“…This study has several key features that set it apart from other sexual recidivism studies. These features include (a) an extended follow-up period Existing classification schemes of JSOs (e.g., Becker & Hicks, 2003;Bijleveld & Hendriks, 2003;Butler & Seto, 2002;Graves et al, 1996;Groth, 1977;Knight & Prentky, 1993;Långström & Grann, 2000;Worling, 2001) This model has never been tested before, and although our findings do not necessarily refute these three patterns hypothesized by Becker, they show that the empirical reality may be more complex. For example, the hypothesized delinquency path is difficult to reconcile with the five patterns of nonsexual offending trajectories found, three of which characterize relatively serious involvement in delinquency, with some of them more involved in sexual offending than others.…”

The current study investigates the offending trajectories of juvenile sex offenders (JSOs) across and beyond adolescence. In doing so, the study examines the number, the rate, and the shape of nonsexual and sexual offending trajectories in a sample of JSOs followed retrospectively and prospectively from late childhood to adulthood. Using semiparametric group-based modeling, the study reveals the presence of five distinctive nonsexual offending and two sexual offending trajectories: adolescent-limited and high-rate slow desisters. The study does not find strong evidence of synchronicity between nonsexual and sexual trajectories, suggesting that the current taxonomy of antisocial behaviors may offer a limited perspective on sex offender types. Furthermore, sexual trajectories do not differ much across sex offender types, suggesting that the findings might be generalized to child and peer abusers. The study findings offer supporting evidence for the presence of two distinct JSO types with important implications for theory, research, and interventions.

“…In contrast, in their clinical sample, Bijleveld and Hendriks (2003) reported that group ASOs were younger than single offenders, more often of minority ethnicity and had committed more sexual offenses than single ASOs. In a large sample of arrested rapists 16 years or older, Ullman (1999) found that group rapists were younger than single rapists.…”

“…To our knowledge, only Bijleveld and Hendriks (2003) have compared group and single ASOs. They studied the files of 32 group ASOs and 51 single ASOs who underwent psychological assessment for Dutch juvenile courts during 1991-1996.…”

“…Apart from other classification systems, three types based on victim age, co-offender status and crime history show some face validity and have been frequently addressed and at least partly supported in previous studies (e.g. Bijleveld & Hendriks, 2003;Butler & Seto, 2002;Hart-Kerkhoffs, Doreleijers, Jansen, van Wijk, & Bullens, 2009;Hunter et al, 2003;Kjellgren, Wassberg, Carlberg, Langstrom, & Svedin, 2006;Parks & Bard, 2006). The victim's age is one of the most prominent criteria for the classification of sexual offenders.…”

“…In the present study, the validity of the three types was analyzed by use of a set of previously described relevant variables (e.g. Bijleveld & Hendriks, 2003;Butler & Seto, 2002;Hart-Kerkhoffs et al, 2009;Hunter et al, 2003;Kjellgren et al, 2006) that were available from criminal files. Variables related to general criminal outcomes (e.g.…”

Offender Types and Criminality Dimensions in Male Juveniles Convicted of Sexual Offenses

Cornelia (2012By analyzing nine offender characteristics, four victim characteristics and six offense characteristics, the best evidence was found for the victim age based type. The co-offender status and the crime history types were less well supported. However, all three types were related to each other and did not provide a comprehensive characterization of JSO. Therefore, an additional principal component analyses was performed searching for basic dimensions of juvenile sexual delinquency and leading to the following factors: "single offender with severe molestation of a related child", "persistent general delinquent with migrant background", "older offender with alcohol use and familial constraints", "multiple and aggressive offender with social adversities" and "offender with unselected and multiple victims". These five dimensions reflect different relevant factors of sexual offending behavior in male juveniles and may have further impact on forensic and clinical practice.
