“…Childhood abuse experiences-Childhood sexual abuse frequently has longlasting deleterious effects on its victims, both male and female (Davis & Petretic-Jackson, 2000;Finkelhor, 1990;Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993). Common effects observed in sexually abused boys include preoccupation with their sexual identity and inappropriate attempts to reassert their masculinity through aggressive and antisocial behavior (Watkins & Bentovim, 1992;Wellman, 1993).…”

Approximately half of all sexual assaults are associated with either the perpetrator's alcohol consumption, the victim's alcohol consumption, or both. Although the emphasis of this review is on alcohol-involved sexual assaults, their unique aspects can only be evaluated by comparing them to other types of sexual assault. Theoretical perspectives on sexual assault that focus on characteristics of the perpetrator, the victim, and the situation are described. A number of personality traits, attitudes, and past experiences have been systematically linked to sexual assault perpetration, including beliefs about alcohol and heavy drinking. In contrast, only a few experiences have been significantly related to sexual assault victimization, including childhood sexual abuse and heavy drinking. There is support for both psychological and pharmacological mechanisms linking alcohol and sexual assault. Beliefs about alcohol's effects reinforce stereotypes about gender roles and can exacerbate their influence on perpetrators' actions. Alcohol's effects on cognitive and motor skills also contribute to sexual assault through their effects on perpetrators' and victims' ability to process and react to each other's verbal and nonverbal behavior. Limitations with existing research and methodological challenges associated with conducting research on this topic are described. Suggestions are made for future research which can inform prevention and treatment programs.

“…For example, exposure to sexual molestation during childhood has been theorized to impact individuals on an interpersonal (as well as intrapersonal) level, through the disruption of normal developmental processes among survivors (Cole & Putnam, 1992). Recent examinations of the literature suggest that CSA is indeed associated with increased difficulties across several domains of interpersonal functioning (Davis & Petretic-Jackson, 2000;DiLillo, in press). …”

“…Ancak çocukluk çağı cinsel istismarının erkeklerde cinsel tercihleri değiştirebilecek sonuçlara yol açabildiği de bilinmektedir. Lezbiyen kadınların çocukluk çağı cinsel istismar deneyimleme oranları genel toplumla aynı iken (Bradford et all., 1994;Davis & Petretic-Jackson, 2000;Robohm et all., 2003) gay erkeklerde bu oran toplum genelinden yaklaşık üç kat daha fazladır (Purcell et all., 2004). Öğretmenlerin cinsel istismar için erkek çocuklarının da özellikle uzun vadeli sonuçları açısından riskli grup içerisinde yer aldığını bilmeleri önem taşımaktadır.…”

Teachers who are in communication with the children along their professional life and could observe physical and behavioral changes have very important roles in determination of sexual abuse, legal and social process. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge of teachers about determination of child sexual abuse, legal and social process. The study was conducted with 331 voluntary teachers who work a city at Central Anatolia Region between September 2014 and February 2015. For statistical analysis; mean, percentage, chi-square tests were used. It is determined that the mean age of the teachers was 39.0±8.0; the most of them were men, married, worked at primary school first stage and as branch teacher. It is found that physical and sexual abuse were most known, while abuse symptoms and required approaches, first reporting office, punishment when not reporting, legal and social process were least known by the teachers. It is determined that teachers who are in the Guidance and Psychological Counseling (GPC) and have been previous educated, their knowledge on determination of child sexual abuse, legal and social process were significantly higher than the others. ÖzetProfesyonel yaşamları boyunca çocuklarla iletişim halinde olan, çocuktaki fiziksel ve davranışsal değişiklikleri gözlemleyebilen öğretmenler çocuk cinsel istismarının belirlenmesinde, adli ve sosyal süreçte önemli roller üstlenmektedir. Çalışma öğretmenlerin çocuk cinsel istismarının belirlenmesine, adli ve sosyal sürece ilişkin bilgilerini saptanmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Orta Anadolu'da bir şehirde çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 331 öğretmenle Eylül 2014 -Şubat 2015 tarihleri arasında veriler toplanmıştır. Değerlendirmede ortalama, sayı, yüzde, ki-kare testleri kullanılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin yaş ortalamalarının 39.0±8.0, çoğunluğunun erkek, evli, lisans mezunu olduğu, ilköğretim I. kademede, branş öğretmeni olarak çalıştığı belirlenmiştir. En fazla fiziksel ve cinsel istismarın bilindiği, çocuk cinsel istismarı konusunda eğitim alma, istismarla karşılaşma, istismar belirtileri ve yapılması gerekenler, ilk ihbar makamı, istismarı bildirmeme durumundaki cezalar, adli ve sosyal süreç konularında bilgi düzeyinin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. PDR branşında çalışma ve çocuk istismarına dair daha önce eğitim alma ile çocuk cinsel istismarını anlama, belirtilerini ve yapılması gerekenleri bilme arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.00).
