Juveniles Who Commit Sex Offenses Against Minors
(NCJ 227763) December 2009
OJJDP Crimes Against Children Series, Bulletin, 12 page(s)
 
Presents population-based epidemiological information about the characteristics of juvenile offenders who commit sex offenses against minors. The authors analyzed data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and provided topical statistics highlighting the fact that juveniles account for more than one-third (35.6 percent) of this type of offender. Findings may support the development of research-based interventions and policies to reduce sexual assault and child molestation as perpetrated by juvenile offenders.
