“…For example, a variety of terms are still employed in published works (see, for example, Hoghughi et al, 1997;Ryan & Lane, 1997;Erooga & Masson, 1999;Calder, 2002). In the current research study, the researchers found it necessary to explain on the front of the mapping questionnaire how the phrase 'children and young people who have sexually abused' was being used, in the hope of avoiding misunderstanding.…”

This article outlines the findings of a two-year research project 1 into policy, practice and service delivery across the UK and Republic of Ireland in respect of children and young people who have sexually abused others. The authors compare the emerging findings from their current research against the key recommendations arising from The Report of the Committee of Enquiry into Children and Young People who Sexually Abuse Other Children (NCH, 1992) which constituted, at that time, the most significant previous attempt to summarise the state of the field in the UK. The findings suggest that the adolescent sexual aggression field has progressed considerably in the decade since the publication of the earlier report, although uncertainties about some aspects of policy and service provision remain.Keywords Children and young people; Sexually problematic or abusive behaviour; Policy, procedures and practice.

“…Intelligence, social competence, cultural values, attachment bonds, personal victimisation, substance abuse, presence of conduct disorder, observation of sexual violence and use of pornography are considered to be significant factors affecting the likelihood of sexual offending (Weinrott 1996). Events such as being angry, drunk or sexually aroused have been identified; other factors have included poor parenting, lack of parental protection and distorted acquisition of the necessary competencies for normal sexual development (Hoghughi 1997). Isolation from extended kin, financial and psychological problems were also identified (Hiller & Goddard 1990).…”

Sexual Violence in Australia

Sexual violence, a term that covers a wide range of criminal behaviours, occurs with alarming frequency within the Australian population. Recent research suggests that 1.2 million adult women in Australia have experienced an incident of sexual violence since the age of 15. While there is presently no measure of the true incidence of sexual violence amongst the male population, recorded crime statistics indicate that males in the 10-14 year age group experience a rate of victimisation of 86 per 100,000 population. It is likely that the real figures are much higher. The impact of these crimes on the individuals concerned, their friends and families, and the community generally, cannot be overstated. This report will summarise what we know, and what we do not know, about sexual violence in Australia. It is well documented that sexual violence is a crime overwhelmingly perpetrated by males against females but within these two groups there is room for considerable variation. Factors such as age, race, physical or mental impairment, drug and alcohol use, occupation and prior experiences of victimisation are also relevant. As a result, sexual violence disproportionately affects certain groups within the Australian community. The effects of sexual violence on the individual (and their immediate social and family network) can be devastating and long-lasting. Victim/survivors may experience a combination of effects, including emotional, social, interpersonal, educational, vocational and financial repercussions. The Australian criminal justice system and governments have developed a range of programs and services to address the issue of sexual violence-both from the perspective of offending and victimisation. These responses will be considered in this report.

“…There is evidence that adolescents who offend sexually, particularly females and prepubescent males, appear to have greater developmental trauma and family dysfunction than their adult counterparts (Hunter & Becker, 1994). Further, research suggests that ASOs share more similarities with non sexual offending adolescents than differences (Hoghughi, Bhate, & Graham, 1997). This section reviews the reported characteristics of ASOs derived from Australian and overseas literature.…”
