    Author: Underwood LA, Robinson SB, Mosholder E, Warren KM.
    Journal: Clin Psychol Rev; 2008 Jul; 28(6):917-32. PubMed ID: 18313820.
    Abstract:
    Sexual offenses perpetrated by adolescents have reportedly reached epidemic proportions. Adolescent sex offenders have been transferred to secure care facilities for their primary care. The elevated awareness and recognition of the problematic growth of adolescent sexual offenses has stimulated discussion among psychologists concerning the etiology, characteristics, classification, assessment, treatment interventions, and risk of recidivism. This article explores the critical factors and counseling strategies of those adolescents who have been adjudicated of sexual offenses.
