Adverse Childhood Experiences Distinguish Violent Juvenile Sexual Offenders’ Victim Typologies

Juvenile perpetrators account for over 25% of all sexual offenses, and over one-third of such offenses are against victims under the age of 18. Given empirical connections between adverse childhood experience (ACE) exposure and perpetration of violence, we create victim typologies based on the juven...
