The problem of juvenile sexual offending is well-documented (Underwood et al., 2015). Juvenile sex offenders, following arrest are adjudicated and placed in a level of care based on their risk of reoffending. In determining risk and placement, etiological factors often play a role. The current protocol for risk assessment and placement suggests that youth in incarceration settings are at higher risk than youth in residential care, although this has not been statistically explored. The current study examines group differences in etiological factors in male juvenile sex offenders placed in residential versus incarceration settings. Etiological variables of interest include attachment, depression, anxiety, hostility towards women, and cognitive distortions. Attachment as measured by the AAQ is also considered for its role as a possible moderator variable. Hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to examine the three scales of the AAQ for possible moderation between etiological factors and risk as measured by level of care. Two scales, the Angry/distress and Availability subscales significantly moderated the relationship between cognitive distortions and risk as measured by level of care. Group differences were also explored on each individual etiological factor utilizing two-tailed independent samples t-tests. Only cognitive distortions about the sexualization of women were significantly different between groups, with incarcerated youth indicating higher levels of these distortions. Findings suggest that attachment is indeed an important etiological factor when considering risk of reoffending, and, when combined with high levels of cognitive distortions, can better predict level of risk.
