Description
Limited research has investigated potential traits linked to commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) such as impulsivity or psychopathy. The current study explored whether psychopathic traits and impulsivity increased risk for commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) using data from 1,354 youthful male and female offenders, of whom 8% (N = 114) reported CSE. Results of binomial logistic regression indicated that psychopathic traits increase the risk for CSE while impulsivity does not. With each increase in youth psychopathy score, there was a 7% increase in the likelihood of CSE. These findings may inform prevention efforts aimed at youth at risk for involvement in CSE.
