Män njuter av att våldta!

Executive summary
This project aimed to inform efforts to better detect and prevent child sexual abuse through a rigorous
analysis of the prevalence and attitudinal, behavioural and demographic correlates of sexual feelings and/or
offending against children amongst Australian men. The research measured the prevalence of offending and
risk behaviours and attitudes amongst of a weighted sample of 1,945 Australian men over 18 years of age.

Key findings of the project

Around one in six (15.1%) Australian men reports
sexual feelings towards children. Approximately
one third of this group reports sexually offending
against children.

Around one in ten (9.4%) Australian men has
sexually offended against children. Approximately
half of this group (4.9%) reports sexual feelings
towards children.

In total, almost one in five (19.6%) Australian
men in the study have sexual feelings for children
and/or have sexually offended against children.

The 4.9% of men with sexual feelings who have
sexually offended against children differed from
men with no sexual feelings or offending against
children on a number of measures:

Relationships

Ź They were more likely to be married and
reported higher levels of social support.

Employment and wealth

Ź They were almost three times more likely
to be working with children.

Ź They were more likely to earn a higher income.

Health and wellbeing

Ź They were more likely to report mild, moderate
or severe anxiety and depression.

Ź They were over four times more likely to report
weekly binge drinking.

Childhood abuse and neglect

Ź They reported approximately twice the rate
of adverse childhood experiences.

Ź They were over six times more likely to report
being sexually abused as children.

Attitudes to child sexual abuse

Ź They were more than 25 times more likely to hold
attitudes conducive to online child sex offending.

Online behaviour

Ź They were more likely to use the internet more
frequently and intensively.

Ź They were much more active on social media.

Ź They were significantly more likely to use
encrypted apps and privacy services.

Ź They were twice as likely to own cryptocurrency
and over five times more likely to use
cryptocurrency for online purchasing.

Pornography consumption

Ź They were over eleven times more likely to watch
violent pornography and over twenty six times
more likely to watch bestiality pornography.


Ź They were over sixteen times more likely to
purchase sexual content online.

29.6% of those with sexual feelings towards
children want help; this is 4.5% of Australian men.
These men were more likely to have sexually
offended against children online and offline than
men with sexual feelings who did not want help.

"Vad gäller serievåldtäktsmän så står de troligtvis för minst 80 procent av alla våldtäkter. Vissa internationella studier antyder att de kan utföra 87 procent av våldtäkterna."

"Jag läser gärna några studier på det. Gärna också att du klipper ut de partier som stödjer ditt antagande. Är ditt antagande i samband med FNs rapport om att 700+ miljoner kvinnor utsätts för sexuellt våld (exklusive sexuella trakasserier) minst en gång under sin livstid?"
