| Post subject: | Cycle of Abuse |
Cycle of Violence Children who are abused or neglected are more likely to become criminal offenders as adults. A National Institute of Justice study found "that childhood abuse increased the odds of future delinquency and adult criminality overall by 40 percent" (Widom, 1992). Child sexual abuse victims are also at risk of becoming ensnared in this cycle of violence. One expert estimates that forty percent of sexual abusers were sexually abused as children (Vanderbilt, 1992). In addition, victims of child sexual abuse are 27.7 times more likely to be arrested for prostitution as adults than non-victims. (Widom, 1995). Some victims become sexual abusers or prostitutes because they have a difficult time relating to others except on sexual terms. http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbName=DocumentViewer&DocumentID=32315 I haven't seen any threads addressing this issue. Thoughts anyone? |

When I was heavily involved with the drug culture almost all of the prostitutes I talked to had been raped before they became addicts. Many were raped after also. All had been arrested for prostitution at least once and for possesion of drugs. |

I can understand why it was felt best by both the defendant and the prosecutor in the Joel Price child pornography case to settle by a plea bargain rather than a trial. The outcome was probably similar, and a lot of time and money was saved by the State, and a great deal of grief for the guilty. An unintended consequence, however, is that we are left wondering what details a trial would have brought to light. Was Joel Price himself a victim of sexual child abuse? What had NTM done about it? How did Joel Price's addiction to child porn escape notice? A good defense attorney, to say nothing of a determined prosecutor, would have shed a lot of light in places where it rarely shines. A good chance to break the cycle of abuse was missed. |
