Take Home Messages There is no “typical” profile of a juvenile sex offender. “One size fits all” approaches are not appropriate. Juvenile sex offenders are not miniature adult offenders. Collaboration is key to managing this population. Section 8
Take Home Messages (Continued) Comprehensive and ongoing assessments are critical. Treatment must be specialized to meet the needs of the juvenile and driven by assessment information. Effective supervision strategies reflect a balanced, success-oriented approach. Section 8
