This session explores the complexities of juvenile sex offending, examining current research on offending patterns and the effectiveness of intervention strategies in reducing recidivism. The session will review the distinctions between juvenile and adult sex offenders and how this knowledge informs treatment and risk management. An experienced panel will share insights on evidence-based practices for this population and their impact on sexual and general recidivism rates, including successful program completion and community reintegration. Challenges and implications of current data on juvenile sex offender recidivism, such as the underreporting of sex offenses and the limitations of existing risk assessment tools, will also be discussed.
