Popis: Victims of child sexual abuse (CSA) are often hypothesized to be at an increased risk for general criminal offending, and sexual offending specifically. However, the empirical evidence for this hypothesis remains mixed. The present study will use a criminal career approach to the study of offending behaviour over time in victims of CSA and individuals who were not a victim of CSA. The sample consists of 1525 juveniles convicted for sexual offence followed up well into early adulthood using official registration data. The data allow for a long-term comparison of offending behaviour of juvenile sex offenders and the impact of CSA on the offending behaviour over time. In addition, the influence of various characteristics on the criminal career development was also studied.
