The sample consisted of 391 justice-involved male youths aged 14–20. Participants completed either the Multidimensional Assessment of Sex and Aggression (MASA) or the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA). Four profiles were identified based on a three-step latent profile analysis (LPA): Normal/Neurotic Delinquents, Macho Delinquents, Sexualised Delinquents, and Psychopathic Sexualised Delinquents.

PRACTICE IMPACT STATEMENT: The distribution of YSCs and YNSCs across the four profiles shows that these are not completely distinct populations. Although two profiles in the typology comprised mainly YSCs, YNSCs were present in all profiles. This highlights the importance of rejecting the idea of one-size-fits-all treatment for these youth.

To palliate this limitation, the current study aimed to combine audio and visual stimuli by incorporating computer-generated characters to create new stimuli capable of accurately classifying sex offenders with child victims, while also increasing the number of valid profiles. Three modalities (audio, visual, and audiovisual) were compared using two groups (15 sex offenders with child victims and 15 non-offenders). Both the new visual and audiovisual stimuli resulted in a 13% increase in the number of valid profiles at 2.5 mm, when compared to the standard audio stimuli. Furthermore, the new audiovisual stimuli generated a 34% increase in penile responses. All three modalities were able to discriminate between the two groups by their responses to the adult and child stimuli. Lastly, sexual interest indices for all three modalities could accurately classify participants in their appropriate groups, as demonstrated by ROC curve analysis (i.e., audio AUC = .81, 95% CI [.60, 1.00]; visual AUC = .84, 95% CI [.66, 1.00], and audiovisual AUC = .83, 95% CI [.63, 1.00]).

abstract = {Purpose: To investigate the coping strategies of youth sexual offenders, which are believed to be important elements in the development of sexual offending behaviours. Subjects and method: This cross-sectional study investigated two groups of male adolescents (n = 196) consisting of youth sexual offenders and non-offender peers. Examination of the coping strategies was measured by a Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Results: It was hypothesized that youth sexual offenders used sex-related activities and emotions as coping strategies to alleviate negative emotional states and problematic situations. The results obtained demonstrated that youth sexual offenders make less use of sex-related activities as a way of coping with stressful situations, but make more use of emotions-coping strategies when compared to non-offender peers. An attempt was made to predict youth as sexual offenders or non-offenders according to the coping strategies they used in times of stress. The logistic regression model used was statistically significant and the analysis performed increased the likelihood of correctly identifying youth sexual offenders based on the coping strategies used in times of stress. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that youth sexual offenders have a tendency to use emotional responses to cope with life's difficulties, which may be increasing their level of stress and thereby placing them at a higher risk to offend sexually. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.
