“…Finally, the current study not only takes into consideration the principal methodological recommendations of Fortune and Lambie (2006), but also analyses recidivism and participation in treatment in terms of two types of typologies, victim age (children, peers or adults, mixed) and victim relationship (intrafamilial, extra familial, intra/extra familial). The validity of those subtypes has been supported by some studies (Kemper and Kistner, 2007;Latzman et al, 2011;Joyal et al, 2016;Leroux et al, 2016;Krause et al, 2020;Martijn et al, 2020). This is the first published study aiming to measure the effect of this unique treatment offered in Quebec (Canada) on reducing the recidivism rates of ASOs.…”

“…Among ASO, assault of a stranger victim is generally associated with a higher risk of sexual recidivism (Worling and Långström, 2006;McCann and Lussier, 2008). A recent meta-analysis comparing extra familial and intrafamilial ASOs found higher scores on antisociality indicators among the first group, suggesting a more general pattern of criminality (generalist theory; Martijn et al, 2020). The only reported study to analyses the effect of treatment of ASO on recidivism as a function of victim relationship was that of Latzman et al (2011;N = 166), who used the Estimate of Risk of Adolescent Sexual Offense Recidivism (ERASOR; Worling and Curwen, 2001) and the Youth Level of Service Case Management Inventory (YLS-CMI; Hoge et al, 2002) to measure the risk of recidivism in intrafamilial and extra familial ASO.…”

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral treatment in reducing recidivism by adolescents who have sexually offended (ASO). A secondary objective was to determine whether typologies based on victim age (child, adult/peer, mixed) and relationship (intrafamilial, extra familial, intra/extra familial) discriminate ASO in terms of response to treatment and recidivism. The sample comprised 327 adolescents 12–18 years old (M = 15.8 years, SD = 1.9) who were evaluated in an outpatient clinic after committing a contact sexual assault. Official data on recidivism (criminal charges) was collected after a follow-up period of 21–162 months (M = 7.8 years, SD = 32.2). Survival analysis indicated that adolescents who completed treatment (n = 62) had a recidivism rate for violence (including sexual violence) almost half that of adolescents who had either not completed the treatment or not received treatment (n = 261), (16.1 vs. 30.7%). Neither of the two typologies studied had any effect on the completion of treatment. However, sexual aggression against adults/peers was associated with an increased probability of violent re-offending. These results confirm the effectiveness of this cognitive-behavioral treatment —which targets risk factors associated with sexual aggression as well as those associated with violence in general—in ASO.

“…In order to keep a clear focus on intrafamilial abuse, studies reporting on both intra-and extrafamilial victims were excluded. An exception to the latter criterium was made for the meta-analysis by Martijn et al (2020) which includes some articles dealing with offenders who abused both intrafamilial and extrafamilial victims.…”

The environment of intrafamilial offenders – A systematic review of dynamics in incestuous families

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study was to identify family characteristics and dynamics relevant to the initiation and maintenance of intrafamilial child sexual abuse. An understanding of essential characteristics of the affected families could help to prevent such crimes. In order to provide an overview of the current state of research, a literature review based on the PRISMA criteria was conducted. For the research in the databases PsycInfo and PSYNDEX, predetermined criteria and search terms were used. Fifteen relevant articles from 1991 to 2020 were identified. The studies examined perpetrator-victim relationships, the role of the mother, the relationship between the parents and characteristics of the families in which child sexual abuse took place. Relevant core characteristics of incestuous families are dysfunctional, violent, and conflictual relationships between the parents, and between parents and children. However, these factors are often not specific to intrafamilial abuse. Only six articles published after 2000 were identified. Little evidence for each individual construct was found, so the effects should not be overestimated. Further research on intrafamilial child sexual abuse is necessary.

“…Spezifisch für kriminalprognostische Begutachtungen im Familienrecht empfehlen Graf et al (2018) aber, bei der Risikoeinschätzung die familiäre Situation zu betrachten und "ergänzende Erwägungen durch Fachkräfte des Jugendamtes oder familienrechtspsychologische Sachverständige" einzubeziehen. Dies steht im Einklang mit den Arbeiten von Seto und Kollegen (Kresanov et al 2018;Martijn et al 2020;Paquette et al 2022;, die die Frage aufwerfen, inwieweit familiendynamische Aspekte bei der Risikoeinschätzung innerfamiliärer Missbrauchshandlungen stärker miteinbezogen werden könnten, da innerfamiliärer sexueller Missbrauch noch nicht ausreichend verstanden ist ("The puzzle of incest"; .…”

ZusammenfassungIn der psychologisch-psychiatrischen Begutachtungspraxis mehren sich Anfragen von Familiengerichten, die um eine kriminalprognostisch-sexualwissenschaftliche Begutachtung eines Elternteils oder neuen Partners bitten. Hintergrund dieser Aufträge sind entweder Vorstrafen oder laufende Ermittlungen wegen Sexualdelikten oder Hinweise auf paraphile Interessen der Probanden. Wenngleich in vielen Fällen bereits familienpsychologische Sachverständige im Verfahren zu Fragen der Erziehungsfähigkeit und/oder einer etwaigen Kindeswohlgefährdung beauftragt wurden, lehnen diese die Beantwortung derartiger sexualforensischer Risikoeinschätzungen mit dem Verweis auf eine fehlende Kompetenz oft ab. Es besteht große Verunsicherung aufseiten beauftragender Gerichte, des Jugendhilfesystems, aber auch Sachverständiger bezüglich der Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines diagnostischen Vorgehens und des Zusammenwirkens unterschiedlicher Gutachtenbereiche. Der vorliegende Beitrag liefert einen theoretischen Hintergrund, einen Sachstandsbericht aus der Praxis und diskutiert unterschiedliche Zuständigkeiten bei derartigen Fragestellungen sowie ein praktikables Vorgehen.
