| Abstract | This exploratory study compares the demographics, victim characteristics, and offenses o f adolescent sexual offenders in Northern British Columbia to those o f adolescent sexual offenders in the literature. Specifically, the case files of 95 male clients referred to the Northern Clinic o f Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services (YFPS) between 2002 and 2005 for sexual offender assessment or treatment were systematically reviewed. The figures from this study were then compared to those in the literature, including those o f a similar study conducted at the Burnaby YPFS clinic, with the use of chi-square analyses, descriptive statistics, and analyses o f variance. Similarities and differences between the adolescent sexual offenders in this study, the Burnaby study, and those in the literature are discussed, with a focus on within-group ethnic comparisons. The results support the development o f a specialized treatment model and culturally-sensitive service delivery plan for adolescent sexual offenders in the northern region of British Columbia.
