Understanding, Assessing, and Rehabilitating Juvenile Sexual Offenders

Rating:
Summary: Extensive and Informative
Review: Having met the author and listened to him sharing his penetrating understanding of juvenile sexual offenders with numerous clinicians working in the field, I am strongly impressed with the clarity and insight his writing brings to bear on the subject as well. The book not only represents extensive research into the current literature, but also integrates the author's first-hand knowledge with current practice. Although my expertise lies in the computational field, I find Dr. Rich's work highly informative and recommended.

Summary: Great addition to the field
Review: I have read most of the work available on the subject of juvenile sexual offending and sexual aggression in youths. This book is outstanding, and easily matches Ryan and Lane's edited work on the same subject. Highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent resource - highly recommended
Review: This is a comprehensive book that covers the field from theory to application, and seems to have something useful, relevant, and well informed to say about many aspects of the work. It covers understanding the population, the development of the behavior, and evaluation and treatment. If you're in the field, occassionally work with juvenile sexual abusers, or have an interest in learning more, the book is a great resource.
