A meta-analysis was conducted to analyze recidivism rates and assess the role of antisociality and sexual deviancy in sexual reoffending in juvenile sex offenders. The importance of these constructs is discussed with regard to current theory and in light of methodological and conceptual limitations of previous studies.
