“…For McElroy et al 39 , the knowledge of the types and prevalence of mental disorders in sexual aggressors is important for several reasons. Firstly, a better understanding of the relationship between mental disorder and sexual violence can enable the development of more effective legal, correctional and public health policies, directed to individuals who have committed sexual offences.…”

Background: Sexual violence is a serious public health problem that concerns and faces our society. The prevalence, magnitude and consequences of this problem have merited growing attention by health researchers and human rights scholars. Objective: To conduct a review of the literature regarding the relationship between mental disorders, sexual offences and those of development. Methods: A bibliographic research was performed in PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Lilacs, employing the terms "sexual crime", "sexual offence", "mental disorder", "mental retardation", "developmental disability" and its combinations. Results: The mental disorders and developmental disorders more frequently related to the perpetration of sexual offences were schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and mental retardation. Discussion: The detection and treatment of psychiatric morbidity among sexual offenders in health and criminal justice systems, which may contribute to a lower risk of recidivism of this sexual behaviour, is important.

“…A study by McElroy et al [23] showed that the most common psychiatric problem was drug addiction (83%) followed by paraphilia (58%), impulse control disorders (39%), anxiety disorders (36%), mood disorders (22%), and eating disorders (17%). In this population, alcohol and substance abuse rates vary between 6-72%, which is reported to be ineffective on sexual crime behavior because of wide range of involvement [1,10].…”

Objective: Child sexual offenders are a poorly studied and relatively neglected population in our country. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between criminal behavior and sociodemographic characteristics of a series of child sexual offenders. Materials and Methods:The records of social worker interviews with 48 child sexual offenders between 2009 and 2013 were used. The reports issued by social workers regarding child sexual offenders were retrospectively examined, since these reports were relatively the most thorough documents including offenders' personal and familial characteristics, and criminal event information. Cases were investigated in terms of socio-demographic and psycho-social characteristics.Results: There were 48 children interviewed based on an alleged sexual crime, during four-year of study period. All of the cases were male and their ages ranged between 12 and 17 years. Of these, 50% were students at any grade of school. Five cases were living in social service facilities. Only two cases involved incest. Of all, three offenders were accused of repeated sexual crimes. Type of sexual assault was anal penetration in 20 (41.7%) cases. Of all cases, 19 were cigarette smoker, while 4 were drug abusers. The families of 12 (25%) cases suffered from low socio-economic status, while 23 (47.9%) offenders were members of broken families. According to social worker reports, 47 cases had criminal responsibility based on their psychosocial development. Out of all cases, 7 children were suspected of suffering from impulse control disorder and one was suspected to be mentally retarded. Twelve cases were reported to need consulting and social protective services. Conclusion:The rate of offenders with interrupted education was considerably high. Interestingly the number of male victims and the frequency of cases involving anal penetration were high. Obtained results suggest that male children of broken and scattered families, and particularly those lacking father's supervision were more likely to commit a sexual crime.Keywords: Sexual crime, child sexual offender, broken family Öz Amaç: Cinsel saldırı sanıkları yeteri kadar tanımlanmayan ve rapor edilmeyen bir konudur. Biz bu çalışma ile çocukluk çağı cinsel istismarcılarının sosyodemografik özellikleri ile suç ilişkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem:Sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının 2009-2013 yılla-rında 48 olgu ile yaptıkları görüşmeler sonrasında düzenledikleri raporlar retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışma için bu raporların tercih edilmesinin nedeni ise sanıkların bireysel, ailevi özellik-lerini ve suç ile ilgili bilgileri içeriyor olmasıdır. Olguların sosyodemografik ve psikososyal özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Dört yıllık sürede cinsel suç işlediği iddiası ile görüşme yapılan olgu sayısının 48 olduğu belirlendi. Sanıkların yaşları 12 ile 17 arasında ve hepsi erkek cinsiyetinde idi. Olguların %50'si eğitimine devam etmediği saptandı. Olguların sadece 2'sinde ensest öyküsü vardı. Sanıkların 3'ünde suç tekrarı olduğu belirlen...

palavras-chavePedofilia, transtorno bipolar, dependência de heroína, transtornos relacionados ao uso de álcool. resumoDiversos estudos investigaram a relação entre psicopatologia e parafilias, especialmente pedofilia. Transtornos de humor e ansiedade, seguidos de transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias, são as comorbidades mais prevalentes em pacientes com parafilias. Apresentou-se o caso de um paciente em tratamento para dependência de substâncias (álcool e heroína), transtorno bipolar e pedofilia. É importante frisar que poucos casos relatando comorbidades como essas foram descritos na literatura. introDução Diversos estudos investigaram a relação entre psicopatologia e parafilias, especialmente pedofilia 1,2 , e alguns sugerem que agressores sexuais possuem déficits em processos cognitivos e que esses são sintomas fundamentais de grave psicopatologia e transtornos de personalidade 1 . Transtornos de humor, especialmente distimia, são os mais prevalentes em comorbidade com parafilias, seguidos de transtornos de ansiedade e transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias 2,3 .Esses achados sugerem que indivíduos com parafilias manifestam grave psicopatologia e desvios sexuais. Em um estudo realizado em 1999, Raymond descreveu que 93% de um grupo de agressores pedófilos preenchiam critérios para algum diagnóstico do eixo I, além de pedofilia durante o curso de suas vidas 4 . Transtornos de humor e ansiedade foram novamente os achados mais comuns naquela população. Cinquenta e um por cento preenchiam critérios para dependência de álcool e 44% para transtornos relacionados ao uso de outras substâncias. Esses achados
