Americans? reaction to such stories has prompted the unquestioned application to adolescents of harsh legal and clinical intervention strategies designed for serious adult offenders, with little attention being paid to the psychological maturity of the offender. Many strategies being used today to deal with juvenile sex offenders?and even to define what criteria to use in defining "juvenile sex offender"?do not have empirical support and, Frank C. DiCataldo cautions, may be doing more harm to children and society than good.The Perversion of Youth critiques the current system and its methods for treating and categorizing juveniles, and calls for a major reevaluation of how these cases should be managed in the future. Through an analysis of the history of the problem and an empirical review of the literature, including specific cases and their outcomes, DiCataldo demonstrates that current practices are based more on our collective fears and moral passions than on any supportive science or sound policy. 410 0$aPsychology and crime series. 606 $aTeenage sex offenders$xPsychology 606 $aTeenage sex offenders$xRehabilitation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTeenage sex offenders$xPsychology. 615 0$aTeenage sex offenders$xRehabilitation. 676 $a364.15/30835 700 $aDiCataldo$b Frank C$01040168 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454002503321 996 $aThe perversion of youth$92462819 997 $aUNINA
