abstract="Risk assessment of sexually abusive youth is a specialty, which ideally includes a clinical assessment (e.g., psychological evaluation) utilizing a validated risk assessment tool. This article reviews tools for assessing sexual improprieties and/or sexually abusive behaviors in youth: <i>JSORRAT-II, J-SOAP-II, J-RAS, AIM2</i>, and <i>MEGA</i><sup>♪,1</sup> and a clinical assessment tool, <i>MIDSA</i>. Untested, structured, clinical checklists with face validity, <i>J-RAT-4</i> and <i>PROFESOR</i>, are included. The authors also highlight clinical dilemmas using &quot;utility tools&quot; (i.e., polygraph and plethysmograph) with sexually abusive youth. The comprehensive review sustains a twenty-first-century <i>New Paradigm</i> of inclusive ecologically based, developmentally and gender-sensitive assessment tools that definitively and accurately assess risk and protective factors of sexually abusive youth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
