Full textAbstract:
Pedophiles are the most stigmatized population in society (Jahnke, Imhoff, & Hoyer, 2015; Sanghara & Wilson, 2006). Social worker’s responsibility is to maintain standards and treat individuals with dignity and respect (NASW, 2017). It is important to explore bias against pedophiles because studies have shown bias is linked to offender recidivism rates (Jahnke, Schmidt, Geradt, & Hoyer, 2015). Social workers may unintentionally inhibit pedophiles from seeking treatment if they hold strong biases against them which could potentially negatively impact child abuse rates. The purpose of this study was to identify bias reduction techniques so that they could possibly be implemented in the social work field. Experienced social workers and social work students were interviewed so that the origins of and methods to combat bias could be explored. Themes among interviewee responses were identified and the importance of Opening a Dialogue eclipsed the need to utilize bias reduction techniques.

Full textAbstract:
This study utilized a qualitative/phenomenological research methodology to study the development of child molestation. Five volunteer male juvenile perpetrators of child molestation and their consenting family members participated in three one-on-one in-depth interviews. The juveniles were referred by juvenile justice departments in Texas. The investigation was pursued along three paths: (1) what factors in the perpetrators' life experiences may have influenced the formation of molesting thought and behavior patterns? (2) how did the perpetrators construe social relationships? (3) in developing sexual preference, what process did the perpetrators utilize to achieve the degree of sexual arousal needed to motivate the act of molestation? During analysis, 16 categories and 9 subcategories were developed from the data; these were evaluated in order to address the lines of inquiry listed above. Factors contributing toward deviancy were identified: these included general environmental factors and relationship issues with both parents and peers. The data also elucidated the perpetrators' characteristic ways of viewing themselves and other people, as well as the strategies that they relied upon to cope with their lives. These same strategies were subsequently used in their molesting. The results revealed that the answers to the investigational questions posed above were synthesized by the individual across the lifespan, with origins in childhood when the concepts of self, others, social convention and interpersonal relationships were forming. It is likely that the typical interest in sexual expression that occurs at the onset of puberty was a catalyst that facilitated molesting behavior. The lack of ability to interact successfully with age mates appeared to influence the perpetrators' selection of children as targets. Recommendations were presented for consideration by the mental health and criminal justice communities based on the findings. Also, preventative measures for the public sector were offered.

Full textAbstract:
For decades, researchers have documented how stereotyping and unfair treatment affect the lives of people with stigmatized characteristics. Pedophilic sexual interests, however, have received remarkably little academic attention. This research gap should be closed for two important reasons. First of all, people with pedophilia have a particularly high risk of experiencing negative stigma-related consequences as, arguably, one of the most feared and despised groups in Germany and many other Western countries. Secondly, vulnerability factors that are hypothesized to contribute to a higher risk of sexually abusive behavior towards children (e.g., low self-esteem, emotion regulation problems, and reduced motivation to seek mental health services) are likely to be enhanced by stigma-related stress. That means that stigmatization of people with pedophilia might not only have a negative effect on members of this group but may also compromise child sexual abuse prevention.
This thesis aims at laying the much-needed groundwork for the scientific study of stigma against people with pedophilia by (1) conducting a systematic and comprehensive review of the literature on stigma against people with pedophilia, (2) assessing the prevalence and strength of public stigma against people with pedophilia compared to other despised groups, (3) developing and testing a theoretical framework for the study of stigma-related stress and associated problems among people with pedophilia, and (4) creating and evaluating an anti-stigma intervention program.
(1) Our literature review documented a lack of research on this issue as well as the need for theoretical concepts and methodological designs conceptualized specifically for this field of study.
(2) A scale to assess public stigma against people with pedophilia was designed and used to survey a sample of German pedestrians and US American workers from the Internet marketplace MTurk. A parallel set of items was employed to measure public stigma against other groups (people who abuse alcohol, sexual sadists, and people with antisocial tendencies). Results of these surveys documented people with pedophilia to be massively disadvantaged by stereotyping beliefs, negative affective reactions, and social distance, even compared to the three other stigmatized groups.
(3) To reach the third sub-goal, the author of this thesis formulated the “Framework for the Effects of Stigma-related Stress among People with Pedophilia”. It contains a set of assumptions highlighting the relationship between the stigma-related stress and the risk of child sex offending, which is assumed to be mediated by impairments in emotional and social areas of functioning, as well as cognitive distortions, and the person’s motivation to seek mental health services. The model was tested in an online sample of men with a sexual interest in children. Overall, results provided preliminary evidence for the hypotheses previously laid out.
(4) Finally, these ideas were put to practical use in the development of an anti-stigma program for psychotherapists in training that was experimentally validated online. Findings indicated that a number of stigma-related beliefs, affects, and behavioral intentions can be changed at a cost-effective level. Motivation to treat help-seeking patients with pedophilia, however, could not be increased within the sample.
In summary, this thesis shows that stigma against pedophilia is a serious and widespread problem, and offers concrete propositions to promote a more realistic and empathetic view of this group. By approaching the emotionally charged concept of pedophilia from a stigma perspective, the research presented in this thesis challenges the way in which not only people from the general public, but also scientists and health care professionals think about pedophilia, and corroborates the importance of stigma reduction within the wider context of child sexual abuse prevention.

