Delinquency and Abuse Among Juvenile Sexual Offenders

WAYNE R. SMITH

University of Washington

Background information obtained from 450 male juvenile sexual offenders and their families was examined to explore two important questions: Are juvenile sexual offenders referred for more serious offenses more likely to have a history of aggressiveness or delinquency? Are more serious sexual offenses committed by juveniles who themselves have previously been victims of abuse? The results did not indicate a strong association between the more serious referral sexual offenses and histories of aggressive or property-destructive behavior, but did confirm that the more serious offenses were committed by juveniles who had themselves been abused. Violence and abuse within offenders' families, even though not directly involving the offender himself, were also found to be associated with more serious offenses.
