Abstract(s)
O abuso sexual infantil é uma problemática com repercussões psicológicas, físicas e sociais significativas. Existem diferenças importantes entre os abusos que ocorrem em contextos intrafamiliares e extrafamiliares, refletindo variações nas dinâmicas, nos padrões de comportamento dos abusadores e nas consequências para as vítimas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar as características específicas do abuso sexual intrafamiliar e
extrafamiliar no contexto português, considerando práticas abusivas, duração e frequência dos abusos, perfil das vítimas e estratégias utilizadas pelos abusadores. Adicionalmente, procurouse examinar as consequências psicológicas de curto prazo para as vítimas em cada tipo de contexto (intrafamiliar vs. extrafamiliar). Para este fim, foram analisados processos e acórdãos judiciais dos tribunais de Lisboa e Almada, resultando numa amostra total de 206 casos. Os resultados evidenciaram maior gravidade nas práticas abusivas em contexto intrafamiliar, associadas também a uma maior frequência de episódios de abuso. Foi ainda observada uma variação nas estratégias de aliciamento e segredo utilizadas pelos abusadores, com diferenças
significativas nas consequências psicológicas apresentadas pelas vítimas de acordo com o tipo de contexto de abuso. Em suma, o estudo identificou características distintas do abuso sexual infantil em contextos intrafamiliares e extrafamiliares, sublinhando a importância de intervenções direcionadas às especificidades de cada contexto para o apoio e proteção das vítimas.
Child sexual abuse is a critical issue with significant psychological, physical, and social repercussions. Key differences exist between abuse occurring in intrafamilial and extrafamilial contexts, reflecting variations in dynamics, abuser behavioural patterns, and victim outcomes. This study aimed to explore the specific characteristics of intrafamilial and extrafamilial child sexual abuse within the Portuguese context, examining abusive practices, abuse duration and frequency, victim profiles, and strategies employed by abusers. Additionally, it sought to assess the short-term psychological consequences for victims in each type of context (intrafamilial vs. extrafamilial). To achieve this, judicial cases and rulings from the Lisbon and Almada courts were analyzed, yielding a total sample of 206 cases. Results indicated greater severity in abusive practices within intrafamilial contexts, also associated with a higher frequency of abuse episodes. Variations were observed in grooming and secrecy strategies employed by abusers, with significant differences in the psychological consequences experienced by victims depending on the abuse context. In summary, the study identified distinct characteristics of child sexual abuse within intrafamilial and extrafamilial contexts, underscoring the importance of interventions tailored to the specificities of each context to better support and protect victims
