A stimulating presentation of clinical thinking that demonstrates why the authors are leaders in the juvenile sex offending field.

Juvenile Sexual Offending provides a comprehensive, in-depth look at the juvenile sexual abuser and assessment and treatment issues. The increase in sexual abuse by adolescents makes this book a must for professionals whose work brings them into contact with juvenile sexual abusers.
