Abstract: The current study measured the Interpersonal Reactive Index of the juvenile violent offender group (n=214), juvenile sex offender group (n=76), and normal development adolescents group (n=213), and computed the correlations between empathy and age of the abovementioned three groups.We analyzed the implications of results for the correction of adolescent offenders. Results: (1) Juvenile violent offenders and sex offenders showed lower empathy score than the normal adolescents group; (2) Two juvenile offender groups showed no difference in the total scores of empathy; (3) The scores of empathy were not correlated with age in the first two juvenile offender groups, whereas, the score of empathy was positively correlated with age in the normal development adolescents group; (4) In correction, the targeted enhancing training should be considered for the juvenile violent offender with the level of empathy.

Key words: juvenile violent criminals; empathy; offender correction
