TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Extrafamilial Child Sexual Abuse JO - Violence against women A1 - Bolen, Rebecca M. SP - 1137 EP - 1169 VL - 6 IS - 10 N2 - The purpose of this study was to determine (a) the ability of extrafamilial sexual abuse categorization schemes previously derived by qualitative methods to predict characteristics of the abuse in female children and (b) the prognostic ability of the emergent categorization scheme to predict differential risk of abuse based on age of the child. Three hundred sixty incidents of extrafamilial sexual abuse in Diana Russell's (1983) community prevalence study of female child sexual abuse comprised the sample. The findings of this analysis highlight the pervasiveness of the threat of extrafamilial child sexual abuse to female children.
