Abstract:
We receive many requests from criminal justice practitioners to publish information about the risk sex offenders pose to members of the communities in which they are living. In this issue and the previous one, we published a summary of articles related to the risk assessment and recidivism of adult sex offenders, as well as some studies on the efficacy of policies related to them. This article provides a summary of recent key studies on juvenile sex offenders, which is particularly important with the increasing legislative focus on this population.Keywords:
