在过去的二十年里，对性犯罪者采取了更严厉的法律的制裁和漫长的限制性治疗计划。不仅成年人如此，实施性犯罪的青少年也是如此。对青少年性犯罪者的法律的和临床干预的时间和严重程度的增加似乎是由三个错误的假设造成的：（1）青少年犯罪，包括青少年性犯罪，是一种流行病;（2）青少年性犯罪者与成年性犯罪者比与其他青少年犯罪者有更多的共同点;（3）在缺乏针对性犯罪者的治疗的情况下，青少年性犯罪者再次犯罪的风险非常高。现有的数据不支持上述任何假设，但是，这些假设继续影响治疗和法律的干预适用于青少年性犯罪，并有助于成人干预青少年性犯罪的应用。在这样做的时候，这些法律的和临床干预措施没有考虑到青春期特有的发展因素，因此可能无效或更糟。幸运的是，承认这些发展因素的范式转变似乎正在临床干预领域出现，尽管这种趋势在法律的制裁中并不普遍。
The past two decades have seen a movement toward harsher legal sanctions and lengthy, restrictive treatment programs for sex offenders. This has not only been the case for adults, but also for juveniles who commit sex offenses. The increased length and severity of legal and clinical interventions for juvenile sex offenders appear to have resulted from three false assumptions: (1) there is an epidemic of juvenile offending, including juvenile sex offending; (2) juvenile sex offenders have more in common with adult sex offenders than with other juvenile delinquents; and (3) in the absence of sex offender-specific treatment, juvenile sex offenders are at exceptionally high risk of reoffending. The available data do not support any of the above assumptions; however, these assumptions continue to influence the treatment and legal interventions applied to juvenile sex offenders and contributed to the application of adult interventions to juvenile sex offending. In so doing, these legal and clinical interventions fail to consider the unique developmental factors that characterize adolescence, and thus may be ineffective or worse. Fortunately, a paradigm shift that acknowledges these developmental factors appears to be emerging in clinical areas of intervention, although this trend does not appear as prevalent in legal sanctions.