Cacciatori, Heather. "The Lived Experiences of Men Attracted to Minors and Their Therapy-Seeking Behaviors." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3867.
Full textAbstract:
This study explored the lived experiences of men attracted to minors who believed they would benefit from therapy but did not seek out or attend therapeutic services; and sought to gain an understanding of how the decision to seek help or not impacted their well-being. Participants included 7 men who were recruited through the B4U-ACT online forum, which provides peer support for the minor attracted community. Participants were interviewed over Skype. Data from these interviews was analyzed and coded according to the interpretative phenomenological method as outlined by Smith et al. (2012). Five main themes emerged, providing insight as to why more therapeutic support is not sought. These themes include: emotional distress, consideration of therapy, actual and perceived stigmatization, expectations of therapist assumptions, expectations of professionalism, and therapeutic support.
The findings were compared with existing literature to propose ways mental health professionals can provide easier access to resources and reach the population, which can lead to societal benefits. Improved access to treatment has the potential to provide the population opportunities to better cope with stigma, manage their impulses more effectively, lower their feelings of isolation, and increase their overall well-being. This study helps to fill the current void in the area of research on help-seeking behaviors and the associated challenges that men attracted to minors may face.

Full textAbstract:
This pilot study was designed to collect and analyze a broad range of descriptive data on out-patient pedophiles. Eighteen males with at least one legally charged pedophilic offense (excluding incest) participated in the research. Seven of the subjects sexually molested a male child (homosexual pedophiles) and eleven subjects sexually molested a female child (heterosexual pedophiles).Subjects were administered the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). Subjects and their therapists also participated in a structured interview which sought data on psycho-social and offense variables.
Analysis of the MCMI results found that when profile configurations were compared, the homosexual group showed higher mean sub-scale elevations, a more cohesive pattern of sub-scale elevations, and significantly higher sub-scale scores for Passive-Aggressive personality as a feature. The heterosexual group shared Avoidant/Dependent features of personality with the homosexual group but individual profile configurations were much less homogeneous in sub-scale elevations. The analysis of the NPI results found no significant difference between the groups. A comparison of the structured interview data for the groups strongly suggests that homosexual offenders are more structured in their pedophilic interest than heterosexual offenders.
The results are discussed in relation to the validity of the fixated/regressed model for homosexual and heterosexual pedophiles, respectively. The relationship between personality, aetiology of pedophilic behavior, and offense pattern is considered. Implications and suggestions for future research are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses the problem of the assessment of child molesters. The research questions in this study specifically address the assessment of child molester personality and its relationship to demographic, personal, criminal offense, and treatment progress variables.The purpose of the study was to replicate cluster analyses done with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) in child molester populations using the revised and re-nonmed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), and also, to identify other variables that are associated with particular profile patterns in child molesters.This study examined the archival records of 91 adult male child molesters who were involved in a communitybased sexual abuse treatment program between 1990 and 1993. Information analyzed included the MMPI-2, demographic, personal, and criminal offense data obtained from the child molesters' treatment files, and therapist ratings on the Treatment Progress Rating Scale which is an 11-point scale based on behaviors that the child molester reveals in treatment.The data from the MMPI-2 scales were cluster analyzed, yielding four homogeneous profile subgroups. Three of these four subgroups closely resembled those found in earlier MMPI research with child molesters. Discriminant analysis and chi square analyses were used to examine variables that differentiated the profile groups of child molesters derived in the cluster analysis. Results indicated that the derived groups significantly differed in terms of their reported history of having been sexually abused as a child. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the Scheffe procedure revealed that child molesters with within normal limits MMPI-2 profiles were less likely to report a history of childhood sexual abuse than were child molesters with more elevated profiles. ANOVA with repeated measures was used to analyze child molester progress in treatment as a function of MMPI-2 profile group. Although the analysis revealed that significant treatment progress was made for the overall sample, the groups did not significantly differ in terms of their treatment progress.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
