Abstract

This study aimed to identify the magnitude of child victimization and polyvictimization in incarcerated individuals in northern Chile. A sample of 229 adults deprived of liberty in northern Chile was recruited. The results showed that incarcerated individuals presented significant percentages of child abuse and sexual victimization experiences (58.6% and 58.4%, respectively). In the analysis by sex, males suffer more frequently victimization by common crimes and peer victimization in their childhood. Sexual victimization was reported more frequently in females. The results reflect the high rates of child victimization and polyvictimization among the incarcerated population in northern Chile. The results can be useful in developing public policy for incarcerated individuals sensitive to their childhood victimization experiences and their mental health.

智利北部涉及司法的儿童受害和男女多重受害

本研究旨在确定智利北部被监禁者中儿童受害和多重受害的程度。在智利北部招募了229名被剥夺自由的成年人作为样本。结果显示，在押人员有儿童虐待和性侵害经历的比例显著(分别为58.6%和58.4%)。在性别分析中，男性在童年时期更容易遭受普通犯罪和同伴侵害。据报道，性侵害在女性中更为常见。结果反映了智利北部被监禁人口中儿童受害率和多重受害率很高。研究结果可用于为对其童年受害经历和心理健康敏感的被监禁者制定公共政策。
