Abstract

Traumatski događaji su izvan granica uobičajenog ljudskog iskustva te izazivaju različite simptome uznemirenosti kod gotovo svih ljudi. Ni djeca nisu pošteđena ovakvih događaja. Naime neke od najčešćih trauma sa kojima se djeca susreću jesu tjelesno, psihičko i seksualno zlostavljanje i zanemarivanje. Izloženost traumatskim događajima povezana je s posttraumatskim stresnim poremećajem i raznim drugim problemima u ponašanju. Zlostavljanje u ranom djetinjstvu narušava razvoj emocionalne samoregulacije, empatije i suosjećanja, pojma o sebi, mijenja se struktura mozga te se oštećuje središnji živčani sustav.
S vremenom, osobe s iskustvom rane traumatizacije imaju probleme teške depresije, agresivnog ponašanja, probleme s alkoholom i drogama, uključujući i nasilne zločine. Navedeni problemi često su prisutni u odrasloj dobi, pa je tako najviše počinitelja kaznenih djela imalo iskustvo ranog zlostavljanja i zanemarivanja. Istraživanja također pokazuju da su češći počinitelji kaznenih djela osobe ovisne o alkoholu i drogama, antisocijalne ličnosti te osobe s problemima depresije i anksioznosti.
Međutim, neće sva djeca s iskustvom rane traumatizacije imati navedene probleme. Zaštitni čimbenici povećavaju otpornost djeteta i na taj način pridonose smanjenju štetnih posljedica na djetetov kasniji život.

Abstract (english)

Traumatic events beyond the limits of normal human experience cause various symptoms of anxiety in almost all people. Even children are not spared from such events. Namely, one of the most common traumas that children face is physical, psychological and sexual abuse and neglect. Exposure to traumatic events is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and various other behavioral problems. Abuse in early childhood impairs the development of emotional self-regulation, empathy and compassion, the concept of self, changes the structure of the brain and damages the central nervous system.
Over time, people who experience early trauma have problems with severe depression, aggressive behavior, problems with alcohol and drugs, including violent crimes. The above-mentioned problems are often present in adulthood, so most perpetrators of criminal offenses had the experience of early abuse and neglect. Research also shows that people addicted to alcohol and drugs, antisocial personalities, and people with depression and anxiety problems are more frequent perpetrators of criminal acts.
However, not all children with the experience of early traumatization will have the above problems. Protective factors increase the child's resistance and thus contribute to the reduction of harmful consequences on the child's later life.