Child sexual abusers have typically been studied as a homogeneous group, comparing them with non-child sexual abusers. The present study was designed to examine the heterogeneity of child sexual abusers on a measure of psychopathology, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the revised version of the MMPI. MMPI-2 profiles of 106 child sexual abusers in treatment for their offenses were cluster analyzed. Three clusters were obtained from the data, suggesting that child sexual abusers are heterogeneous as measured by the MMPI-2. The clusters were F-8-7-6 (n=15), elevated 4 scale (n=29), and within normal limits (n=62). A discriminant function generated by cluster membership was able to accurately classify 98.11% of the sample.The three clusters were replicated in an independent sample (n=50) drawn from the same population. The discriminant function generated on the derivation sample was applied to the validation sample, correctly classifying 80.00% of the subjects.The mean MMPI-2 profiles for the clusters in this study did not replicate mean profiles of clusters derived from similar research using the MMPI, indicating that the two instruments may not be equivalent for use in research using multivariate statistical techniques.The three clusters were tested against amount of self-reported sexual psychopathology as measured by the Multiphasic Sex Inventory (MSI). Discriminant function analysis indicated that cluster membership did predict degree of sexual psychopathology. In essence, the more elevated the mean MMPI-2 cluster profile, the more sexual psychopathology was reported. The clusters did not differ with regard to progress in treatment (though there were definite trends toward significant group differences in the data), nor did they differ with regard to victim and offender demographics. They did, however, differ with regard to level of intelligence, with the F-8-7-6 group being significantly lower in intelligence than the other two groups.The results of this study indicate that child sexual abusers are heterogeneous with regard to their MMPI-2 profiles, and that this heterogeneity can be used to form homogeneous groups. Additionally, homogeneous groups of child sexual abusers can be expected to differ on the basis of general psychopathology and sexual psychopathology.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government-sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent. Each of these discourses firmly advocated for a separation between thought and action, recognizing the pedophiles who had not and would not harm children. The historical roots of the conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders makes an important contribution to understanding contemporary discourses on criminality, victimology, sexology, and sociology, and to the development of efforts which can more successfully reduce child sexual victimization.

A pedofilia é um tema complexo e multifacetado, que exige abordagem interdisciplinar. No que tange às ciências jurídicas, uma das questões mais importantes a serem enfrentadas diz respeito à adequação da resposta penal dada aos pedófilos condenados pela Justiça criminal brasileira. O objetivo geral da presente pesquisa é verificar como a resposta penal dada aos pedófilos judicialmente condenados pode ser mais adequada à luz do atual estado de arte da clínica. Para que o escopo principal fosse alcançado, foram formulados três objetivos específicos, quais sejam, (I) identificar os aspectos clínicos da pedofilia que são relevantes para a compreensão do fenômeno pelos operadores do Direito e que permitem uma abordagem interdisciplinar; (II) enumerar os aspectos éticos e os pressupostos desejáveis das medidas terapêuticas e das consequências jurídicas da condenação criminal dos pedófilos; e, (III) averiguar, à luz de medidas alternativas e eticamente defensáveis, novas possibilidades de resposta penal para os pedófilos judicialmente condenados. Todas as questões permitiram também a reflexão sobre a adequação e a pertinência das atuais propostas legislativas em trâmite no Congresso Nacional acerca da matéria. A abordagem não se restringe à dogmática jurídica e estabelece elos com outras áreas do conhecimento humano, notadamente com a Medicina Forense, com a Psiquiatria Forense e com a Psicologia Jurídica. Esta pesquisa pretende contribuir para o debate jurídico-penal acerca da pertinência ou não da implementação de medidas terapêuticas obrigatórias aos pedófilos judicialmente condenados, bem como oferecer subsídios para a proposição de um novo paradigma à prática forense no tocante às consequências jurídicas decorrentes da condenação criminal de pessoas com transtorno pedofílico.Pedophilia is a complex and multifaceted subject that requires an interdisciplinary approach. Regarding the juridical sciences, one of the most important issues to be faced concerns the adequacy of the criminal response given to convicted pedophiles by the Brazilian criminal justice. The general aim of this research is to verify how the criminal response given to convicted pedophiles may be more appropriate in the light of the current state of the clinic art. For the main purpose to be reached, three specific aims were formulated: (I) to identify the clinical aspects of pedophilia that are relevant to understanding the phenomenon by the Law operators and that allow an interdisciplinary approach; (II) to enumerate the ethical aspects and the desirable presuppositions of the therapeutic measures and the juridical consequences of criminal conviction of pedophiles; and (III) to examine, in the light of alternative and ethically defensible measures, new possibilities of criminal response for convicted pedophiles. All issues also allowed the reflection on the appropriateness and aptness of the current legislative proposals in course at the National Congress on the subject. The approach is not limited to law doctrine and establishes links with other areas of the human knowledge, especially with the Forensic Medicine, Forensic Psychiatry and Forensic Psychology. This research intends to contribute to the criminal legal debate about the aptness or not of the implementation of mandatory therapeutic measures to convicted pedophiles, as well as to offer subsidies for the proposal of a new paradigm to forensic practice with regard to the juridical consequences of the criminal condemnation of people with pedophilic disorder.

