Abstract: The purpose of this text is to discuss the adverse conditions juvenile sexual offenders may face. In order to better understand this scenario, it is important to consider the violence suffered by this group in childhood and adolescence, added to the vulnerabilities of family, social and cultural contexts typical of disadvantaged social strata commons in countries such as Brazil. Experiencing child maltreatment increases the likelihood that an adolescent will later commit transgressive acts. An adolescent that commits a sexual offense needs to receive appropriate attention and for this it is essential to deepen the knowledge about this adolescent, considering their culture and contexts in which they are inserted. Assessing whether adolescents who have committed sexual offenses have vulnerabilities in different contexts may have a function to direct interventions to focal aspects that need greater change, preventing further violence, guaranteeing their rights and enhancing the development of these adolescents’ resources to move on.
