A treatment concept for sexual delinquents convicted and referred to psychiatric treatment in accordance with Section 63 of the German Penal Code, has been worked out at the Psychiatric Hospital in Weissenau. Among the manifold therapeutic measures, group therapy was found to be of paramount importance. The members of the group are described in detail according to their social characteristics, type of offence, psychiatric diagnoses, and major personality traits. Therapies derived from these basis conditions, with the corresponding therapeutic aims, are presented and discussed. At the conclusion of the article, catamnestic data are given of 18 sexual delinquents dismissed since 1978. 14 Patients were dismissed; 2 of these subsequently committed criminal offences, which, however, were not sexual offences; 2 patients each were transferred to another hospital or returned to prison.

Despite an increased risk of committing and experiencing violence among adolescent boys, little is known about either how different types of violence co-occur within individuals or their association with different risk factors. This study used a person-centered approach to (1) identify patterns in boys' perpetration and victimization across a range of 7 types of interpersonal violence (bullying, electronic aggression, sexual harassment/aggression; and psychological/ physical/sexual dating violence); and (2) examine the association of these patterns with 12 risk factors at the individual, relational, and community level to inform future prevention efforts. We used latent class analysis to identify patterns of violence among a diverse sample of 239 adolescent boys from 12 schools in 4 regions of the United States.
