Slowly progress is being made in the area of female perpetrated sexual abuse. We have just added the piece below to the Bibliography:
Purpose: Research suggests female child sex offenders perpetrate up to 20% of child sexual assaults in the United States, with data suggesting up to 63% of female, and as many as 27% of male, child sexual abuse survivors report having been victimized by a female. Studies suggest females (who account for up to 20% of child sexual offenses, but only 1% of those imprisoned) could be moving through our child protective and legal systems differently than males. An examination of national child welfare trends centered on perpetrator gender may provide additional insight into this issue. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gender on the way primary perpetrators of child sexual abuse (CSA) are identified, assessed, assisted, and ultimately move from the child welfare system to the legal system.
