Preventing Child Sexual Abuse And Juvenile Offending Through Parental Monitoring, Kelly E. Stewart
Preventing Child Sexual Abuse And Juvenile Offending Through Parental Monitoring, Kelly E. Stewart
Dissertations and Theses

Data for this study is taken from a larger investigation which included 854 identified adolescent and adult CSA offenders from nine different states. A 2 X 2 MANCOVA analysis revealed …

In addition to analyzing recidivist patterns, the study attempted to identify which variables were associated with subsequent recidivist and non-recidivist behavior and relate those findings to previous studies in the literature.
