A group of male adolescent sexual offenders were divided into three groups: Courtship Disorders (Exhibitionism, Toucherism and Obscene Phone Calls), Sexual Assaults, and Pedophilic Offenses. Group I offenders tended to come from a less disorganized family background, were better adjusted to school and in the community and were seen by clinicians as less seriously disturbed than the adolescents in the other two groups. In addition, these adolescents did not experience the offense as a sexual act. Group II offenders (Sexual Assaulters) came from a more disturbed family background characterized by a high rate of long-term parent-child separations, committed more violent offenses and had a higher frequency of intellectual functioning in the Borderline Range of Intelligence. Group III offenders (Pedophilic Offenses) were Canadian born, had witnessed physical violence between their parents, were described as having been infants who did not enjoy being cuddled and had siblings who were truant. This study suggests that classifying adolescent sexual offenders along the line suggested in adult literature seems to be justified.
求爱障碍（露阴癖、触摸癖和淫秽电话）、性侵犯和恋童癖犯罪。第一组犯罪者往往来自组织性较差的家庭背景，在学校和社区中适应得更好，临床医生认为他们比其他两组的青少年心理困扰程度较轻。此外，这些青少年并不将犯罪视为性行为。第二组犯罪者（性侵犯者）来自更混乱的家庭背景，其特点是长期亲子分离率高，实施的暴力犯罪更多，且在智力边缘范围内的智力功能频率更高。第三组犯罪者（恋童癖犯罪）出生在加拿大，目睹过父母之间的身体暴力，被描述为小时候不喜欢被拥抱，且有逃学的兄弟姐妹。这项研究表明，按照成人文献中建议的方式对青少年性犯罪者进行分类似乎是合理的。
