N. 12 (julho 2017) , p. 81-107Idioma: Português.Assunto: PSICOLOGIA | PSICOLOGIA DO COMPORTAMENTO | ABUSO SEXUAL | ABUSO DE MENORES | PEDOFILIA | VITIMIZAÇÃO | VITIMOLOGIA | VIOLÊNCIA SEXUAL | VIOLAÇÃO DE CRIANÇAS | DESENVOLVIMENTO INFANTIL | PORTUGAL Localização e Cota : PP461 Resumo: In recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of studies on sexual violence against children and adolescents, however, this was the last form of abuse to be studied. This article presents some results from these studies, in particular, concepts, epidemiology, and consequences. We also propose a reflection on the confusionbetween sexual assault and pedophilia, concluding that there is a consensus among the scientific community that not all sexual perpetrators of children and adolescents are pedophiles and not all pedophiles are sexual perpetrators. We conclude with some reflections on the new horizons of research and the status professionals are giving to violence against children and adolescents, by analyzing the proposal by Finkelhor (2007) on Developmental Victimology as a branch of victimology that focuses on juvenile victimization throughout the life cycle. Keywords: child sexual abuse, developmental victimology, juvenile victimization throughout the life cycle.
