Book description
Clinicians who do not exclusively work with juvenile sexual offenders
still need to evaluate and assess risk with sexually reactive children
in their practices. Providing crucial, current literature, Juvenile
Sexual Offenders offers a timely overview of the process of risk
evaluation of juvenile sexual offenders. Practical information is
provided in effectively conducting thorough evaluations of juvenile
sexual offenders. Topics include projecting risk and using the
instruments. Professionals in the field, including clinicians,
supervisors, and administrators, will receive detailed guidelines on how
to gauge potential risk of repeat offense.
