Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Drawing from previous literature, it is clear that children exposed to physically and sexually abusive treatments during childhood are at risk for juvenile offending, substance abuse, and mental health problems which are chronic and life-long (Fergusson & Lynskey, 1997; Cohen, Deblinger, Mannarino, & Steer, 2004). In addition to juvenile offending, children who have been victimized are at risk for adult criminality. However, it is not clear whether sexual victimization is fundamentally different from other types of victimization and trauma. Using longitudinal data collected in the Northwest United States between 1980-1997, this paper will look to answer the following questions: Are children who have been sexually victimized more likely to commit violent crimes than those who have been exposed to physical abuse or neglect? Are children who have been sexually victimized by a family member more likely to engage in criminal behavior? The initial sample included 2,262 abused children reported to the Department of Health as dependent. Using logistic regression techniques, we found that individuals who have been sexually victimized are more likely to commit both juvenile delinquency and adult criminal acts.
