“…Also, cultural differences with regard to sexuality and to sexual restraint, as well as cultural myths, might influence the prevalence of sexual abuse and/or the willingness of sexual abuse victims to disclose their experiences. The taboo around girls losing their virginity before marriage and the taboo on boys' homosexual experiences are examples found within Hispanic cultures (Stoltenborgh, van IJzendoorn, Euser, & Bakermans-Kranenburg, 2011). These reasons are also valid in the Indian context.…”

“…48 Incidence studies may underestimate the occurrence of child sexual abuse because only a small proportion of abuse cases may be reported to authorities. Moreover, incidence studies capture fewer child sexual abuse experiences than prevalence studies because the timeframe of incidence studies is more limited than the lifetime reports in prevalence studies (Stoltenborgh, van IJzendoorn, Euser, & Bakermans-Kranenburg, 2011).…”

“…Similarly, a global metal-analytic review of population-based studies of childhood sexual abuse has estimated cumulative prevalence rates for sexual abuse prior to age 18 as 18.0% for girls and 7.6 % for boys (Stoltenborgh et al 2011). This comprehensive metaanalysis combined prevalence figures of childhood sexual abuse reported in 217 publications published between 1980 and 2008, through self-reported as well as informant studies.…”

Proactive Strategies to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and the Use of Child Abuse Images: Experiences from the German Dunkelfeld Project

Women and Children as Victims and Offenders: Background, Prevention, Reintegration

The contribution describes a German prevention approach which aims at improving proactive strategies to protect children from sexual exploitation by online offenses, such as the consumption or distribution of child abuse images (so-called "child pornography"), and hands-on contact child sexual abuse. Prevention strategies include research on individuals at risk to commit first or persistent sexual offenses against children, at the same time offering preventive assessment and treatment. As it is acknowledged that many offenders against children remain undetected by legal authorities in the "Dunkelfeld" (literally "dark field") and are therefore not included in any official statistics, this program focuses on those who admit a longstanding sexual interest in prepubescent and/or early pubescent children, so-called pedophiles and hebephiles, self-motivated by the distress experienced due to their sexual preference (cf. www.dont-offend.org). It will be shown that these groups are reachable (given that they can rely on anonymity and the professional pledge of confidentiality) in order to improve the prevention of child sexual exploitation, because sexually deviant interests have been identified as a major risk factor for first or persistent sexual offending against children. Therefore, public health services have a real chance of encouraging the concerned persons to seek professional help before any kind of sexual offense against children is committed.

One-hundred-ninety-nine adult mental health service users were interviewed with a protocol that included the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Structured Clinical Interviews for Axis I and II DSM-IV disorders, the Global Assessment of Functioning scale, the SCORE family assessment measure, the Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule, and the Readiness for Psychotherapy Index. Compared to a U.S. normative sample, Irish clinical cases had higher levels of maltreatment. Cases with comorbid axis I and II disorders reported more child maltreatment than those with axis I disorders only. There was no association between types of CM and types of psychopathology. Current family adjustment and service needs (but not global functioning and motivation for psychotherapy) were correlated with a CM history. It was concluded that child maltreatment may contribute to the development of adult psychopathology, and higher levels of trauma are associated with co-morbid personality disorder, greater service needs and poorer family adjustment. A history of child maltreatment should routinely be determined when assessing adult mental health service users, especially those with personality disorders and where appropriate evidence-based psychotherapy which addresses childhood trauma should be offered.Child Maltreatment 3
