Description: Within the area of sex offender treatment, there is a significant body of research and treatment information on males who have committed sexual offenses. Comparatively, the research on females who have committed sexual offenses is small but growing. Although there are many similarities between males and females who have sexually offended, differences are also evident and need to be acknowledged and addressed. This webinar provides an overview of the research that has been done on this unique population. Some of the differences between male and females who engage in sexual offending behavior will be discussed. In addition, the clinical needs of these girls and their therapeutic process will be explored.
