Criminal Histories and Recidivism Rates for Juveniles Convicted of Child Pornography Possession
Overview
What are the socioeconomic demographics of juvenile offenders and how do non-CSEM offenses play into recidivism?
Summary
The increase in access to pornography has meant an increase in juveniles accessing child sexual exploitation material. This means an increase in these juveniles being arrested and charged for possession of the materials. As we know that juvenile sexual offending is different from adult offending, research is needed to truly understand this phenomenon in juveniles.
