Criminal statistics indicate that a high percentage of sexual offences are committed by perpetrators under the age of 18 years. Descriptive data based on a retrospective case note study of 121 juvenile sexual offender referrals to an adolescent forensic unit are presented. The results suggest that adolescents commit an array of offences and present with generalized adjustment difficulties. Conduct disorder was the most common diagnosis, while rates of mental illness were lower than in earlier studies. Abused as opposed to non-abused offenders experienced more dysfunctional upbringings and demonstrated higher rates of personal disturbance. Theoretical and treatment implications are discussed in relation to the available literature on adolescent sexual offending.
犯罪统计数据表明，很大比例的性犯罪是由18岁以下的犯罪者实施的。本文呈现了基于对121名转介至青少年法医部门的青少年性犯罪者进行回顾性病例记录研究的描述性数据。结果表明，青少年犯下一系列罪行，并存在普遍的适应困难。品行障碍是最常见的诊断结果，而精神疾病的发生率低于早期研究。与未受虐待的犯罪者相比，受虐待的犯罪者成长环境更不正常，个人困扰率更高。结合关于青少年性犯罪的现有文献，讨论了理论和治疗方面的影响。
