Abstract
The current study aimed at exploring the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, selfblaming and criminogenic cognitions in university students. For this purpose, a cross sectional research strategy was used to assess the prevalence of adverse childhood experience, self-blaming and criminogenic cognitions in university students. Data was collected from 200 university students using convenient sampling. Descriptive statistics were used for demographic findings and linear regression analyses were performed to determine the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACE), self-blaming and criminogenic cognition. The findings show that there is a negative correlation among the variables that are adverse childhood experience (ACEs), SelfBlaming (SB) and Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (CCS). It means that there is less likelihood that adverse childhood experience and self-blaming can cause criminogenic cognitions in students. However, there was a significance that was found with a subscale failure to accept responsibility (FAR) of Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (CCS) with regard to independent variables.
