Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress and Sexual Concerns: The Intermediary Effects of Executive Functioning on Profiles of Youth Who Have Sexually Harmed

There are demonstrated links in the general population between developmental adversity, associated trauma symptoms, and executive functioning difficulties in children and youth. However, research on links among these indicators and their relationship to antisocial behavior more broadly in samples of youth who have sexually harmed is only beginning to emerge. Some research indicates that intermediary factors like sexual concerns may be critical in understanding this population. This study explored relationships between trauma symptoms, sexual concerns, executive functioning, and their relationship to non-sexual delinquency in a sample of 196 youth who committed sexual harm. Structural equation modeling revealed numerous direct and indirect effects on the path to delinquency and that executive functioning plays a key role among those with serious sexual concerns. The results are contextualized and implications are discussed.

Las estadísticas de criminalidad sexual en España: una propuesta de caracterización

La violencia sexual contra mujeres y niñas es una de las formas más brutales de violencia de género y, al mismo tiempo, un delito largamente silenciado. La disponibilidad de estadísticas periódicas, rigurosas y confiables es un requisito para monitorizar cualquier fenómeno de interés público y, en el caso de la violencia sexual, un requerimiento ineludible para diseñar políticas e intervenciones orientadas a su prevención, intervención y reparación. Este artículo quiere ser una contribución por las víctimas de cualquier forma de violencia sexual y, en particular, una reflexión política de denuncia ante la injustificada falta de calidad de fuentes cuantitativas para el estudio de este suceso en España. En la primera parte, identificamos los organismos responsables de producir y difundir estadísticas de criminalidad sexual, proponiéndose una primera evaluación de las principales fuentes disponibles que implicaría problematizar sobre el sub-registro estadístico de esta tipología penal y examinar las deficiencias técnicas que presentan los datos publicados. En la segunda parte, presentamos una compilación de las series sobre delincuencia sexual extraídas de los distintos Anuarios Estadísticos publicados por el Ministerio del Interior desde 1987, advirtiendo su escasa capacidad para un estudio cuantitativo riguroso de las violencias sexuales.Sexual violence against women and girls is one of the most brutal forms of gender violence and, at the same time, a long-silenced crime. The availability of periodic, rigorous and reliable statistics is a requirement to monitor any phenomenon of public interest and, in the case of sexual violence, an unavoidable requirement to design policies and interventions aimed at prevention, eradication, intervention and reparation. This article wants to be a contribution to the struggle of women victims of any form of sexual violence and, in particular, a political reflection of denunciation against the unjustified shortage of quantitative sources and the inexplicable low quality of the data for the study of this event in Spain. In the first part, we identify the agencies responsible for producing and disseminating sexual crime statistics, making a succinct evaluation of the main sources available. In the second part, we present a compilation of the series on sexual delinquency extracted from the different Statistical Yearbooks published by the Ministry of the Interior since 1987, noting its low capacity for a rigorous quantitative study of sexual violence.

Sexuelle Gewalt unter altersgleichen Kindern und Jugendlichen

In recent years, sexual delinquency has received increased public and academic interest. With regard to sexual offences against children and adolescents, the main focus has been on sexual violence inflicted on minors by adults. So far there have been few reliable findings on sexual assaults on minors inflicted by someone of the same age. This meta-analysis addresses this problem and examines the question of which international empirical findings on the prevalence of sexual violence among peers are available. Further, the study examines which factors determine the prevalence and which methodological influences exist on the risks of victimisation. Furthermore, the study focuses on the risk and protective factors involved in experiencing sexual violence inflicted by a person of the same age.
