ABSTRACT

There is a lack of exploratory data describing the offences and violent acts of young people with harmful sexual behaviour problems. Such research is necessary to provide realistic insight into the nature of this group and their behaviours; and to help to illustrate and inform practice with them. This study involved a thematic analysis of 111 case files of young men with sexual behaviour problems to analyse their violent actions. Seven violence-related themes were identified in the data. There was evidence that harmful sexual behaviours could sometimes last for considerable amounts of time before services intervened. As well as harmful sexual behaviours, services need to assess whether self-directed and more general forms of violence need to be targeted.

摘要

缺乏描述具有有害性行为问题的年轻人的犯罪和暴力行为的探索性数据。此类研究对于提供对该群体的性质及其行为的现实洞察是必要的；并帮助说明和告知他们的实践。这项研究涉及对 111 个有性行为问题的年轻男性案件档案进行专题分析，以分析他们的暴力行为。数据中确定了七个与暴力相关的主题。有证据表明，在服务介入之前，有害的性行为有时会持续相当长的时间。除了有害的性行为，服务机构还需要评估是否需要针对自我导向的和更普遍的暴力形式。
