Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The treatment needs of youth who are convicted of sex offenses and the needs of their families, \nhave received little attention in research literature. This study examined the impact of several \nissues, such as family instability, emotional abuse and parental attachment, on juvenile sex \noffending status, with a research population of over 500 juvenile sex offenders. The impact of \nemotional abuse was determined to be significantly correlated with juvenile sex offending status, \nas was the impact of several variables of parent and caregiver instability. Parental attachment \nwas not found to be a significantly correlated variable to juvenile sex offending status. \nImplications for social work practice, as well as research and treatment, are included.
