Abstract

Background: Sexual violence with child perpetrators is a complex phenomenon with diverse backgrounds. Although children should be protected and guided in their growth and development, there are a number of factors that can trigger deviant behavior, such as sexual violence with child perpetrators. Objective: This study shows the importance of knowing the psychological characteristics of children as perpetrators of sexual violence from domestic and foreign journals so that it can be used as a learning process and to carry out prevention efforts and further assistance. Method: The Systematic Literature Review method was chosen to identify, assess, and synthesize the results of literature searches through the garuda portals, google scholar and scopus. Results: The characteristics of children as perpetrators of sexual violence when viewed from a psychological perspective are influenced by many interrelated and continuous factors. Conclusion: The characteristics of these children are slightly different from adult perpetrators, due to hormonal and psychological instability at their developmental stage, and the perpetrators are also in situations that do not support healthy emotional and moral development.
