than did randomly sampled populations. Sexually abused and nonsexually abused male runaways shared characteristics noted in the literature as common to runaways: problem families, high rates of delinquency, depression, tension, low self-image, and history of physical abuse. Sexually abused male runaways differed from nonsexually abused runaways in their reactions to their runaway event, with sexually abused male runaways responding in highly avoidant patterns coupled with extreme withdrawal from all types of interpersonal relationships. These differences are explained as consistent with known sequelae of sexual abuse, and the implications for treatment by runaway shelters and for further research are suggested.
在本研究中，对89名加拿大男性离家出走者经历中的性侵害数据，以及身体侵害、家庭结构、家庭经济稳定性、违法犯罪活动和离家出走原因等信息进行了评估。与随机抽样人群相比，男性离家出走者中性侵害和身体虐待的发生率显著更高。遭受性虐待和未遭受性虐待的男性离家出走者具有文献中所指出的离家出走者的共同特征：问题家庭、高违法犯罪率、抑郁、紧张、低自尊以及身体虐待史。遭受性虐待的男性离家出走者与未遭受性虐待的离家出走者在对离家出走事件的反应上有所不同，遭受性虐待的男性离家出走者以高度回避的模式做出反应，同时极度退出所有类型的人际关系。这些差异被解释为与已知的性虐待后遗症一致，并提出了对离家出走者收容所治疗的启示以及进一步研究的方向。
