Sexually Aggressive Children : Coming To Understand Them
by Sharon K. Araji (Editor) "As
noted in the Introduction, this book is about children 12 or less years of age
who act sexually aggressive toward others who are younger..." (more)
Book description:
In an accessible and sensitive fashion, Sexually Aggressive Children provides a
comprehensive overview of sexual abuse perpetrated by children 12 years old and
younger. Drawing attention to this frequently overlooked population, author
Sharon K. Araji explores the familial, extrafamilial, and situtational factors
conducive to various types of sexual abuse by children so young. For
professionals and researchers forced to consider sexually aggressive acts by
children as young as 2 or 3, this book examines the theories and frameworks used
to explain this kind of behavior and outlines their associated social and
psychological characteristics. Araji identifies nine programs and practices
designed by therapists treating individuals, families, and groups dealing with
preadolescent sexually aggressive behavior and concludes with an assessment on
the reporting and investigation of cases. Sexually Aggressive Children also adds
recommendations for closing the current gaps in both the social and criminal
justice systems that impede the appropriate identification, processing, and
treatment of sexually aggressive children. This book will help researchers and
professionals to coordinate efforts to successfully address how to deal with
sexually aggressive children. Sexually Aggressive Children will be a valuable
resource for all those in the multidisciplinary fields of child abuse and
interpersonal violence, including academics and practitioners in social work,
clinical/counseling psychology, and criminology/criminal justice. |

The Juvenile Sex Offender
by Howard E. Barbaree (Editor), William L. Marshall (Editor), Stephen M. Hudson
(Editor) "This chapter is intended to place juvenile sex offenders in a context,
in terms of their relation to the problem of sexual assault in our..." (more)
Book description:
There has been an extraordinary amount of published research and theory on
sexual assault by adult male offenders. Yet, little has been written about the
juvenile or adolescent sex offender, either as a subject of study in his own
right, or in an effort to understand the developmental processes which may lead
to sexually assaultive behavior in adults. Filling a gap in the literature, this
comprehensive volume provides a detailed examination of the juvenile sexual
offender, and what is known about the development of sexually assaultive
behavior. Written by leading researchers, chapters first define terms and
concepts and outline the research, professional, and legal issues relevant to
treatment of the juvenile sex offender. Salient historical, personality, and
behavioral characteristics which may differentiate various important
subgroupings of these offenders are also described. The book then focuses on the
development of the juvenile sexual offender, and how this development differs
from that of normal adolescents. Chapters examine how sexuality evolves and
manifests itself in both the normal and the deviant teenager, and why deviant
behaviors often continue into adulthood. Sexual arousal and preferences of the
adolescent offender, and processes involving social bonds and influences on the
development of deviant sexuality are also discussed. Finally, the book explores
ways in which society might respond to prevent or control the occurrence of
sexual assault by juveniles. A comprehensive approach to treatment is presented
that encompasses criminal justice and mental health systems,
cognitive-behavioral interventions, pharmacological approaches, relapse
prevention, and supervision. Highly informative and useful, this text is
particularly important to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and
other mental health clinicians working with juvenile sexual offenders, their
families, and their victims. Similarly, professionals in forensic, developmental
or child and family studies will also find it of particular interest. It also
serves as an ideal text for advanced courses on juvenile sexual offenders, or as
supplementary reading for students of forensic psychology or psychiatry.
