Juvenile Sexual Offenders: A Comprehensive Guide to Risk Evaluation
The evaluation of risk for sexual re-offense in children and adolescents is quite different from risk evaluation with adult sexual offenders. Sexually abusive youths are persons-in-development and, as such, must be understood in the social and developmental contexts of their lives, having the potential to change from year to year in their capacities, attitudes, sense of self and others, and neurobiology. Providing crucial, current information literature, Juvenile Sexual Offenders: A Comprehensive Guide to Risk Evaluation, published by John Wiley & Sons, offers a detailed and timely overview of the process of risk evaluation of sexually abusive youth, and practical information for effectively conducting thorough and comprehensive risk evaluations.

The Stages of Accomplishment Workbooks
The Stages of Accomplishment workbooks, published by the NEARI Press, include four inter-related workbooks that assist in the treatment of sexually abusive youth or adolescents who have shown other sexually troubled behavior. Building from simpler ideas to more complex and richer concepts, the workbooks take the youth through a series of guided exercises that touch on many of the most significant elements of treatment. The workbooks can be used in a variety of settings, to augment individualized treatment or applied to community-based and residential treatment settings. The accompanying Clinician's Guide will help guide therapists in their use of the workbooks, and includes supplemental tests to ensure the highest retention of learning.
