Female pedophiles cause children more harm June 14, 2011 by ParStrom

Women who abuse sexually in children cause their victims more injuries than men. It writes the Norwegian newspaper Bergens time. They cite four researchers at the Psychology Faculty at the University of Bergen, who has written an article about it in the Journal of Norsk Psychologist Association.

Women abuse is similar to those of male sex offenders, writes Bergen's time, but women's abuse often occurs in close relationships, and therefore entails greater harm to the children.

For victims, it is also particularly great shame associated with abuse of the right women, says Nystad Haugland, researchers at the University of Bergen. She says that research even indicates that violence carried out by women are sometimes reported as abuse carried out by men.

Inge Nordhaug at the "Regional ressurssenter if vold, trauma og sjølvmord Vest" leading the evolution of research on family violence, and violence against children as a specialty. "The research has often said that 80 percent of the abuse comes from men," he says, "but there is certainly a hidden here."

He says there are several reasons to believe that the proportion of female offenders is higher than 20 percent. Nordhaug says:

"There is a double taboo on women as perpetrators. Women are mothers, and often a primary person for children to bond with. "

He further says:

"The media is a female teacher who becomes pregnant by a 15-year-old boy described as a" tragedy ". But if a male teacher had done something similar, it will be spoken of as "grotesque".

Inge Nordhaug says that men more often described as demons, but that other feelings and words used when women are abusive. "They become 'victims', while the man is the 'perpetrator' - one who is guilty.
