Topic > Sex Offender Characteristics - 723
Sex offenders come in all races, ages, genders, socioeconomic statuses, and mental health statuses (CSG, n.d.). According to CSOM (n.d.) many scholars do not take age, gender, and socioeconomic status into consideration when it comes to criminal behavior itself, however many scholars look at factors that may have caused these deviant sexual behaviors. These theories or factors are attachment, sociocultural, intimacy, behavioral, and biological (CSOM, n.d.). It is also worth noting that the difference between youth and adults is the recidivism rate. According to CSOM (n.d.), juveniles are more likely to reoffend than adult sex
