Evaluation of the AIM Framework for the Assessment of Adolescents
By Helen Griffin, Youth Justice Trust Anthony Beech, University of Birmingham, 2004
The language used in this report to refer to young people with sexually harmful
behaviours is consistent with the current emphasis on labelling behaviours as opposed
to the young person. At times ‘young people who have sexually abused’ is used –
terminology in keeping with that used within the Criminal Justice System.
