“…This conclusion is bolstered by findings that this same group was also more likely to commit offenses involving penetration and had self-reported higher levels of deviant interest in younger children. This pattern is consistent with Johnson's ( 1993) suggestion that the most serious juvenile offenders are more motivated by deviant sexual feelings and are also more likely to be violent. The present results suggest the need for caution in using the terms child molester and rapist as juvenile subtypes.…”

“…Molesters may choose younger victims because they cannot manage relationships with same age peers (Johnson, 1993). Some support for this hypothesis has come from a study by Awad and Saunders (1989), who conducted interviews with juveniles charged with sexual assault, molestation, and nonsexual offenses and found that the assault group had higher IQs than the other two groups and were the least likely to be socially isolated.…”

Juvenile sexual offenders were grouped based on whether they had ever used physical force or threats of force to commit an offense using self-reports on the Multiphasic Sex Inventory (MSI) and clinical records review. Subjects were 101 male offenders, 12 to 19 years, residing at a residential treatment facility. Cross-tabulation of self-report and records review were done to define three groups of offenders: rapists (i.e., those who used force), nonrapists, and deniers. These three groups were compared using the MSI and Jesness on other variables assessing offense patterns, sexual deviance, delinquent attitudes, perceived social competence, and offense-related cognitions. Rapists reported significantly more sexual assault fantasy/predatory behavior, greater preoccupation with children, and more paraphilias than did nonrapists and deniers. In comparison to deniers, rapists also reported more obsessive thinking about sex, and a greater willingness to participate in treatment. These findings are discussed with a focus on the apparent validity and usefulness of subtyping juvenile offenders based on whether or not they have used physical force or threats of force in committing a sexual offense.

“…Perhaps the best known of the clinically derived typologies developed for CSBPs is the "Continuum of Sexual Behaviors in Children" formulated by Johnson (Johnson, 1993(Johnson, , 1999(Johnson, , 2000Johnson & Feldmeth, 1993). This typology is based on clinical observations obtained from "extensive evalua-…”

“…Some may limit their behavior to self-stimulation (e.g., masturbation, inserting objects in their vagina or rectum). When they do involve other children in their sexually oriented activities, they tend to seek out children whose age is fairly close to their own, and they do not threaten or coerce them into participating in sexualized behavior (Johnson, 1993).…”

Recent empirical research has shown that children with sexual behavior problems and adolescents who offend sexually are diverse populations consisting of several subtypes (Hall, Mathews, & Pearce, 2002; Pithers, Gray, Busconi, & Houchens, 1998; Worling, 2001). This article reviews the descriptive and empirical research related to identifying subtypes of children with sexual behavior problems and adolescents who offend sexually. Examples of clinically and empirically derived typologies are presented. The author discusses how data from the empirically derived typologies can be incorporated within a multidimensional assessment framework based on the Trauma Outcome Process model (Burton, Rasmussen, Bradshaw, Christopherson, & Huke, 1998; Rasmussen, Burton, & Christopherson, 1992; Rasmussen, 1999, 2001, 2002). The application of this framework in assessing and treating children with sexual behavior problems and adolescents who offend sexually is described.
