  • Title: Sexual abuse victimization and psychological distress among adolescent offenders.
    Author: Phan DL, Kingree JB.
    Journal: J Child Sex Abus; 2001; 10(4):81-90. PubMed ID: 16221628.
    Abstract:
    This study focused on sexual abuse victimization and psychological distress among 272 adolescent offenders. The respondents were interviewed while they were being detained in a short-term holding facility. Female respondents reported more sexual abuse victimization and psychological distress than did their male counterparts. Furthermore, church attendance moderated the association between sexual abuse victimization and psychological distress among the male respondents. Implications of these findings for research and interventions with adolescent offenders are discussed.
