Influences on Juvenile Sexual Offending: Individual Versus Environmental Predictors

Boyles, Jody

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ), Bowling Green State University, Criminal Justice.
This study investigated the correlations between known predictors of juvenile sexual offending and the total number of incidents by offenders. Previous literature has examined individual and environmental factors thought to play a role in juvenile sexual offending, but it has often ignored the impact of these factors on one-time offenders versus repeat offenders. This study examines the relationships between these variables and the number of incidents through Spearman’s rho correlations. Results indicated that there are differences between one-time offenders and repeat offenders on individual and environmental factors, as well as on the characteristics of their victims.
