The Risky Behaviours of the Adolescents Exposed to Sexual Revictimization and One-Time Sexual Abuse

A Retrospective Study: According to Online News, the Victims, Perpetrators and Characteristics of Sexual Abuse at Schools

“…As a result, SA incidents taking place in school and committed by teachers must be addressed from an educational point of view considering that children spend most of their times at schools after their families, SA may cause many psychological and social problems related to school (e.g., school phobia, school leaving) (Blakemore, Herbert, Arney, & Parkinson, 2017;Burgess et al, 2010;Celik et al, 2012;Kocturk & Bilge, 2018) and school counseling services are important for detecting and preventing SA. As there is a limited number of studies in the literature, characteristics of SA taking place in the school environment, as well as victims and abusive teachers are not known for sure, it is not possible to reach out to victims for study for ethical and other reasons, SA incidents at schools can be learned from the news (Celik et al, 2012) and the Turkish society uses the Internet and television most as a source of learning the news (Olkun, 2017), this study aims to examine news about SA taking place in the school environment published at news websites and to determine the nature of SA incidents, as well as individual characteristics of perpetrators and victims.…”
