Semelhante a outros resultados 23,24 , houve maior identificação de agressores do meio intrafamiliar e desconhecidos. A violência intrafamiliar contribui para a dificuldade da notificação e, consequentemente, uma efetiva investigação dos casos.…”

“…Estudos têm apresentado perfis semelhantes quanto às vítimas cuja maioria é do sexo feminino, com faixa etária predominante em menores de 13 anos, e cor de pele parda e preta. Em relação ao perfil do agressor, os mesmos estudos apontam preponderância para o padrasto e um deles destaca este agressor como usuário de álcool e outras drogas (6,21) .…”
