contents Adverse Childhood Experiences: a study addressing the Perpetrators of sexual violence Maira de Maria Pires Ferraz Lília Iêda Chaves Cavalcante Milene Maria Xavier Veloso Psicología offenders sex offenders children and adolescents Adverse childhood experiences biopsychosocial characteristics This study aimed to describe the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) of perpetrators of sexual violence of children and adolescents and their relationship with the abusers’ personal and situational factors (n = 30). Hence, a database composed of the transcripts of interviews was analyzed using content analysis, from which thematic categories emerged as proposed by the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). Physical abuse was the most frequently reported (70%). Sexual abuse was reported by almost half of the sample, which presented an increased risk in the face of the death and/or divorce of parents (RR = 4.21) and emotional neglect (RR = 3.2). In addition, the participants with higher ACE-Scores abused children more recurrently and less frequently consumed alcohol or other drugs. The interpretation of the results in light of the literature reinforces the hypothesis that the consequences of adversities during childhood are associated with a higher likelihood of becoming a victim throughout life and manifesting risky behaviors, such as aggressive sexual behavior. Future studies are suggested to apply the ACE-IQ to larger samples and implement a post-test to contribute to more effective interventions to treat this population. 2023 artículo científico 1980-6906 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=193875582002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1938/193875582002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1938/193875582002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1938/193875582002/193875582002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1938/193875582002/movil https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPSP15116.en en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1938 Psicologia: Teoria e Prática application/pdf Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie Psicologia: Teoria e Prática (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.25
