“…According to this model, individuals can have three different behavioral responses following trauma: self-victimization, abuse, or recovery and integration (Rasmussen, 2012). In the abuse response, the traumatized individual has difficulties with self-regulation and endorses cognitive distortions toward others, eventually leading the person to engage in abusive behavior toward others.…”

A high percentage of adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors have been found to have a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). The purpose of this review is to synthesize literature specific to adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors who have histories of CSA. This review will explore characteristics of this subset of adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors, risk factors, etiological theories that aim to explain the pathway from childhood sexual victimization to sexually abusive behavior in adolescence, and the clinical implications of this literature. Using Kiteley and Stogdon’s narrative review framework, findings from 66 peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2017 that included male adolescent participants with sexually abusive behaviors were integrated to inform the purpose of this review. The literature presented that different characteristics of CSA experiences, such as a younger age at the time of abuse and a longer period of abuse, were more prevalent among adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors. The CSA experiences of these adolescents could act as triggers for their sexual offenses, and the Trauma Outcome Process Assessment model addresses the importance of processing past trauma in treatment with adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors. This review concludes with clinical recommendations for how the reviewed literature could be applied within trauma-informed interventions with adolescents with sexually abusive behaviors with a history of CSA.

“…Trauma-informed care has been noted as an obligatory approach to increase evidence-based strategies for youth who commit sexual crimes (Rasmussen, 2013). Confronting trauma reminders in a comfortable and safe setting, while linking victimization to offending patterns, may lead youth to more adaptive and healthy coping strategies (Rasmussen, 2012). Furthermore, modifying malleable neurological zones through narrative processing may alter psychological responses (Perry, 2009).…”

Although research is becoming increasingly nuanced by exploring differential risk factors linked with types of youth offenders, typological distinctions have rarely been made between youth rapists and other serious youth offenders. This study tests the relative effects of intra- and extra-familial victimization-while holding other theoretically driven variables constant-on membership in three mutually exclusive youth offending groups: non-serious non-sexual offenders ( n = 4,013), serious non-sexual offenders ( n = 2,571), and rapists ( n = 489). Data were drawn from the Survey of Youth in Residential Placement (SYRP). Incarcerated youth ( N = 7,073) were surveyed on multiple constructs. Using appropriate weights in analyses, a multinomial logistic regression (referencing serious offenders) revealed youth who were victims of intra-familial physical abuse (22%) and intra-familial forced sex (42%) had a decreased risk of being in the non-serious offender category relative to the serious offender category. Furthermore, intra-familial emotional abuse (75%) and intra-familial forced sex (202%) demonstrated an increased risk of being in the rapist category relative to serious offender category. Although extra-familial victimization was statistically significant, victimization within the family had larger effects when predicting rape group membership. The research and practice implications are discussed.

“…Good Lives Model also recognizes the differences between adults and adolescents in terms of assessment models. It calls for a departure from a purely adult‐based frameworks and stipulates that adolescents require a different model (Miner ; Rasmussen ). Adolescents have a different role within families and their wider community (Rich ), and they experience great developmental changes (Calder et al .…”
