- A juvenile sex crime is defined as a legally-proscribed sexual crime committed without consent by a minor under the age of 18. The act involves coercion, manipulation, a power imbalance between the perpetrator and victim, and threats of violence. The sexual offenses that fall under juvenile sex crimes range from non-contact to penetration. The severity of the sexual assault in the crime committed is often the amount of trauma and/or injuries the victim has suffered. Typically within these crimes, female children are the majority demographic of those targeted and the majority of offenders are male. Juvenile sex offenders are different than adult sex offenders in a few ways, as captured by National Incident Based Reporting System: they are more likely to be committed in school, offend in groups and against acquaintances, target young children as victims, and to have a male victim, whereas they are less likely than their adult counterpart to commit rape. According to the FBI, from 2019 to 2020, there were 132,091 rape incidents and 137,235 offenses reported in the US. 22% of those rape offenses were committed by offenders age 10–19. Throughout the past 10 years, juveniles have been the largest age demographic to have committed rape offenses, as documented by the NIBRS. There is an abundance of diversity in the motivation and backgrounds of juvenile sex offenders. The numerous characteristics of juvenile sex offenders include maladaptive personality traits, historical accounts of sexual and physical abuse and maltreatment, as well as inter- and intra-personal relationship strenuosity. There have been many attempts by clinicians and psychologists alike to classify types of juvenile sex offenders based on these characteristics, including the difference between male and female perpetrators of juvenile sex offenses. Historically and especially more recently, the United States has taken on a "protect society" approach when it comes to dealing with juvenile sex offenders. While policies and requirements of the criminal justice system vary by state, there are consistencies in attempts to manage juvenile sex crimes including a sex offender registry and the courts and sentencing process.
