摘要：
Youth adjudicated for sex offenses are frequently overridden to high-risk on general recidivism risk assessments. Little research supports this use of overrides. This study seeks to examine the extent to which those adjudicated for sex and non-sex offenses differ on recidivism rates in a sample of 1,380 sex and non-sex offending youth from a Midwestern state juvenile court. Propensity score matching was used to examine general recidivism rate differences between those adjudicated for sex and non-sex offenses. After matching youth on race, age, and eight criminogenic risk factors, youth adjudicated for sexual offenses recidivated at a significantly lower rate.
