There has been an increased focus on understanding youth sexual offending in recent years, but there has been limited empirical research on the causes, pathways, and treatment of youth who have sexually offended-especially within a non-Western context. The Good Lives and Self-Regulation Models have often been used to understand and rehabilitate adult sexual offenders, but (unfortunately) there is scant research on youth who sexually offended using these models. The present study aims to describe the different primary goods that are associated with youth sexual offending behaviors in an Asian context. In addition, the study sought to explore whether the age of victim (child vs. nonchild) and nature of sexual offense (penetrative vs. nonpenetrative) influenced the youth's engagement in offense pathways. The results suggest that pleasure, relatedness, and inner peace were the primary human goods that were most sought after by a sample of 168 youth who sexually offended in Singapore. In addition, offender classification (in relation to the age of victim and nature of sexual offense) influenced the pathways to sexual offending. Therefore, these findings have important clinical implications for assessment, management, and intervention planning for youth who sexually offended.
近年来，人们越来越关注对青少年性犯罪的理解，但对于有性犯罪行为的青少年的成因、途径和治疗的实证研究有限，尤其是在非西方背景下。良好生活与自我调节模型经常被用于理解和改造成年性犯罪者，但遗憾的是，对于使用这些模型的青少年性犯罪者的研究很少。本研究旨在描述在亚洲背景下与青少年性犯罪行为相关的不同主要善因。此外，该研究试图探讨受害者年龄（儿童与非儿童）和性犯罪性质（侵入性与非侵入性）是否会影响青少年走上犯罪道路。结果表明，愉悦、人际关系和内心平静是新加坡168名有性犯罪行为的青少年最追求的主要人类善因。此外，犯罪者分类（与受害者年龄和性犯罪性质有关）影响了性犯罪的途径。因此，这些发现对于有性犯罪行为的青少年的评估、管理和干预计划具有重要的临床意义。
