ÖZET
 Amaç: Araştırmada, cinsel dokunulmazlığa ve mal varlığına karşı suçlar sebebiyle ceza infaz kurumunda bulunan erkek hükümlülerin; aleksitimi, empati ve çocukluk çağı travmatik yaşantı düzeylerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının ve çocukluk çağı travmalarının aleksitimi ve empati puanlarının etkilenip etkilenmediğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya, 18-71 yaş aralığında 156 cinsel dokunulmazlığa, 161 mal varlığına karşı suçlardan hükümlü olan toplam 317 erkek hükümlü gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Elde edilen veri, katılımcıların kişisel bilgi formu, A Aleksitimi Ölçeği, Temel Empati Ölçeği ve Çocukluk Çağı Ruhsal Travma Ölçeği'nden aldıkları puan üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, gruplar arası farkların hesaplanması amacıyla bağımsız örneklem t-testi kullanılmıştır. Ölçek puanları arasındaki ilişkiler, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada, cinsel suçlardan hüküm giymiş hükümlülerin, mal varlığına karşı suçlardan hüküm giymiş hükümlülerden daha fazla cinsel istismar yaşantısına maruz kaldıkları ve aleksitimik özellikler geliştirdikleri bulunmuştur. Bu 2 grup hükümlünün aleksitimi ve empati puanları ile çocukluk çağı travmaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu, fiziksel ve duygusal ihmalin aleksitimi puanlarını; duygusal ihmalin empati puanlarını yordadığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırmanın, literatürde hakkında kısıtlı sayıda çalışma yapılmış olan mal varlığına karşı suçlardan hükümlülerle çalışılmış olması, alanyazına önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, çocukluk çağında yaşanmış cinsel istismarın ve aleksitimik özelliklerin cinsel suç için risk faktörü olabileceği ve çalışmanın hükümlülere yönelik ceza infaz kurumlarında gerçekleştirilecek rehabilitasyon ve iyileştirme faaliyetlerinde önemli bir kaynak olacağı düşünülmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of the study was to examine whether the alexithymia, empathy and childhood traumatic experience levels of male convicts in the penitentiary institution due to crimes against sexual inviolability and property differ and whether childhood traumas affect alexithymia and empathy scores. Material and Methods: A total of 317 male convicts, 156 of whom were convicted of crimes against sexual inviolability and 161 of crimes against property between the ages of 18-71, voluntarily participated in the study. The data obtained were evaluated based on the scores obtained by the participants from the personal information form, the A Alexithymia Scale, the Basic Empathy Scale and the Childhood Psychological Trauma Scale. Within the scope of the research, the independent sample t-test was used to calculate the differences between the groups. Relationships between scale scores were examined by Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: In the study, it was found that convicts convicted of sexual crimes were exposed to sexual abuse more than those convicted of crimes against property and developed alexithymic characteristics. The alexithymia and empathy scores of these 2 groups of convicts and the alexithymia scores of physical and emotional neglect. Emotional neglect was found to predict empathy scores. Conclusion: It is thought that working with convicts of crimes against assets, about which a limited number of studies have been made in the research literature, will make an important contribution to the literature. In the light of the findings, it is thought that childhood sexual abuse and alexithymic characteristics may be risk factors for sexual crime and the study will be an important resource for rehabilitation and recovery activities to be carried out in penal institutions for convicts.
