ANNOTATION: In 1995, youth (ages 10 to 17) committed 15% of all forcible rapes that resulted in arrest, while 16,100 juveniles were arrested for other sexual offenses (excluding rape and prostitution). This report examines research developments, policy development issues, promising approaches to intervention, controversial areas of practice, areas for future research, and recommendations for practice. Topics covered include: characteristics of juvenile sexual abuse; typology; multisystemic therapy and other treatment research; trends in juvenile justice; coordination between the criminal justice system and treatment providers; assessment; clinical programming; controversial practice issues such as involuntary treatment, pre-adjudication evaluations, risk assessment, phallometric assessment, polygraph, arousal conditioning and psychopharmacologic therapies, and legal and clinical concerns.
