Efforts to classify sexual offending and offenders continued to evolve over the years based on criteria such as offender and victim characteristics, offender-victim relationships, the nature of sexual offenses, and other situational factors. This current study draws up a typology of sexual offending against minors based on 436 adjudicated rape and child molestation cases in China. Specifically, sexual offending against minors is classified into six major categories, including opportunistic offenses, serial offenses, dating couple offenses, educator abuses, gang/party offenses, and incest offenses. Based on this empirical typology, a number of crime prevention measures are suggested. These suggestions aim at involving multiple players and institutions to focus on education, target hardening, and crime investigation. This study makes a significant contribution to comparative studies in this field, and the results could be potentially applied in other cultures.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial transorbital penetrating injury (TOPI) can be difficult to manage, potentially leading to neurovascular issues and infections, with low-speed injuries usually causing less harm than high-speed ones.
- A case study described a 19-year-old man who suffered a low-speed TOPI but showed partial recovery without the need for surgery, despite some neurological issues.
- The report emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach for diagnosing and managing such injuries, as well as the utility of medical imaging in understanding the trajectory of the penetrating object.
