Juvenile Sex Offenders

The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 9, Number 4, 2002

Studies of adult sex offenders suggest that many of them began their sexually abusive behavior in their youth. The youth who commit sexual offenses are very hetergeneous, as are the acts they perpetrate. While many prevention programs have focused on educating potential victims, very little has been done to prevent youth from offending in the first place. This issue looks at the characteristics of adolescent sex offenders and current strategies for preventing youth from sexually offending.
