The Juvenile Sex Offender, 2nd ed.

Abstract

Reviews the book, The juvenile sex offender, 2nd ed by edited Howard E. Barbaree and William L. Marshall (see record 2006-12464-000). The authors have amassed a panel of knowledgeable contributors who define what we do and do not know about juvenile sex offenders, the risk factors for their offending, and the triggers and concomitant problems of their offending. The chapters are written in such a comprehensive and understandable manner that each is invaluable as a freestanding resource for time pressed practitioners with questions in a specific area, without the need of reading the entire book to grasp the concepts. This book is recommended for child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists, forensic psychiatrists and psychologists, social workers, and other mental health and legal professionals working in clinical practice and juvenile justice with these youth.
