“…Ils ont observé de fortes associations entre les troubles de la personnalité, le névrosisme et l'antagonisme (faible agréabilité). De plus, comparativement à des groupes contrôles, les agresseurs sexuels présenteraient des niveaux plus élevés de névrosisme et des niveaux plus faibles d'extraversion et de propension à être consciencieux (Becerra-García et al, 2013 ;Dennison, Stough et Birgden, 2001 ;Randall, Carr, Dooley et Rooney, 2011). Certains chercheurs soulignent cependant que, comparativement aux agresseurs sexuels d'adultes, les agresseurs sexuels d'enfants présentent des degrés d'agréabilité et de propension à être consciencieux plus élevés et une ouverture à l'expérience plus faible (Carvalho et Nobre, 2013 ;Egan, Kavanagh et Blair, 2005), alors que d'autres (Becerra-García, García-León et Egan, 2012) n'indiquent aucune différence entre ces deux groupes.…”

“…De plus, au sein de la présente étude, un historique de victimisation est associé à un névrosisme élevé et à une extraversion et à une agréabilité faibles lors de l'évaluation. Cette constellation de traits a spécifiquement été associée à la perpétration d'agressions sexuelles (Becerra-García et al, 2012 ;Becerra-García et al, 2013 ;Carvalho et Nobre, 2013 ;Randall et al, 2011). Étant donné que la majorité des hommes ayant été victimisés dans l'enfance ne deviennent pas eux-mêmes agresseurs, ceux présentant également une constellation de traits de personnalité indé-sirables pourraient être particulièrement à risque.…”

Bien qu’il n’existe pas de typologie définitive des caractéristiques des agresseurs sexuels à l’égard d’enfants, la documentation scientifique révèle la présence de distorsions cognitives et de traits de personnalité impliqués dans l’étiologie et le maintien des comportements sexuels déviants. Ces facteurs étant également associés au risque de récidive, ils constituent des cibles de traitement de première importance. La présente étude a pour objectif d’examiner l’évolution des distorsions cognitives et des traits de personnalité d’hommes en traitement pour agressions sexuelles à l’égard d’enfants. L’échantillon est composé de 134 agresseurs sexuels intrafamiliaux, recrutés à leur entrée au Programme d’évaluation et de traitement des agressions sexuelles (PÉTAS). Ceux-ci sont évalués à trois reprises, soit à leur entrée au PÉTAS, ainsi qu’à la fin de la première et de la deuxième année de traitement. Les résultats montrent des diminutions significatives sur l’ensemble des distorsions cognitives de nature sexuelle, une diminution du névrosisme et une augmentation de l’extraversion entre les temps de mesure. Sur le plan individuel, des proportions importantes d’hommes présentent des améliorations sur la majorité des variables mesurées. Ces résultats soutiennent la malléabilité des distorsions cognitives et de certains traits de personnalité et appuient l’efficacité du PÉTAS.

“…When the personality characteristics of the sex offenders were studied, high neuroticism was found to be distinctive in that group of people compared to the other offenders and non-offenders. 6,29,30 This may be con-sidered as an important indicator of experiencing higher levels of negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness, guilt and anger in that specific group of people because high levels of neuroticism is associated with high levels of such negative emotions. 31 People who are highly neurotic were found to have dysfunctional coping mechanisms especially in their interpersonal relationships which in turn contribute to their negative reactivity when frustrated, so that they become more prone to anger and aggression.…”

Trauma can cause various psychiatric disorders and may also influence the child towards expressing his/her increasing anger in aggressive behaviors which may also lead to some criminal behaviors. That is why the relationship between traumatic experiences and anger expression styles was considered to be critical, especially in understanding criminal behavior.

Additionally, their anger control was found to be negatively and significantly correlated with physical and emotional abuse experience during childhood. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Offenders with high childhood trauma experiences tend to direct their anger to others and act aggressively. The effect of physical abuse comes forward when the relationships are analyzed deeply. The results of this study, parallel with the literature, thought to give some good insights for the intervention and prevention of the sexual offences and it is considered to be a starting point for the future studies what will be conducted in that context.
