module 4A1 discussion board

Discussion Board Topic: Using the module resources, name some characteristics of the sexually deviant crimes that can impact minors. What are some of the effects of these crimes? 

A quick analysis of available date from the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer for 2021, shows that 17% of known sexual offenders were under 18. We often don’t think of young people as sexual offenders, but it is a crime that occurs. (See image or excel spreadsheet below for the data used)

What types of preventative measure can be taken to cut down on the occurrence of these types crimes? Split your prevention up by age – how do we prevent juveniles and adult offenders from harming children? Do you think offenders can be reformed?

Find one article to back up your thoughts on prevention and offender reforming.
