adolescent perpetrators of sexual assault against children adolescent perpe
trators of rape against same age or older peers. other adolescent delinquen
ts, and the general population. Results of this study found that adolescent

-year period after their release from a juvenile correctional facility than
were a control group of other non-sex offending adolescent delinquents fro
m the same institution. Juvenile non-sex offenders, child sexual offenders,
and adolescent rapists were all found to be significantly more likely to b
e involved in sexual assaults than was the general male population in the U
