More knowledge is needed about the etiology and treatment needs of adolescent sex offenders. The current study compared adolescents who had offended against children (defined as below the age of 12 and at least 5 years younger than the adolescent), adolescents who have offended against peers or adults, and adolescents who had victims in both age groups. Based on Seto and Lalumière's meta-analytic findings, participants were compared on theoretically derived factors, including childhood sexual abuse, atypical sexual interests, sexual experience, social competence, psychiatric history, and general delinquency factors (past criminal history, substance abuse history, and offense characteristics). The study sample consisted of 162 court-referred male adolescent sexual offenders aged 12 to 17 years. Of the six identified domains, groups significantly differed on five of them; the exceptions were variables reflecting social competence. The results further support the validity of distinguishing adolescent sex offenders by victim age.
我们需要更多关于青少年性犯罪者的病因及治疗需求的知识。当前的研究比较了侵犯儿童的青少年（定义为年龄在12岁以下且比该青少年至少小5岁）、侵犯同龄人或成年人的青少年以及在两个年龄组都有受害者的青少年。基于塞托和拉卢米尔的元分析结果，对参与者在理论推导因素方面进行了比较，这些因素包括童年期性虐待、非典型性兴趣、性经历、社交能力、精神病史以及一般犯罪因素（过去的犯罪史、药物滥用史和犯罪特征）。研究样本包括162名年龄在12至17岁之间、被法庭转介的男性青少年性犯罪者。在六个确定的领域中，各群体在其中五个领域存在显著差异；唯一的例外是反映社交能力的变量。研究结果进一步支持了根据受害者年龄区分青少年性犯罪者的有效性。
