Abstract

This study examines the correlations between grooming behaviors within juvenile correctional facilities and their impact on psychological distress among incarcerated youth, including a comparison between sexual minority (N = 648) and heterosexual (N = 4,690) subsamples. Using the National Survey of Youth in Custody-3 (BJS, 2018), the analysis finds that various grooming behaviors - including receiving photos or letters from staff, staff sharing personal details, staff providing contraband, staff giving gifts, staff offering special protection, staff inappropriately discussing sex topics, and youth giving letters or photos to staff - are significantly correlated with varying levels of distress. Further, receiving a special gift from a staff member and being offered special protection from staff both had significantly greater effects on the correlation with distress for the heterosexual subsample; however, staff sharing emotional feelings and juveniles giving photos or letters to staff had significantly greater impacts on the correlation with distress for the sexual minority subsample.

监禁期间的诱骗受害和心理困扰：性少数群体和异性恋青年的比较。

本研究通过比较性少数群体（N = 648）和异性恋群体（N = 4690）的亚样本，探讨了少管所内梳理行为与其对在押青少年心理困扰的影响之间的相关性。使用全国青少年被拘留调查-3 (BJS, 2018)，分析发现各种梳理行为-包括接收工作人员的照片或信件，工作人员分享个人详细信息，工作人员提供违禁品，工作人员赠送礼物，工作人员提供特殊保护，工作人员不恰当地讨论性话题，以及青少年向工作人员提供信件或照片-与不同程度的痛苦显着相关。此外，在异性恋子样本中，收到工作人员的特殊礼物和受到工作人员的特殊保护对痛苦的相关影响显著更大；然而，在性少数子样本中，工作人员分享情感和青少年给工作人员照片或信件对痛苦的相关性有显著更大的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
