Healthy People 2010 has prioritized sexual violence and child maltreatment (including sexual abuse) as important targets for prevention and intervention. In its Injury Agenda for 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that a major barrier to prevention efforts is the lack of information about the causes and correlates of child sexual abuse, especially in young perpetrators. This project is designed to address this gap by applying attachment theory to identify the unique and shared risk factors for child sexual abuse, sexual assault, and youth violence (one of the research objectives highlighted in RFA 04045). This objective will be accomplished through a multi-method, cross-sectional study of 300 adolescent males: those who have sexually abused children, those who have sexually assaulted peers or adults, and those who have committed other types of delinquent behavior (non-sexual). Data will be collected through a review of available records, semistructured and structured interview, and computer-administered questionnaire. The project is designed to identify the unique and shared risk factors for perpetrating child sexual abuse, sexual assault, and delinquent behavior by investigating perpetrator group differences in the following constructs : For Aim 1, (1) attitudes toward intimate relationships (attachment style) and (2) their involvement with peers, including consensual sexual experiences; for Aim 2, (3) attitudes toward masculinity, including beliefs about the importance of competition, violence, and face-saving as an indication of masculinity and confidence in their own masculinity and (4) beliefs about sexuality, selfreported sexual behavior (including paraphilias), and sexual interests and fantasies (including ivarious paraphilias). This collaboration between the Program in Human Sexuality, treatment programs for juvenile sex offenders, and juvenile probation departments will promote primary and secondary prevention through dissemination of project results in collaboration with Stop It Now, Minnesota, a primary prevention program (Aim 3).

2010年健康的人将性暴力和儿童虐待（包括性虐待）优先考虑预防和干预的重要目标。在2004年的伤害议程中，疾病控制和预防中心表明，预防努力的主要障碍是缺乏有关儿童性虐待的原因和相关性的信息，尤其是在年轻的肇事者中。该项目旨在通过应用依恋理论来确定儿童性虐待，性侵犯和青少年暴力的独特和共同风险因素（RFA 04045中突出的研究目标之一），旨在解决这一差距。这一目标将通过对300名青少年男性的多方法，横断面研究来实现：那些有性虐待的孩子，患有性侵犯的同伴或成人的人以及那些承诺其他类型的犯罪行为（非性行为）的人。数据将通过对可用记录，半结构化和结构化访谈以及计算机管理问卷的审查收集。该项目旨在通过调查以下结构中的犯罪者群体差异来确定犯下儿童性虐待，性侵犯和拖欠行为的独特和共同风险因素：对于目标1，（1）对亲密关系（依恋方式）和（2）与同伴的参与，包括共识经历的态度；对于目标2，（3）对男性气质的态度，包括对竞争，暴力和避免表面的重要性的信念，以表明对自己的男性气质的男性气质和信心，以及（4）对性的信念，自我报告 性行为（包括菌群）以及性利益和幻想（包括 ivious peraphilias）。该计划在人类性，治疗方面的合作 针对少年性犯罪者的计划，以及少年缓刑部门将通过传播项目结果与Stop IT合作，现在是一项初级预防计划（AIM 3），通过传播项目结果来促进初级和次要的预防。
