“…In 4 studies, sex offenders were more likely than were non-sex offenders to have been sexually abused (Burton et al, 2002;Ford & Linney, 1995;Jonson-Reid & Way, 2001;Veneziano et al, 2004), whereas 2 studies did not find such a difference (Spaccarelli et al, 1997;van Wijk, Loeber, et al, 2005). With regard to sexual development and functioning, 2 studies (Daleiden, Kaufman, Hilliker, & O'Neil, 1998;Ford & Linney, 1995) found that sex offenders were more emotionally disturbed (e.g., more deviant sexual fantasies, fewer consenting sexual experiences, exposure to pornographic materials) compared to non-sex offenders, whereas one study found no differences with regard to atypical sexual experiences and fantasies (Daleiden et al, 1998), and still another found fewer cognitive distortions among sex offenders (Racey, Lopez, & Schneider, 2000). van Wijk, Loeber, et al (2005) found that the age of first sexual intercourse and the number of female partners were similar for sex offenders and non-sex offenders.…”

“…Six studies reported on peer functioning (Table 9). Three studies reported that sex offenders were more likely to have peer relationship problems than were non-sex offenders (Ford & Linney, 1995;Miner & Munns, 2005;Racey et al, 2000), whereas one study described the opposite (Butler & Seto, 2002). Three studies found no differences with regard to problems in peer relations (Ford &236 TRAUMA, VIOLENCE, &ABUSE / October 2006 Bulter andSeto (2002) Hagan, Gust-Brey, Cho, and Dow 2001Jacobs, Kennedy, and Meyer (1997) Sipe, Jensen, and Everett (1998) van Wijk, Vreugdenhil, and Bullens (2004) van Wijk, Loeber, et al (2005) Number of additional sexual assaults perpetrated as an adult (for child molesters and rapists compared with non-sex offenders)…”

An unresolved but clinically important issue in the literature on juvenile delinquency is to what extent juvenile sex offenders resemble non-sex offenders with respect to individual, familial, and environmental characteristics. The current article reviewed published studies (1995-2005) comparing sex offenders with non-sex offenders. The 17 articles meeting the inclusion criteria suggest that differences exist between sex offenders and non-sex offenders on personality characteristics, behavioral problems, history of sexual abuse, nonsexual offending, and peer functioning. Inconsistent results were found for demographic factors, family functioning and background, antisocial attitudes, and intellectual and neurological functioning. Although it is likely that sex offenders can be differentiated from nonsex offenders on a number of characteristics, caution is warranted because of methodological differences between studies and small samples size. Also, studies show that sex offenders are a heterogeneous group. Further research should take into account this heterogeneity by including sex offenders from clearly circumscribed groups and investigating characteristics specifically related to sexual behavior.

“…Rape myth acceptance also interacted with casual attitudes about sex for male and female aggressors, such that men with high endorsement of a composite variable that included rape myth acceptance, and women with very low endorsement of the composite, who also reported casual sexual attitudes, were more likely to report SV (Yost & Zurbriggen, 2006). Two studies reported there were no differences between ASOs and delinquent adolescents in attitudes toward women or rape myth acceptance (Epps, Haworth, & Swaffer, 1993;Racey et al, 2000), which may be a function of comparing attitudes between two offending groups rather than an offending and nonoffending group. Three studies of community samples of adults reported endorsement of rape myths and SV perpetration were not associated (Forbes & Adams-Curtis, 2001; Forbes, Adams-Curtis, & White, 2004;Loh et al, 2005).…”

The current review summarized results of 191 published empirical studies that examined the risk and protective factors for sexual violence perpetration. Studies in the review examined factors for perpetration by and against adolescents and adults, by male and female perpetrators, and by those who offended against individuals of the same sex or opposite sex. Factors associated with child sexual abuse (CSA) perpetration were not included. In all, 2 societal and community factors, 23 relationship factors, and 42 individual-level factors were identified. Of these 67 factors, consistent significant support for their association with SV was found for 35, nonsignificant effects were found for 10, 7 factors had limited or sample-specific evidence that they were associated with SV but were in need of further study, and 15 demonstrated mixed results. The factors identified in the review underscore the need for comprehensive prevention programs that target multiple risk and protective factors as well as factors that occur across the social ecology. Moreover, we identified two domains of factors--the presence and acceptance of violence and unhealthy sexual behaviors, experiences, or attitudes--that had consistent significant associations with SV but are not typically addressed in prevention programs. Therefore, SV prevention may also benefit from learning from effective strategies in other areas of public health, namely sexual health and youth violence prevention.

We tested special and general explanations of male adolescent sexual offending by conducting a meta-analysis of 59 independent studies comparing male adolescent sex offenders (n = 3,855) with male adolescent non-sex offenders (n = 13,393) on theoretically derived variables reflecting general delinquency risk factors (antisocial tendencies), childhood abuse, exposure to violence, family problems, interpersonal problems, sexuality, psychopathology, and cognitive abilities. The results did not support the notion that adolescent sexual offending can be parsimoniously explained as a simple manifestation of general antisocial tendencies. Adolescent sex offenders had much less extensive criminal histories, fewer antisocial peers, and fewer substance use problems compared with non-sex offenders. Special explanations suggesting a role for sexual abuse history, exposure to sexual violence, other abuse or neglect, social isolation, early exposure to sex or pornography, atypical sexual interests, anxiety, and low self-esteem received support. Explanations focusing on attitudes and beliefs about women or sexual offending, family communication problems or poor parent-child attachment, exposure to nonsexual violence, social incompetence, conventional sexual experience, and low intelligence were not supported. Ranked by effect size, the largest group difference was obtained for atypical sexual interests, followed by sexual abuse history, and, in turn, criminal history, antisocial associations, and substance abuse. We discuss the implications of the findings for theory development, as well as for the assessment, treatment, and prevention of adolescent sexual offending.
