“…These variables can be present within a person or within the environment. For instance a poor parent-child relationship is found to be a risk factor for experiencing child sexual abuse (Black, Heyman, & Smith Slep, 2001;Finkelhor & Baron, 1986). This troubled relationship may also, independent of the abuse, lead to other adverse outcomes in adulthood.…”

“…In a review of multiple studies examining risk factors for both intra-and extrafamilial child sexual abuse, Black, Heyman and Slep (2001) found evidence for risk factors in the aforementioned domains. Individuals who committed child sexual abuse were more likely to be male, unemployed, less educated and to come from outside the family.…”

A group of nine intrafamilial child molesters of daughters and stepdaughters from Canada and the United Kingdom were interviewed about their analysis of opportunities to sexually offend. Questions focused on the evaluation of immediate and life circumstances surrounding the offence, including how the offender defined, created and responded to opportunities for offending. An equally important goal was identifying strengths in resisting opportunities and coping with spoiled attempts. The interviews were transcribed and subjected to grounded theory analysis. Consistent with the rational choice theory of criminal behaviour the majority of offenders identified information and decision-making processes used to evaluate opportunities for offending. Themes related to offender and victim characteristics, as well as situational factors, are identified and discussed with respect to risk and protective factors. Offenders described positive relationships, greater social/community connectedness and successful employment as present in their lives when not offending. These elements are consistent with positive approaches to sexual offender treatment and management.

“…De la même manière, les antécédents d'abus sexuel chez la mère constituent dans bien des cas un facteur de vulnérabilité, qui expose ses enfants au risque d'être victimes de ce même type de mauvais traitement (Black et al, 2001;Collin-Vézina et Cyr, 2003) ou de maltraitance chronique de façon plus générale (Éthier et al, 2004). Cette présence d'un vécu de maltraitance dans l'enfance du parent, jumelée à des gestes de maltraitance de la part de ce même parent envers ses propres enfants, est appelée la transmission intergénérationnelle de la maltraitance.…”

Les antécédents de maltraitance chez un des parents sont un facteur de risque fortement associé à la présence contemporaine de maltraitance, en particulier chez la clientèle suivie par la protection de la jeunesse (PJ). Le manque de connaissance sur la qualité, la quantité et l’efficacité de l’intervention en PJ faite auprès des familles maltraitantes sur plus d’une génération est questionnant. Cette étude a pour but l’analyse de la perception des intervenants en PJ face à cette question. Ces derniers manifestent une impuissance certaine puisqu’ils doivent entreprendre auprès de ces parents une intervention intensive, stable et à long terme, dans un contexte où ils sont surchargés de dossiers, où la continuité des services est bafouée et où la relation de confiance est difficile à établir. Une réflexion est amorcée sur la possibilité de briser le cycle de la transmission intergénérationnelle, compte tenu du mandat législatif de l’intervention en PJ.
