“…Perhaps this is caused by the fact that we have not studied a clinical sample, which is often the case in other studies. Comparable to findings from other studies (Matthews, 1998;Sandler & Freeman, 2007;Vandiver, 2006) is that many of the women in our study suffered from mental disorders (such as depression or a borderline personality disorder) and that most offended against (their own) children. Also, many offended with a male co-offender, who was often their romantic partner.…”

“…Studies on female adolescent sexual offenders are limited. These group of offenders are mostly younger than 12 and they mostly have history of previous sexual abuse [16,17]. Similar to the literature, all of our cases were male and there were no female offenders in the presented series.…”

Objective: Child sexual offenders are a poorly studied and relatively neglected population in our country. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between criminal behavior and sociodemographic characteristics of a series of child sexual offenders. Materials and Methods:The records of social worker interviews with 48 child sexual offenders between 2009 and 2013 were used. The reports issued by social workers regarding child sexual offenders were retrospectively examined, since these reports were relatively the most thorough documents including offenders' personal and familial characteristics, and criminal event information. Cases were investigated in terms of socio-demographic and psycho-social characteristics.Results: There were 48 children interviewed based on an alleged sexual crime, during four-year of study period. All of the cases were male and their ages ranged between 12 and 17 years. Of these, 50% were students at any grade of school. Five cases were living in social service facilities. Only two cases involved incest. Of all, three offenders were accused of repeated sexual crimes. Type of sexual assault was anal penetration in 20 (41.7%) cases. Of all cases, 19 were cigarette smoker, while 4 were drug abusers. The families of 12 (25%) cases suffered from low socio-economic status, while 23 (47.9%) offenders were members of broken families. According to social worker reports, 47 cases had criminal responsibility based on their psychosocial development. Out of all cases, 7 children were suspected of suffering from impulse control disorder and one was suspected to be mentally retarded. Twelve cases were reported to need consulting and social protective services. Conclusion:The rate of offenders with interrupted education was considerably high. Interestingly the number of male victims and the frequency of cases involving anal penetration were high. Obtained results suggest that male children of broken and scattered families, and particularly those lacking father's supervision were more likely to commit a sexual crime.Keywords: Sexual crime, child sexual offender, broken family Öz Amaç: Cinsel saldırı sanıkları yeteri kadar tanımlanmayan ve rapor edilmeyen bir konudur. Biz bu çalışma ile çocukluk çağı cinsel istismarcılarının sosyodemografik özellikleri ile suç ilişkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem:Sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının 2009-2013 yılla-rında 48 olgu ile yaptıkları görüşmeler sonrasında düzenledikleri raporlar retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışma için bu raporların tercih edilmesinin nedeni ise sanıkların bireysel, ailevi özellik-lerini ve suç ile ilgili bilgileri içeriyor olmasıdır. Olguların sosyodemografik ve psikososyal özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Dört yıllık sürede cinsel suç işlediği iddiası ile görüşme yapılan olgu sayısının 48 olduğu belirlendi. Sanıkların yaşları 12 ile 17 arasında ve hepsi erkek cinsiyetinde idi. Olguların %50'si eğitimine devam etmediği saptandı. Olguların sadece 2'sinde ensest öyküsü vardı. Sanıkların 3'ünde suç tekrarı olduğu belirlen...

“…Les recherches ont également établi que les complices masculins des codélinquantes sont majoritairement leur conjoint (Allenby, Taylor, Cossette et Fortin, 2012 ;Saradjian, 1996) et que les enfants du couple sont leurs principales victimes. À l'inverse, les délinquantes solitaires agresseraient plutôt des connaissances (Saradjian, 1996 ;Vandiver, 2006).…”

Si les connaissances relatives aux délinquantes sexuelles se sont développées au cours des dernières décennies, les codélinquantes sexuelles ont été peu étudiées, alors que ces femmes représentent une part importante des délinquantes sexuelles. Le but de la présente étude était de mettre en lumière les trajectoires de vie des femmes qui agressent en compagnie de leur conjoint. Dix-sept entretiens avec des femmes incarcérées en France pour des faits de codélinquance sexuelle ont été menés et analysés selon l’approche de la théorisation ancrée. Notre recherche indique que les codélinquantes présentent majoritairement un historique de vie abusif et des difficultés émotionnelles, relationnelles et sociales importantes. Ces facteurs de vulnérabilité ont été acquis au cours de leur enfance et à l’âge adulte à travers leurs expériences sentimentales négatives et abusives, les mettant dans une position à risque d’agresser sexuellement.
