Abstract：
Research suggests that individuals involved in the criminal justice system have higher rates of childhood trauma, including experiences of child sexual abuse (CSA). Studies also suggest that childhood victimization has an impact on the success of mental health treatment for offenders which may contribute to recidivism rates. Accordingly, policymakers and correctional staff can be better informed in choosing appropriate assessments and intervention approaches when they understand the ways in which prior experiences of CSA impact individuals in correctional settings. This special section highlights four novel studies that advance the research examining CSA in incarcerated populations.
摘要：
研究表明，参与刑事司法系统的个人儿童创伤发生率更高，包括儿童性虐待（CSA）的经历。研究还表明，儿童受害对罪犯的心理健康治疗的成功有影响，这可能会导致累犯率。因此，当决策者和惩教人员了解CSA的先前经验对惩教环境中个人的影响方式时，他们可以更好地了解选择适当的评估和干预方法。本节重点介绍了四项新颖的研究，这些研究促进了对被监禁人群中CSA的研究。
