“…The fact that about 40% of the adolescent offenders reported that they exhibited sexually aggressive behavior for the first time following their admission to their current institution underlines the need to implement prevention policies in institutional care to prevent adolescent residents engaging in sexual aggressive behavior (Allroggen et al, 2016).…”

Adolescents in institutionalized care are at a particularly high risk of exhibiting sexually aggressive behavior including sexual harassment. So far, however, studies about the prevalence of sexually aggressive behavior in institutions are lacking. In this survey, 322 adolescents (43% female, average age 16.7 years) from 32 residential care facilities and boarding schools across Germany were asked about sexually aggressive behavior via a standardized questionnaire. Overall, 23.5% of the participants engaged in some form of sexually aggressive behavior in their lives, and 4.6% reported having committed a sexual assault with (actual or attempted) penetration. A closer look at the circumstances of those offenses shows that the victims were in most cases acquainted with and of the same age as the offenders, that threats and violence were used in some cases, and especially in the case of actual or attempted penetration, and that only a minority of offenders suffered any consequences for their acts. The implementation of protective measures for institutions and the treatment of adolescents in institutions will be discussed.

“…This is unsurprising given that the search was limited to publications written in English. In addition, the remainder had mainly been conducted in Minority World countries, namely, Sweden ( 6), Australia (4), Spain (4), Canada (3), Ireland (3), Netherlands ( 3), New Zealand (3), Norway (3) and Italy (2). The search also yielded single studies from Chile, Finland, Estonia, Germany, Ghana, Iran, Kenia, Serbia, South Africa and South Korea.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how children have been involved in research activities in recent international child protection research and what kinds of ethical and methodological decisions are made by researchers regarding children’s participation. Design/methodology/approach In the paper, the complexity of children’s participation in research activities is analysed through an integrative literature review. Findings Children’s right to self-determination and the right to make informed decisions were the most challenging ethical principles to implement in practice. The study shows that researchers usually decide on the research design, and child welfare professionals and parents assess the eligibility of the children as research subjects. Originality/value More ethical reflection and critical discussion on the rights that adults, both parents and professionals, have in deciding the involvement of children in research activities is required.
