Few differences were found between subgroups characterized by higher frequencies, suggesting that it might be possible to identify adolescents most in need of treatment by attending to the methods most frequently used. Results also suggested that measuring the severity of each method may yield more accurate information than a priori groupings.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":"97 6","pages":"1530-1546"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jad.12516","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both groups displayed borderline to low-average IQ scores, with intellectual disability as a common diagnosis. The most common offence in both groups is qualified sexual assault. In the majority of cases, the initiation of judicial proceedings occurs as a result of the family complaints. Alcohol and substance use disorders were less prevalent than reported in Western samples, potentially reflecting cultural and religious influences. The majority of the perpetrators were school dropouts, suggesting that educational disruptions may have played a significant role in the perpetrators' backgrounds.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The findings highlight the importance of implementing tailored interventions that address cognitive impairments and social skills deficits.