Full textAbstract:
Pedophilia is one of the most misunderstood mental disorders in contemporary society. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the discriminatory behaviour against people with a pedophilic disorder by the public at large, the media and current legislations; in the case of the US, the UK and Germany. The political and legal theory of Giorgio Agamben, particularly the concept of homo sacer, will be applied to this thesis, because it can serve as a theoretical foundation for understanding different aspects of the control and treatment of pedophiles as a form of punishment and discrimination. The results of the thesis show that the public and the media tend to confuse the diagnostic term of pedophilia and the legal term of child molestation, falsely assuming that all pedophiles sexually abuse children. The implemented ’anti-pedophile’ laws, oftentimes promoted by the media, can be seen as disproportionate and unfounded, resulting in discriminatory behaviour against pedophiles and the violation of human rights.

Full textAbstract:
Research on the factors underlying sex offender recidivism has not considered the importance of the reintegration process through which the offender rejoins the community after prison. This thesis reports findings from 3 empirical studies designed to explore whether poor release planning might contribute to sex offender recidivism. In Study 1, a coding protocol was developed to measure the comprehensiveness of release planning for child molesters, which included items relating to accommodation, employment, pro-social support, community-based treatment, and Good Lives Model (T. Ward & C.A. Stewart, 2003) secondary goods. The protocol was retrospectively applied to groups of recidivist and nonrecidivist graduates of a prison-based treatment programme, who were matched on static risk level and time since release. As predicted, overall release planning was significantly poorer for recidivists compared to nonrecidivists. Study 2 was a validation and extension of Study 1. The original coding protocol, and some revised items, were applied to matched groups of recidivists and nonrecidivists from a different treatment programme. Consistent with Study 1 findings, overall release planning was significantly poorer for recidivists. Data from Studies 1 and 2 were pooled (total N = 141) and Cox regressions showed that accommodation, employment, and social support planning combined to best predict recidivism, with predictive accuracy comparable to that obtained using static risk models. Study 3 investigated whether release planning was associated with actual reintegration experiences, and additionally explored released child molesters’ good lives plans. Release plans were rated for 16 child molesters, who were interviewed post-release about their reintegration experiences and good lives plans. As predicted, significant positive correlations were found between release planning and reintegration experiences 1 and 3 months following prison release, and results suggested that effective reintegration might help facilitate living a good life. Overall, results from the 3 studies suggest that poor release planning and subsequent reintegration experiences contribute to sex offender recidivism. Implications for researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and community members are discussed.

Esta tese empreende uma análise genealógica das estratégias narrativas presentes no processo de criminalização da pedofilia no Brasil. O principal foco de análise foi a produção discursiva do judiciário e da psiquiatria que constitui objetividades sobre a pedofilia e busca definir o sujeito pedófilo. Para realizar esta pesquisa, foram analisadas diversas fontes de conhecimento que formam os discursos sobre a pedofilia no Brasil e em outros países , tais como textos históricos e teóricos das ciências humanas, uma bibliografia especializada sobre o assunto, manuais prescritivos de ações de combate ao abuso sexual infantil, legislações, e a jurisprudência disponível no Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo (TJSP). Visando realizar uma história crítica do presente, foram ainda problematizadas as representações sobre a criança e o sexo, os pânicos morais em torno das sexualidades dissidentes e a fabricação de subjetividades contemporâneas.This dissertation undertakes a genealogical analysis of the narrative strategies present in the criminalization process of pedophilia in Brazil.

