Children & Sexual Offences; Management Systems for Repeat Young Sex Offenders

In 2002 the Children's Rights Project at the Community Law Centre commissioned research on the incidence of children committing sexual offences in South Africa. A research report was completed that analyses some custody, arrest and reporting trends in relation to children and sexual offences.

When SAYStOP undertook to research potential management systems for repeat sex offenders, the discussion document appearing in this publication, it was decided to include the 2002 research and have one publication covering both pieces of research as both contain information pertinent to the issue of management of young sex offenders in South Africa.
