OJJDP Bulletin Presents
Findings on Juveniles Who Sexually Victimize Other Youth
The Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published "Juveniles
Who Commit Sex Offenses Against Minors," the latest in its
Crimes Against Children bulletin series.
The bulletin
presents population-based epidemiological information
about the characteristics of juvenile offenders who
commit sex offenses against minors. The authors analyze
data from the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting
System to describe the characteristics of the juvenile
sex offender population who have come to the attention
of law enforcement. Key findings include:
- Juveniles account for more than one-third (36
percent) of those known to police to have committed
sex offenses against minors.
- Juveniles who commit sex offenses against other
children are more likely than adult sex offenders to
offend in groups, at schools, and to have more male
and younger victims.
Findings may support the development of
research-based interventions and policies to reduce
sexual assault and child molestation as perpetrated by
juvenile offenders. |
