ANNOTATION: “Although those who commit sex offenses against minors are often described as “pedophiles” or “predators” and thought of as adults, it is important to understand that a substantial portion of these offenses are committed by other minors who do not fit the image of such terms” (p. 1). This publication provides detailed information for this little known population of juvenile offenders. Sections of this bulletin include: juvenile and known sex offenders known to police; characteristics of juveniles and adults who commit sex offenders against minors; younger juvenile sex offenders; age distribution of juvenile sex victims by offender age; juvenile sex victim age, by juvenile offender age; female juvenile sex offender; and characteristics of juvenile sex offenders who victimize minors, by age of offender, and by gender of offender.