To accomplish this research, I analyzed the various sources of knowledge that form the discourses on pedophilia in Brazil and other countries such as historical and theoretical texts of human sciences, the specialized literature on the topic pedophilia, prescriptive manuals to prevent child sexual abuse, the legislations, and the jurisprudence available at the São Paulo Justice Court (TJSP). In order to achieve a critical history of the present, I also problematized representations about children and sex, the moral panics around dissident sexualities, and the construction of contemporary subjectivities.

Through a normative framework, the precautionary principle is applied, along with various Human Rights Conventions, as a ground in favor of the regulation. The concluding thoughts of the thesis show that the majority of arguments prove there being the possible risks of objectification, pedophilia, sexual assault, and rape, that sex robots expose women and children to, and therefore there should be a regulation of sex robots and the use of sex robots.

Full textAbstract:
Pedophilia, now termed pedophilic disorder, has been consistently defined by mental health professionals, social scientists, and historians as sexual interest in prepubescent children. In this chapter, we review evolving professional definitions of this disorder, available information regarding the prevalence of pedophilia, as well as etiological models to explain the development and manifestation of pedophilic interests. This includes considerations of historical as well as current views of how this disorder develops. Assessment strategies are reviewed, including the importance of a pretreatment psychosexual history as well as formal and structured assessment tools that are beneficial in treatment. Important treatment models for pedophilia include cognitive-behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, psychopharmacological interventions, and use of the risk-needs-responsivity framework. The chapter further describes empirical research related to recidivism and assessment of sex offender risk among those diagnosed with pedophilia, including the identification of common risk assessment tools. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of relevant policy issues and directions for future research in this important area.

Thesis (MSc (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.There is a growing need for research to facilitate a better understanding of paedophilia. This study aims to make a contribution in this regard by providing an analysis of current discourses in paedophilia research as well as a phenomenological exploration of how the male paedophile constructs his close relationships with children. Analysis reveals how the dominant positivist approach to paedophilia research embeds and perpetuates moral and often prejudicial positions that in turn influence the validity of empirical findings and theory, and tend to marginalise contradictory evidence. In an attempt to circumvent these obstacles, it is argued that the psychological need to form close relationships is a universal one.

It is important to understand the evolution that the concept of pedophilia has been suffering over the studies of several authors who clashed with key differences including psychological disorders, motivation for the crime and fantasies with minors, that distinguish the pedophile molester. The costumes will be a key point in understanding these criminal behaviors. It follows that, in fact, while the terms are used to describe the same crime, differences exist in the aggressive perpetuate and they will be of maximum intervention with a relevance of these.

Full textAbstract:
La pédophilie a valeur de monstruosité dans les sociétés occidentales actuelles. Son évocation suscite dans la population des mouvements émotionnels importants d’incompréhension, d’opprobre et de rejet. Pour autant, les révélations régulières dans les médias et la meilleure prise en compte des victimes depuis les années quatre-vingt-dix donnent un aperçu de l’ampleur du phénomène et en font un véritable sujet de société. Dans ce contexte, la prise en charge psychothérapeutique de patients pédophiles représente un véritable défi pour les professionnels, tant elle soulève des questions théoriques, techniques et éthiques. Il convient de tenter de mieux cerner la pédophilie dans sa dimension historique et de la définir au niveau juridique, psychiatrique, psychopathologique. La théorie psychanalytique offre des pistes de compréhension des enjeux internes susceptibles de conduire à l’agir pédophile. Ainsi, l’emploi de mécanismes psychiques archaïques, voire le recours à l’acte, fonctionnent comme des tentatives de survie psychique face à une situation extrême de danger ressenti comme imminent. Une telle économie est révélatrice d’une éclipse de la subjectivité. Les dispositifs de prise en charge psychothérapeutiques doivent être élaborés en tenant compte du fonctionnement psychique de ces patients, de la sauvegarde de la capacité du thérapeute, et visent la subjectivation du patient. Cinq vignettes cliniques, tirés d’une pratique de psychologue travaillant en milieu carcéral et dans une consultation ambulatoire spécialisée, viennent illustrer et enrichir les concepts théoriquesPedophilia is a monstrosity in today's Western societies. His evocation provokes in the population important emotional movements of incomprehension, opprobrium and rejection. However, regular revelations in the media and better consideration of victims since the nineties provide insight into the extent of the phenomenon and make it a real social issue.In this context, the psychotherapeutic care of pedophile patients represents a real challenge for professionals, as it raises theoretical, technical and ethical questions.We must try to better understand pedophilia in its historical dimension and define it at the legal, psychiatric, psychopathological level. The psychoanalytic theory offers ways of understanding the internal issues likely to lead to pedophile action. Thus, the use of archaic psychic mechanisms, even the resort to the act, function as attempts of psychic survival in the face of an extreme situation of danger felt as imminent. Such an economy is indicative of an eclipse of subjectivity.Psychotherapeutic management systems must be developed taking into account the psychic functioning of these patients, the safeguarding of the therapist's capacity, and aim at the subjectivisation of the patient.Five clinical vignettes, drawn from a practice of psychologist working in a prison environment and in a specialized outpatient clinic, illustrate and enrich the theoretical concepts

