Notes:	" Identifying the pathways that can contribute to offending behaviour can be useful to reduce offending and inform treatment development and improve therapeutic targeting for those who have offended. There are also some grounds for thinking that Aboriginal pathways might be different to those of non-Aboriginal offenders. This is because Australian Aboriginals face many additional adversities emanating from the experience of disadvantage, prejudice and ongoing genocidal pressures. In post-colonial societies, indigenous communities are generally overrepresented in both victim and offender populations. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, where this study was conducted, this includes sexual offending, despite strong taboos against such behaviours within the Aboriginal community. The current study attempted to identify the key pathways into sexual offending for juveniles in general, and to see if the Aboriginal population of young sexual offenders differed in any way.
