Among those referred for adjudicative competence evaluations, a significant number involve youth with current or past charges for sexual offenses. This study examines the profiles of youth with sexual offense charges who have been referred for competence evaluations at a state psychiatric hospital for children and adolescents. Differences between the characteristics of youth with and without sexual offenses were explored, and predictors of competence opinions were examined among the subset of youth with current or prior sexual charges (juveniles with sexual offenses, or JSOs). Findings indicated that youth with sexual offenses have several demographic, cognitive, clinical, and legal differences from youth without sexual offenses. Although youth with sexual offenses were less likely to be opined competent, presence of a sexual offense was not a predictor of competence opinions after controlling for other factors. Predictors of competence among JSOs were found to be similar to those among youth referred for competence evaluations in general. Primary diagnosis of an autism\u2010related disorder was a unique predictor of being opined not competent among the JSO subgroup, but not the overall sample. Implications for practice, policy, and research are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1556-4029.14737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T07:40:07Z","timestamp":1619336407000},"page":"1829-1840","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Profiles of juveniles with sex offense charges referred for competence evaluations"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Kathryn A.","family":"Cunningham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences University of Washington Seattle WA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly L.","family":"Edyburn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education School Psychology Program Loyola University Chicago Chicago IL USA"},{"name":"Children\u2019s Equity Project Arizona State University Tempe AZ USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran","family":"Lexcen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences University of Washington Seattle WA USA"},{"name":"Child Study &amp; Treatment Center Lakewood WA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"United States Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation.
