Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmada Bolu ilinde meydana gelen ve Ağır Ceza Mahkemesi’nde yargılaması yapılarak karara bağlanan cinsel saldırı - istismar olgularının analizi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: 2007-2016 yılları arasında Bolu Ağır Ceza Mahkemesi’nde karara bağlanmış toplam 148 cinsel saldırı-istismar olgusu retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 148 olgunun 131’i (%88,5) kadın, 17’si (%11,5) erkektir. Ortalama yaş 18,6±11,6’dır (min:4, max:83). En fazla olgu %35,2 (n=52) oranı ile 13-15 yaş grubundaydı. Cinsel saldırı-istismar eyleminin en sık vajinal penetrasyon (n:72, %48,6) şeklinde gerçekleşmişti. En sık tespit edilen psikiyatrik hastalık akut stres bozukluğu (n:12, %10,8) ve travma sonrası stres bozukluğuydu (n:12, %10,8). Fiziksel şiddetin, olay sonrasında ruhsal bozukluk oluşmasında istatistiksel olarak etkili (p=0,008) olduğu bulundu. Saldırganların %81,8’i mağdur tarafından tanınıyordu.
Sonuç: Ülke genelinde yapılacak daha geniş çaplı araştırmalar ile ülkemizdeki cinsel saldırı-istismar risk faktörlerinin tespit edilerek, ulusal düzeyde daha etkili cinsel saldırı-istismar önleme stratejilerinin geliştirilebileceğini düşünüyoruz.

A Retrospective Study on Sexual Assault - Abuse Cases

Abstract

Objective: In this study; it is aimed to analyze the sexual attack-abuse cases that occurred in Bolu province and were judged by the High Criminal Court.
Methods: A total of 148 cases of sexual assault - abuse decided by the Bolu High Criminal Court between 2007 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: This study included 148 cases: 131 (88.5%) cases were female and 17 (11.5%) were male. The mean age was 18.6 ± 11.6 (min:4, max:83). The highest number of cases was in the 13-15 age group (n=52, 35.2%). Sexual abuse most frequently occurred through vaginal penetration (n=72: 48.6%). The most common psychiatric diagnosis was acute stress disorder (n:12, 10.8%) and post-traumatic stress disorder (n:12, 10.8%). Physical violence was found to be statistically effective (p = 0.008) in the occurrence of mental disorders after the event. The victim recognized 81.8% of the attacker.
Conclusion: We think that more effective sexual attack-abuse prevention strategies can be developed at the national level by determining the risk factors of sexual assault-abuse in our country through wider research to be conducted across the country.
