Sexual Abuse in the Native American Population<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1786, the United States established its first Native American reservation and approached each tribe as an independent nation. This policy has remained intact for over one hundred years.\u00a0 Since the establishment of the reservations, State laws have been restricted to State territory.\u00a0 If there is a charge of sexual child abuse on a reservation, the State law enforcement cannot intervene.<\/p>\n

Child sexual abuse is defined as an adult’s use of a minor to satisfy sexual needs. Child sexual abuse is defined as a crime within State law. \u00a0However, on Native American reservations, tribes create definitions within their own tribal codes to satisfy their community and law enforcement standards. \u00a0It is also illegal for state authorities to enforce state laws on reservations.\u00a0 Most cases of child sexual abuse develop gradually over time, and the offender is known to the child in 90 percent of cases (Miller-Perrin & Perrin, 2007). \u00a0According to the CDC defines obese kids as students who were greater than the 95th percentile for body mass index, based on sex-and-age specific reference data from the 2000 CDC growth charts (CDC.gov).<\/p>\n

The results were 109 students that were identified for this survey (CDC.gov). \u00a0The confidence intervals for males these children were 1.5 to 13.9.\u00a0 These stats are not representative of the population.\u00a0 Mainly, this group is underrepresented because of the barriers to the reservations<\/p>\n

The Deindividuation on Reservations<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

There are many theories that can be applied to this social issue.\u00a0 Here, Social Learning and Deindividuation are explored.\u00a0 Social Learning is a progressive advancement from classical and operant conditioning.\u00a0 Social Learning theorizes that human behavior is \u201cbased on learning from watching others in the social environment. \u00a0On the reservations females and males alike learn than the sexual violation of little girls has a small risk value (Rousseau, 2022).\u00a0 Violators of children cannot be punished by state law enforcement officers.\u00a0 Reservation authorities are not usually contacted when a child sexual abuse occurs.\u00a0 Watching children being sexually abused without punishment, encourages others to repeat the same behavior (Bartol & Bartol, 2021, p. 106). \u00a0Deindividuation is the encouragement by others that a person is not present.\u00a0 Their anonymity can lead a factor of their victimization.\u00a0 A sexual predator can lose their identity and becomes part of the violating pack.\u00a0 This feeling generates a “loss of self-awareness, reduces concern over evaluations from others, and a narrowed focus of attention” (Baron & Byrne, 1977, as cited in Bartol & Bartol, 2021, p. 120).\u00a0\u00a0 When combined, these process may lead to the high rate of sex crime against children on the reservations.<\/p>\n
