From the Paper:

" Juvenile sex offenders present a special problem for those who are charged with housing them for a variety of reasons. Juvenile sex offenders are often victims as well as offenders therefore it is important that both angles of their issues be addressed. Figuring out where and how to house a juvenile sex offender is a difficult task as they must be separated from potential victims, while it is also important to try and work with them for the purpose of rehabilitation. Further complicating the issue is the fact that juveniles cannot be housed in prisons with adults. While there are several options for the housing of juvenile sex offenders it is important to choose the right one based on each juvenile's particular circumstances. "
