Abstract :
[en] A significant proportion of sexual delinquency being committed by juveniles, various fields of research have studied this topic. Still, little is known about the relation between the linguistic ability and the cognitive functioning of this specific youth. Rooted in scientific works which have explored indirectly the point, this poster attempt to question the quality of language as a mean to find out how their mentalization occurs, but also to question how their cognitive processes (e.g. empathy) influence their language. These hypothesis are to be tested soon with a clinical sample of 47 participants and with different measures (e.a. MACI, verbal IQ, IRI). Hence, the opportunity to evaluate, among others, empathy deficits and cognitive distortions through language can be considered a promising approach allowing new perspectives for prevention, assessment and treatment of juvenile sexual offenders.
