Customer Reviews

Excellent book, should be in your library

Gail Ryan and Sandy Lane have been pioneers in this field and we owe them thanks for breaking hard ground which has made it easier for those of us who follow to treat sexually abusive youth(juvenile sex offenders). The chapters are separated logically and impart a great deal of information. This is not necessarily the book for the person who just wants to know more about sexually abusive youth, though it is written in a non-technical language that would be understood. It is probably too much information for someone who isn't committed to the field or committed to understand the juvenile offender, whatever their reasons.

Juvenile Sexual Offending : Causes, Consequences, and Correc

This book is a little difficult to read, you can't just breze through it, but it is understandable. It helped me ease some of my worries, and to understand better what i'm getting into as i plan on entering a job working with juvenile sex offendors. It also give me a basis on how i should be responding to the juveniles.
