Summary/Abstract: For the perpetrator who directs the sexual act to the individual; different definitions can be made in terms of the modus operandi, the personality characteristics, the mental disorders, the repetition of the crime and the characteristics of the victim. This study aims to determine the risk factors and personality traits of adolescents who are perpetrators of sexual crimes and who are thought to be driven to crime, to examine how crime is committed or how crime history classifications are created, and to contribute to crime and behavioral sciences, penological interventions and rehabilitation initiatives by creating a different perspective. According to the results of the cases, perpetrators of sexual assault are mostly characterized as a heterogeneous group. Therefore, it is thought that reducing the perpetrators into homogeneous groups regarding their specific characteristics will facilitate the judicial process in order for the justice mechanism to function correctly.
