Despite the fact that media bombard the public with the notion that
sex offenders are everywhere-and could be just next door-official
sources show that official sex offense rates have been steadily
declining over the past 10 years. Yet, when a juvenile is accused
of a sexually-based crime, media attention is swift and relentless.
The truth about juvenile sex offenders is often, therefore,
misunderstood. In many cases, such offenders are victims
themselves. Here, Gibson and Vandiver reveal the truth about
juvenile sex offenders and what can be done to help them and to
prevent the cycle of abuse that leads to such tragic outcomes. This
book sets the records straight about juvenile sex offending. It
provides accurate, up-to-date statistics, real life cases, and
information about offender characteristics, victim characteristics,
family factors, social issues, media involvement, and other related
areas. It offers explanations for juvenile sex offending from a
variety of perspectives and reviews legal and criminal responses to
the problem. Included are discussions of female offenders, punitive
measures to prevent repeat offenses, and other steps the federal
government and individual states are taking to address the problem.
The authors conclude with advice on how to protect children from
becoming victims and how to prevent sexual offending in the first
place.
