“…In particular, the significant priming effect of violent picture was found in both participants with HA and MA, but not in LA. This result was in line with previous researches, which showed that the moderately aggressive and highly aggressive boys differed from the nonaggressive boys on attributional biases, and that severely aggressive displayed more social-cognitive dysfunctions than moderately and lowly aggressive boys (Bushman, 1995;Anderson, 1997;Lochman & Dodge, 1994;Widom, 1989;Virkkunen, Kallio, & Rawlings, 1994;Anderson, Anderson, Dill, & Deuser, 1998;Craig, Browne, Beech, & Stringer, 2006). Moreover, the result was in agreement with prior researches, and were also correspondent with the expected hypotheses, which assumed that individuals with HA had higher aggression than others (Bushman, 1996).…”

The purpose of the study was to examine the priming effect of exposure to violent pictures on implicit aggression in a sample of 94 Chinese college students, and to verify the validity of General Aggression Model (GAM) and Cognitive New-association Model (CNM). Violent and nonviolent pictures, as well as aggressive and nonaggressive words, were used as primes to explore the relationship between violent stimuli and implicit aggression of college students by employing modified Go-Nogo task. The results suggested that the priming effect of exposure to violent pictures on participants was obvious, and that brief exposure to violent pictures increased implicit aggression. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) found that interaction between stimuli type (violent vs. nonviolent) and target word (aggressive vs. nonaggressive) was significant, implying that violent stimuli primed implicit aggression among college students. Further simple effect analysis showed that implicit aggression was significantly primed by violent stimuli for participants with high aggressiveness (HA) and moderate aggressiveness (MA), but not for participants with low aggressiveness (LA). This result should be cautiously explained that only implicit aggression of college students with HA and MA was significantly primed by violent stimuli.

“…Two major factors on which delinquents may be differentiated are the type and the severity of the offence they are charged with. In previous research, violent offenders had significantly more chaotic lifestyles and displayed greater psychopathology than sex or general offenders (Craig, Browne, Beech, & Springer, 2006). It seems likely that that a person who has committed a violent crime like aggravated battery or manslaughter could be dissimilar from persons charged with property offences or offences against morality in terms of personality dimensions such as neuroticism, lack of remorse, or impulsivity.…”

In a representative sample of 142 incarcerated Dutch male juveniles, normal personality dimensions were assessed with the Big Five Inventory and pathological personality dimensions with the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology -Basic Questionnaire for Adolescents. Participants' criminal charges were derived from TULPYouth, an official Dutch judicial registration system. Charges were categorized (against morality/against life/violent/violent with property/ property) and were assigned a signal value representing their severity. Personality dimensions appear not to be related to offence type or severity. Other factors are suggested to be of greater importance, like the trajectory of criminal development and a possible neuro-maturational gap, causing sensitivity to juvenile delinquency at a certain age. Recommendations for further research are presented.

“…É consenso que os portadores de pedofilia podem manter seus desejos em segredo durante toda a vida sem nunca compartilhá-los ou torná-los atos reais; podem casar-se com mulheres que já tenham filhos ou atuar em profissões que os mantenham com fácil acesso a crianças, mas raramente causam algum mal [20][21][22] . Por outro lado, os molestadores de crianças, em sua maioria, apresentam motivações variadas para os seus crimes, que raramente têm origem em transtornos formais da preferência sexual 18,19,[23][24][25][26][27] . Acredita-se que a passagem da fantasia para a ação no caso dos pedófilos ocorre com maior frequência quando o indivíduo é exposto a estresse intenso, situações nas quais haja grande pressão psíquica, como discussão conjugal importante, demissão, aposentadoria compulsória etc.…”

“…Os abusadores caracterizam-se principalmente por atitudes mais sutis e discretas no abuso sexual, geralmente se utilizando de carícias, visto que em muitas situações a vítima não se vê violentada. Já os molestadores são mais invasivos, menos discretos e geralmente consumam o ato sexual contra a criança [20][21][22][23]25 . Há, ainda, autores que classificam os pedófilos baseados na preferência de gênero -homossexual, heterossexual ou bissexual -, enquanto outros preferem diferenciá-los por faixa etária -adolescentes, de meiaidade ou idosos 27 .…”

ResumoContexto: A prática de abuso sexual contra crianças é um fenômeno universal. Ela ocorre em todos os tempos e lugares e atinge todas as classes socioeconômicas. Enquanto a maioria dos estudos investiga as vítimas, os poucos estudos sobre agressores se concentram principalmente em dados demográficos. Objetivo: Apresentar revisão da literatura quanto à classificação de molestadores sexuais de crianças, de acordo com o perfil psicológico e comportamental. Métodos: Revisão da literatura e discussão do material utilizado. Resultados: Apresentação das principais classificações dos criminosos sexuais contra crianças, identificando as tipologias mais utilizadas com suas possíveis contribuições à psiquiatria e à psicologia forense. Conclusão: A utilização do perfil psicológico em crimes sexuais é de fundamental relevância no contexto médico-legal, mas ainda carece de bases científicas mais sólidas. Serafim AP, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2009;36(3):105-11Palavras-chave: Abuso sexual, perfil psicológico, violência sexual, ciências forenses. AbstractBackground: Sexual violence against children is a universal problem, occurring since ever, everywhere and regardless the socio-economic status. Whist most studies have been dedicated to the victim of such crime, there is little information regarding their perpetrators, which is largely limited to the description of demographic data. Objective: Review the literature regarding children sexual aggressors according to psychological and behavioral profile. Methods: Literature review and discussion. Results: Presentation of the major classifications of offenders, pointing out the most widely used ones and the implications to forensic psychiatry and psychology. Conclusion: The psychological and behavioral profile use is very important for medico-legal practice, but still needs better scientific validation.

Differences in personality and risk characteristics in sex, violent and general offenders

Abstract: The results from this study support the use of self-report inventories in assessing differences between offender groups. Such information may assist clinicians in prioritizing management and intervention strategies for those offenders, and in turn lower the risk of further offending.
