Among youth who commit sexual crimes, childhood trauma experiences have been linked to a host of outcomes including trauma symptom expression. Furthermore, research has begun assessing differential rates of cumulative adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) between youth who commit sexual and non-sexual crimes. Yet, few studies have comparatively examined rates of cumulative traumatic events using more robust measures of adversity. There is scant research on outcomes associated cumulative trauma among youth who commit sexual crimes including linkages to trauma symptoms and how positive parenting styles (PCSs) can attenuate in this relationship. This study aims to compare cumulative trauma experiences between youth who commit sexual (n = 112) and non-sexual crimes (n = 224). Among youth who commit sexual crimes, we test how PCSs mitigate or moderate the effects of cumulative trauma on trauma symptoms. Results from independent samples t-tests revealed significant group differences on singular and cumulative traumatic experiences, and trauma symptomatology, where youth who commit sexual crimes had higher rates of all. Stepwise linear regressions revealed mitigating effects of maternal PCSs and tests of moderation revealed main and interaction effects, where intermediate positive maternal caregiving styles for youth with higher cumulative trauma were associated with greater trauma symptomatology. Implications and limitations are discussed.

积极的照料方式可减轻性犯罪青少年累积创伤的影响。

在实施性犯罪的青少年中，童年创伤经历与包括创伤症状表现在内的一系列结果相关联。此外，研究已经开始评估实施性犯罪和非性犯罪的青少年累积不良童年经历 (ACE) 的差异率。然而，很少有研究使用更有力的逆境措施来比较检查累积创伤事件的发生率。关于实施性犯罪的青少年的累积创伤相关结果的研究很少，包括与创伤症状的联系以及积极的养育方式 (PCS) 如何在这种关系中减弱。本研究旨在比较实施性犯罪（n = 112）和非性犯罪（n = 224）的青少年的累积创伤经历。在实施性犯罪的青少年中，我们测试 PCS 如何减轻或缓和累积创伤对创伤症状的影响。独立样本 t 检验的结果显示，在单一和累积的创伤经历以及创伤症状学方面存在显着的群体差异，其中实施性犯罪的青年在所有方面的发生率更高。逐步线性回归揭示了产妇 PCS 的缓解作用，适度检验揭示了主要效应和相互作用效应，其中对于具有较高累积创伤的青少年，中间积极的产妇照料方式与较大的创伤症状相关。讨论了影响和局限性。实施性犯罪的青年发生率更高。逐步线性回归揭示了产妇 PCS 的缓解作用，适度检验揭示了主要效应和相互作用效应，其中对于具有较高累积创伤的青少年，中间积极的产妇照料方式与较大的创伤症状相关。讨论了影响和局限性。实施性犯罪的青年发生率更高。逐步线性回归揭示了产妇 PCS 的缓解作用，适度检验揭示了主要效应和相互作用效应，其中对于具有较高累积创伤的青少年，中间积极的产妇照料方式与较大的创伤症状相关。讨论了影响和局限性。
