Developmental victimology theory suggests that developmental features of risk and impact stemming from various types of victimization depend on the age of the child or adolescent.
A next step is studying the developmental victimization trajectories of individuals involved in sexual crimes by focusing on traumatic events occurring during childhood and adolescence respectively. Building on the developmental victimology perspective, the study's specific aims encompass two key objectives: 1) exploring the diverse trajectories of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) within a sample of individuals involved in sexual crimes, and 2) assessing whether these ACEs trajectories influence the emergence of distinct high-risk behaviors.
252 individuals convicted of sexual crimes were selected from a federal penitentiary in Quebec, Canada.
Semi-structured interviews with a computerized questionnaire produced data on numerous aspects of the participant's life history, criminal career, and victimization experiences that were analyzed via latent class modeling.
Four classes (no ACEs trajectory, poly exposure and victimization trajectory, childhood exposure trajectory, and poly victimization trajectory) were identified.
Consistent with hypotheses, developmental ACEs trajectories are heterogeneous and associated with the criminal careers, adolescent problematic behaviors, substance use disorders, and violence history among individuals involved in sexual offending.
发展受害学理论表明,源自各种类型受害的风险和影响的发展特征取决于儿童或青少年的年龄。
下一步是通过分别关注儿童和青少年时期发生的创伤事件,研究涉及性犯罪者的个体的发展性受害轨迹。本研究基于发展受害学视角,有两个主要目标:1)在涉及性犯罪者的样本中,探讨不良童年经历(ACEs)的不同轨迹;2)评估这些 ACE 轨迹是否会影响不同高风险行为的出现。
从加拿大魁北克省的一所联邦监狱中选择了 252 名被判犯有性犯罪的个人。
半结构化访谈和计算机化问卷产生了有关参与者生活史、犯罪生涯和受害经历的大量数据,这些数据通过潜在类别建模进行了分析。
确定了四个类别(无 ACE 轨迹、多暴露和受害轨迹、童年暴露轨迹和多受害轨迹)。
与假设一致,发展中的 ACE 轨迹是异质的,并与参与性犯罪者的犯罪生涯、青少年问题行为、物质使用障碍和暴力史有关。
