Self-reported experiences with exposure and perpetration of problematic and harmful sexual behavior among youth receiving services in Norwegian Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinics

Much of the violence and abuse that children and adolescents experience are committed by other youth, with estimates ranging between 30-50%. Some evidence suggest that vulnerability and perpetration can be interrelated. Among children and adolescents receiving services at child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics, about 70 per cent have experienced potentially traumatic events. However, we know very little about the perpetation of violence and abuse in this group.
