“…Por otro lado, un hecho llamativo emerge al contrastar los resultados de esta dimensión con los estudios internacionales, debido a que las tasas de victimización encontradas en ambos grupos tienden a ser superiores a las reportadas en investigaciones realizadas en España, Estados Unidos y Canadá (Benedicto et al, 2017;Fanniff & Kolko, 2012;Leroux et al, 2016). De este modo, se refuerza la evidencia que indica una estrecha relación entre experiencias de esta naturaleza y posibles problemas de comportamiento sexual en edades posteriores (Barra et al, 2017;Boonmann et al, 2016;Dillard & Beaujolais, 2019;Malvaso et al, 2020;Tsang, 2017;Yoder & Precht, 2020).…”

“…En efecto, no son pocas las investigaciones que han descrito que las experiencias de abuso en la infancia (Dillard & Beaujolais, 2019;Seto & Lalumière, 2010) y la disfunción familiar (Dillard & Beaujolais, 2019;Gunby & Woodhams, 2010;Sitney & Kaufman, 2019;Yoder et al, 2017), como variables importantes en la etiología de las PAS, requieren de un mayor énfasis en los procesos de prevención y tratamiento. De hecho, en las principales guías de valoración de riesgo de reincidencia para adolescentes con PAS se ha manifestado que la disfunción familiar extrema, los cambios constantes de cuidador y el rechazo parental son indicadores de alto riesgo de reincidencia sexual, por lo que se rea-#rma la necesidad de establecer objetivos de trabajo en esta área (Miccio-Fonseca, 2006;Rich, 2017;Worling & Curwen, 2001).…”

Resumen (analítico) El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar las variables psicosociales y criminológicas asociadas a los adolescentes que desarrollan prácticas abusivas sexuales (PAS), en función de la edad de las víctimas. Mediante un diseño no experimental y transversal, con características descriptivas y correlacionales, se analizan antecedentes psicosociales y criminológicos de 232 adolescentes varones que han realizado PAS. Los resultados indican diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los adolescentes que cometen PAS contra víctimas menores, en contraste con quienes abusan de víctimas pares, tanto en las variables psicosociales (trayectoria escolar e historial de victimizaciones) como en las variables criminológicas (contexto de la práctica abusiva sexual y relación adolescente-víctima). Finalmente, se discuten los resultados en relación con la evidencia internacional y las implicaciones de la generación de conocimientos sobre la temática. Palabras clave: Ofensa sexual, víctima, adolescencia, comportamiento social, violencia

“…Administrators and school counselors see many of these children bring these experiences into schools; sometimes along with aggressive and violent behaviors. Dillard and Beaujolais (2019) found that the cycle of violence including “early sexual and physical victimization experiences are shown to be of etiological significance as pathways to adolescent engagement in sexually abusive behaviors” (p. 643). Forster et al (2020) discovered a connection between adolescents suffering from ACEs and school violence; such as, bringing or being threatened with a weapon on campus, bullying, fighting, or vandalism.…”

COVID-19’s Effect on Students: How School Counselors Rise to the Rescue

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought about many changes to our society, which will have long-term effects for our youth and adolescents. Due to social isolation and adverse childhood experiences, there are concerns of suicidality, technology addiction, and school safety as schools attempt to transition to a state of normalcy in the months to come. This crisis will require coordinated efforts to assist students in not only getting back on track academically but also in helping students cope with the trauma they have and are continuing to experience. As a result, insights from school counselors can be used to obtain a better understanding of the social and emotional effects of COVID-19 by collaborating with administrators to emphasize using school counselors as a mental health provider in schools. The authors highlight school counselors’ mental health training and their role in combating this issue and provide practical applications that can employed to create a systemic approach for social and emotional prevention and intervention during and after the pandemic.

“…Youth with sexual behavior problems are much more likely than youth without sexual behavior problems to have been victims of neglect and abuse themselves, often experiencing multiple forms of victimization and family violence [17,20,25,26]. Further, JSOs experience more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, parental separation/divorce, family member incarceration) than their non-JSO peers [27].…”

“…Further, JSOs experience more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, parental separation/divorce, family member incarceration) than their non‐JSO peers [27]. Studies have found that more than half of youth with sexual behavior problems have experienced polyvictimization [26], a higher rate than among non‐JSOs [25]. One study of British JSOs indicated that 66% of these youth had experienced at least one form of trauma or abuse (i.e., physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, severe neglect, parental rejection, family conflict, domestic violence, parent drug or alcohol use; [18]).…”

Juveniles referred for adjudicative competence evaluations make up a subset of youth involved in the juvenile justice system. Among those referred for adjudicative competence evaluations, a significant number involve youth with current or past charges for sexual offenses. This study examines the profiles of youth with sexual offense charges who have been referred for competence evaluations at a state psychiatric hospital for children and adolescents. Differences between the characteristics of youth with and without sexual offenses were explored, and predictors of competence opinions were examined among the subset of youth with current or prior sexual charges (juveniles with sexual offenses, or JSOs). Findings indicated that youth with sexual offenses have several demographic, cognitive, clinical, and legal differences from youth without sexual offenses. Although youth with sexual offenses were less likely to be opined competent, presence of a sexual offense was not a predictor of competence opinions after controlling for other factors. Predictors of competence among JSOs were found to be similar to those among youth referred for competence evaluations in general. Primary diagnosis of an autism-related disorder was a unique predictor of being opined not competent among the JSO subgroup, but not the overall sample.
