PART WEBINAR | Sexual Re-offense Trajectories with Youth in the Child Welfare System

Offert en anglais

This study sought to determine whether the persistence of problematic sexualized behaviors (PSBs) committed by boys in the Massachusetts child welfare system would lend support to previous taxonomies categorizing general offenders as early-onset/life course-persistent, adolescence-onset/adolescence-limited, or childhood-limited in their offending behavior. We examined the persistence of PSBs in a male sample (N = 638; age range: two to 17), using a retrospective longitudinal archival design. Results supported the hypothesis that youths who first exhibited PSBs in early childhood would produce higher sexual reoffense rates during each of three follow-up windows (i.e., three years, five years, and seven years) than youths who first exhibited such behaviors in middle childhood, or preadolescence/adolescence. Abuse reactivity, coping ability, and vulnerability to iatrogenic intervention effects are considered as some of many possible contributing factors. Strategies for reducing the likelihood of reoffending are explored.

PRESENTER: Dr. Laura Grossi is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PhD program in clinical psychology (forensic track). Laura’s research to date has primarily explored physical and sexual aggression, forensic assessment, and predictors of feigning/malingering. She is currently a predoctoral intern at Eastern Virginia Medical School and Eastern State Hospital.
