Abstract

Being adjudicated for a sex offense carries significant social, legal, and penal implications that are almost unparalleled and adolescents are no exception to this differential treatment by the justice system. This highlights the relevance of providing criminal career information concerning future offending among adolescents who have a record for a sex offense as they age and become adults. Based on prospective longitudinal data collected from a sample of male adolescents enrolled in the Pathways to Desistance study (n = 1170), negative binomial regression models are conducted to investigate the relationship between having a juvenile record for a sex offense and the frequency of general offending in early adulthood (i.e., 18 years old and over). Results show that adolescents who have perpetrated a sex offense have significantly lower levels of involvement in offending during early adulthood, whether based on official or self-reported data. Findings are discussed in terms of policy and theoretical implications.

有性犯罪的青少年的成人犯罪结果:青春期的性犯罪是否预示着未来的事情?

因性犯罪而被判决具有重大的社会、法律和刑事影响，这几乎是无与伦比的，青少年也不例外，受到司法系统的这种差别对待。这突出了为有过性犯罪记录的青少年提供有关未来犯罪的犯罪生涯信息的相关性，这些青少年随着年龄的增长和成年。基于前瞻性纵向数据收集的男性青少年样本(n = 1170)，采用负二项回归模型来调查青少年性犯罪记录与成年早期(即18岁及以上)一般犯罪频率之间的关系。结果显示，无论是根据官方数据还是自我报告的数据，有过性犯罪行为的青少年在成年早期的犯罪行为水平明显较低。研究结果在政策和理论意义方面进行了讨论。
