Abstract

Ovaj pregledni rad za cilj ima opisati povezanost zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu i kriminalnog ponašanja u odrasloj dobi. Ta se povezanost razmatra s obzirom na pojedine vrste doživljenog zlostavljanja i spol žrtve odnosno počinitelja. Pregledom literature izdvojeno je 10 članaka koji su sustavno prikazani i analizirani s obzirom na cilj istraživanja, rezultate, uzorak i način njegova okupljanja, postupak prikupljanja podataka i instrumentarij. Analiza postojećih empirijskih istraživanja pokazuje povezanost vrste doživljenog zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu i vrste kriminalnog ponašanja u odrasloj dobi. Pokazalo se da fizički zlostavljana djeca koja kasnije počine kazneno djelo, to kazneno djelo je većinom nasilnog karaktera, a djeca s iskustvom seksualnog zlostavljanja čine češće seksualne delikte u odrasloj dobi. Čimbenik koji je povezan s ova dva fenomena je spol, a muškarci koji imaju iskustvo zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu češće počine kazneno djelo nego žene s istim iskustvom. Također su u radu identificirane praznine u literaturi, smjernice za buduća istraživanja te se raspravlja o implikacijama za praksu socijalnog rada, uključujući promjene u pristupu socijalnog rada, prevenciji i intervencijama.

Abstract (english)

This review paper aims to describe the connection between childhood abuse and criminal behavior in adulthood. This connection is examined in relation to the specific types of abuse experienced and the gender of the victim and the perpetrator. A review of the literature identified 10 articles, which are systematically presented and analyzed in terms of the research objectives, results, sample and its gathering method, data collection procedures, and instrumentation. The analysis of existing empirical studies shows a connection between the type of abuse experienced in childhood and the type of criminal behavior in adulthood. It was found that children who were physically abused and later committed a crime typically engage in violent criminal acts, while those who experienced sexual abuse are more likely to commit sexual offenses in adulthood. A factor associated with both phenomena is gender, with men who have experienced childhood abuse being more likely to commit crimes than women with similar experiences. The paper also identifies gaps in the literature, provides guidelines for future research, and discusses implications for social work practice, including changes in social work approaches, prevention, and interventions.
