Overview

Cohort study finds 31% of ICSOs report childhood sexual abuse, suggesting links to victim selection.

Key Points

  • Approximately 31% of ICSOs reported experiences of childhood sexual abuse, indicating a complex connection.
  • Among ICSOs exposed to CSA, 82% of those abused before age 11 targeted victims under age 11, highlighting a significant association.
  • A cohort analysis of 78 ICSOs from the Danish program examined patterns of self-reported CSA and offending behavior.
  • Findings emphasize the influence of early trauma on offending behaviors, supporting the need for targeted prevention strategies.
