This study investigated attitudes toward juvenile sex offenders and factors influencing those attitudes. Additionally, the influences of perpetrator characteristics such as age, gender, and ethnicity on societal attitudes towards intervention requirements were also investigated. Overall, attitudes toward juvenile sex offenders and their treatment amenability were negative. No differences in attitudes toward juvenile sex offenders were found between those who had been victims of sexual abuse and those that had not. Sex offenses committed by juvenile female sex offenders were viewed to be more serious and require more intervention than those committed by juvenile male sex offenders.
本研究调查了对青少年性犯罪者的态度以及影响这些态度的因素。此外，还研究了犯罪者特征（如年龄、性别和种族）对社会对干预要求的态度的影响。总体而言，对青少年性犯罪者及其治疗适宜性的态度是负面的。在曾遭受性虐待的人和未遭受性虐待的人之间，对青少年性犯罪者的态度没有差异。与青少年男性性犯罪者实施的性犯罪相比，青少年女性性犯罪者实施的性犯罪被认为更严重，需要更多干预。
