Perpetrators of child sexual abuse in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia: victimization by peers, family members and adult acquaintances
This study was conducted as a part of the BECAN project and the focus of this paper will be on presenting data about the perpetrators of sexual abuse against children and comparison of results obtained in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The samples in this study are nationally representative and include children aged 11, 13 and, 16 years from Bosnia and Herzegovina (n=2664) and in Croatia (n=3644). A modified version of ISPCAN child abuse screening tool-children's version was used with five items referring to child sexual abuse by various perpetrators. Children who reported experiencing some form of sexual abuse in the last year or earlier in life were asked to specify whether the perpetrator was an adult man, adult woman, child/adolescent male, or child/adolescent female and then if he/she was a stranger, a person they know, or someone who is related to them. Results showed that prevalence of sexual abuse in Croatia is 4.8%, 10.7%, and 16.5% depending on the age group, while in Bosnia and Herzegovina it amounts to 8.9%, 11.9%, and 26.8%. More detailed item analyses between countries regarding gender and age will be provided. Female participants from Croatia, regardless of their age, most often listed boys who they already knew as perpetrators of both contact and non-contact sexual abuse. Younger male participants most often listed adult men as perpetrators of non-contact sexual abuse but, as their age increased, most frequent perpetrators of sexual abuse became familiar girls. These data will be compared with those obtained in Bosnia and Herzegovina and will be discussed in the context of preventive activities.
