Abstract
This article provides a comparative analysis of juvenile sex offenders in the USA and Australia. Juvenile sex offenders are shown to have common characteristics that include prior childhood abuse, experiences with sibling incest, possession of specific psychological dysfunctions, and dysfunctional familial backgrounds. These characteristics are common to juvenile sex offenders in both countries, pointing to the likelihood of universal typological determinations. Further, treatment programs for juvenile sex offenders in both countries are shown to be similar in structure, orientation and overall effectiveness. From the compiled research in both countries, it is shown that early childhood factors as well as post-offense interventions have similarities that support the notion that juvenile sex offenders have a universal basis in etiology and recidivism.
