In their article, “Developmental Factors in Adolescent Child Sexual Offenders,” Susan Dennison and Benoit Leclerc of Griffith University suggests that in comparison to nonrepeat sexual offenders, repeat offenders have had a past where they were victims of sexual abuse. In order to back up their claim, the authors include information pertaining to sexual offenses that are committed if there happens to be a lack of intervention with this particular adolescence group. In order to explain the circumstances within adolescent sexual offenders, the authors look deeper into examining risk factors involved and look to see of this causes repeat offenders to repeat again. The authors have a serious tone and are targeting a concerned and interested group.
