OJJDP has published its latest bulletin in its Crimes Against Children bulletin series, titled “Juveniles Who Commit Sex Offenses Against Minors”. The bulletin presents information about the characteristics of juvenile offenders who commit sex offenses against minors and analyzes data from the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System to describe the characteristics of the juvenile sex offender population who have come to the attention of law enforcement. Key findings include that juveniles account for more than one-third (36 percent) of those known to police to have committed sex offenses against minors, and juveniles who commit sex offenses against other children are more likely than adult sex offenders to offend in groups, at schools, and to have more male and younger victims.
