couple of questions for the listserv.&nbsp; I am currently working with a
number of young men referred to our agency who have engaged in molesting young
victims&#8212;both family and non-family.&nbsp; I am curious to know what
research is available regarding the following issues:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for sexually maladaptive youth who successfully complete treatment designed to
address their sexually acting out behavior?&nbsp; What factors are most
relevant to address in lowering that rate?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

documenting the recidivism rate of youth who do not complete sex offender
treatment?&nbsp; For example, what would the rate be for kids who are simply
incarcerated and not treated compared to a treatment group?&nbsp; Or what is
the recidivism rate of kids who participate in some form of generic residential

maladaptive youth?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

literature indicating that treatment for sexually maladaptive youth loses its
