The Good Lives and Self-Regulation Models have often been used to understand and rehabilitate adult sexual offenders, but (unfortunately) there is scant research on youth who sexually offended using these models. The present study aims to describe the different primary goods that are associated with youth sexual offending behaviors in an Asian context. In addition, the study sought to explore whether the age of victim (child vs. nonchild) and nature of sexual offense (penetrative vs. nonpenetrative) influenced the youth\u2019s engagement in offense pathways. The results suggest that pleasure, relatedness, and inner peace were the primary human goods that were most sought after by a sample of 168 youth who sexually offended in Singapore. In addition, offender classification (in relation to the age of victim and nature of sexual offense) influenced the pathways to sexual offending. Therefore, these findings have important clinical implications for assessment, management, and intervention planning for youth who sexually offended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063213499188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,19]],"date-time":"2013-09-19T03:56:58Z","timestamp":1379563018000},"page":"151-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Youth Who Sexual Offended"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Chi Meng","family":"Chu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore"},{"name":"Monash University, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li Lian","family":"Koh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Teoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1079063213499188","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063211420449"},{"key":"bibr2-1079063213499188","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.54.5.317"},{"key":"bibr3-1079063213499188","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063208325202"},{"key":"bibr4-1079063213499188","first-page":"97","volume":"4","author":"Becker J.
