Sex offending has typically been seen as a crime committed by males. Relatively little research exists on female sex offenders and even less on adolescent female sex offenders. While not all females who were sexually abused as children become perpetrators of sexual abuse, a significant number of female sex offenders have histories of being sexually abused. The purpose of this research study was to identify significant psychological characteristics and risk factors that contribute to a female adolescent victim of sexual abuse becoming a perpetrator of such abuse.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Sex offending has typically been seen as a crime committed by males. Relatively little research exists on female sex offenders and even less on adolescent female sex offenders. While not all females who were sexually abused as children become perpetrators of sexual abuse, a significant number of female sex offenders have histories of being sexually abused. The purpose of this research study was to identify significant psychological characteristics and risk factors that contribute to a female adolescent victim of sexual abuse becoming a perpetrator of such abuse.
520 $a The population researched for this study consisted of 90 adolescent females who were former residents at a Midwestern long term treatment facility. Only archival data were used for purposes of confidentiality. Along with demographic data, the study compared clinical syndromes, expressed concerns, and personality styles of female adolescent victims of sexual abuse (victims only; n = 48) and female adolescent victims of sexual abuse who had committed sexual offenses (victim/perpetrators; n = 42) using the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory. The two groups did not differ in regard to age, sex or ethnicity and were drawn at random from archival files, dating back up to eight years.
520 $a The victim/perpetrator subjects were more frequently sexually abused by family members (88% vs 50%) and by more than one perpetrator. This group also showed overall, significantly higher levels of self-loathing, were more anxious, depressed, suicidal, and prone to develop eating disorders. Consistent with these syndromal findings, this study found victim/perpetrators to be significantly more introversive and less egotistical and unruly. They also struggled more significantly with issues related to identity. The victims only group was found to be significantly more predisposed to delinquency, unruliness, and social insensitivity.
520 $a The findings of this study appear to indicate that the victims only group has less problems with identity issues and, consequently can more easily embrace the role of victim than the victim/perpetrators (who were more frequently offended by a family member). This clearer sense of identification as a victim appears to contribute to a stronger sense of entitlement as well as justification for their anger at being victimized. This, in turn, appears to contribute to significantly different presentations of externalizing phenomena between the two groups studied. The victims only group appears to act out in more aggressively delinquent (non-sexual) offenses such as battery, vandalism, and robbery, whereas the victim/perpetrators act out in more secretive, seductive, and sexual offenses. This study's findings support to some extent previous research with similar populations.
520 $a Profiles are discussed in greater detail and implications for treatment as well as future research are explored.
