Cornelia (2012By analyzing nine offender characteristics, four victim characteristics and six offense characteristics, the best evidence was found for the victim age based type. The co-offender status and the crime history types were less well supported. However, all three types were related to each other and did not provide a comprehensive characterization of JSO. Therefore, an additional principal component analyses was performed searching for basic dimensions of juvenile sexual delinquency and leading to the following factors: "single offender with severe molestation of a related child", "persistent general delinquent with migrant background", "older offender with alcohol use and familial constraints", "multiple and aggressive offender with social adversities" and "offender with unselected and multiple victims". These five dimensions reflect different relevant factors of sexual offending behavior in male juveniles and may have further impact on forensic and clinical practice.
