“…Aylwin et al (2000) analyzed all sexual behaviors during reported sexual episodes, but they did not separately analyze the behaviors initiated by the offender from those adopted by the victim. Margolin and Craft (1990) as well as Allard-Dansereau, Haley, Hamane, and Bernard-Bonnin (1997) analyzed the nature of the sexual behaviors committed by the offenders, but did not consider those adopted by their victims. In short, these studies did not explore the extent to which the intrusiveness of the offenders' sexual behaviors is contingent on their ability to enhance victim participation during the offense.…”

In this paper, the modus operandi of 103 adolescents involved in sexual offenses against children (12 year old or less) is analyzed. Modus operandi strategies were measured by the participants' responses to the Modus Operandi Questionnaire. Findings indicate that the degree of intrusiveness of the sexual behaviors committed by the adolescents is contingent on the participation of their victims during the sexual episodes. Moreover, the more strategic adolescents may be more likely to secure compliance. This study shows the relevance of analyzing adolescent modus operandi as purposeful behavior and discusses some implications of the findings for crime-commission or offending process models.

“…While Margolin and Craft (1990) found that males were five times more likely to sexually abuse than females, this does not dismiss the importance of female sexual victimization. Sarrel and Masters (1982) state that while the exact number of incidents of sexual abuse committed by females is not known, "there have probably been thousands [of cases] .…”

Scientific research relating to acts of sexual abuse perpetrated by women is a relatively under-investigated field. While the percentage of sex offenses committed by women is low relative to those committed by men, the absolute numbers of such episodes remain unacceptably high, and the consequences of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents may be just as traumatic for those victims. We review the existing empirical research literature pertaining to the characteristics of female sex offenders, the possible types of offenders, and current recommendations regarding their psychosocial treatment. Lacunae in the research literature are identified.
