Donna Vandiver, along with her collague, Camille Gibson, are writing a book entitled "Juvenile Sex Offenders" which is soon to be published. The issue of juvenile sex offending is widely unexplored, and this book should be an excellent resource to future researchers interested in the subject matter.
