The mission of this project was\r\nto identify and test potentially useful risk and protective factors\r\nfor adolescent and pre-adolescent youth who had already begun engaging\r\nin sexually coercive behavior. An award from the National Institute of\r\nJustice complemented and supported state funding for the research\r\nproject and permitted detailed coding of 822 cases selected from all\r\n28 DSS area offices throughout Massachusetts. The first five months of\r\nthe research program had two priorities: (1) the creation of a\r\ndictionary designed to permit maximally reliable coding of the\r\ninformation gleaned from the DSS files on these youth, and (2) coding\r\na representative sample of youth on critical variables. Overall, the\r\nresearchers requested the files of approximately 1,300 ASAP-evaluated\r\nyouth. The present sample consists of 720 cases that had been coded,\r\nchecked, and entered when data analysis began at the beginning of June\r\n2004. Variables include referral and placement history, demographic\r\ncharacteristics, critical antecedent childhood life experiences,\r\nfamilial/parental characteristics, presenting behavioral problems\r\nincluding detailed coding of sexually normative, deviant\r\n(paraphillic), inappropriate and coercive behaviors, and psychological\r\nand/or emotional symptoms.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR04308.v1", "title": "Risk Management of Sexually Abusive Youth in Massachusetts, 1998-2004"}], "identifier": "3143", "issued": "2006-01-06T00:00:00", "keyword": ["adolescents", "juvenile offenders", "risk management", "sex offenders", "sexual abuse", "sexual behavior", "youthful offenders", "youths"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2013-11-20T16:32:40", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Risk Management of Sexually Abusive Youth in Massachusetts, 1998-2004"}