Full textAbstract:
En dépit d’une littérature abondante étudiant les bases cérébrales de l’excitation sexuelle chez l’homme sans trouble, celle-ci reste plus restreinte dans l’étude de la pédophilie dont les corrélats cérébraux sont encore peu connus. La présente thèse se propose d’étudier, en IRMf, les activations cérébrales de 13 pédophiles hétérosexuels et 12 pédophiles homosexuels, appariés à 24 témoins sans trouble, en réponse à des photographies d’enfants en maillot de bain (fillettes/garçons) et d’adultes (femmes/hommes) dévêtus, les stimuli contrôlent représentant des adultes et enfants habillés normalement. Les résultats montrent que les activations cérébrales des pédophiles et témoins hétérosexuels et homosexuels, en réponse à leurs stimuli préférés ne diffèrent pas. Ces activations impliquent des régions occipitales, temporales et pariétales mises en évidence dans les corrélats cérébraux de l’excitation sexuelle chez les sujets sans trouble. En accord avec les résultats de la pléthysmographie pénienne, les analyses révèlent que les pédophiles homosexuels et hétérosexuels pourraient traiter les stimuli d’enfants du genre non préféré comme sexuellement pertinents. Ces résultats s’expliqueraient par le modèle bipolaire selon lequel l’excitation sexuelle pourrait varier selon une dimension bipolaire définie par la similitude physique, où femmes et hommes adultes se situent aux extrêmes et fillettes et garçons se situent au milieuIn contrast to the numerous studies about the neural underpinnings of normal sexual motivation, brain correlates of pedophilia are still largely unknown. The present thesis aimed to identify functional networks involved in pedophile sexual arousal. Therefore, we investigated with fMRI the activation profile of 13 heterosexual and 12 homosexual pedophiles, compared to each other and to 24 matched healthy subjects, in response to visual sexual stimuli depicted adult (women/men) and child (girls/boy) wearing swimsuits, while neutral ones depicted ordinarily dressed adult and dressed children. Results showed that brain responses of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles were not statistically different from those of matched healthy subjects, in response to their respective preferred stimuli. They were located in occipital, temporal and parietal brain areas known to be involved in sexual arousal in healthy subjects. In the line of penile plethysmographic studies, analysis also showed that homosexual and heterosexual pedophiles may process non preferred child stimuli as relevant sexual stimuli. This could be explained by a bipolar dimension of morphological similarity, on which children are located near the middle, and adult men and women are located at opposite ends

O fenômeno da “pedofilia” tem sido objeto de acirradas controvérsias na arena pública das reivindicações e vem, rotineiramente, alcançando cada vez mais espaço nos meios de comunicação de massa (mídia), no mundo dos poderes e saberes, no seio da sociedade em geral, despertando, na maioria esmagadora das pessoas, sentimentos de repulsa, ódio e vingança em relação aos chamados “pedófilos”, tendo em vista o alvo da prática sexual: crianças e adolescentes. O escopo desta pesquisa não é fazer uma avaliação sobre aquilo que é moralmente certo ou errado em matéria de “pedofilia”, mas, sob a perspectiva do referencial teórico adotado, o construcionismo social, analisar de que maneira se deu, especificamente no caso brasileiro, a passagem da “pedofilia” enquanto problema social para a “pedofilia” como um problema público, constituindo a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito da Pedofilia, instalada e conduzida por uma comissão de senadores brasileiros entre os anos de 2008 e 2010, o ponto alto desta viragem, podendo ser compreendida como o mecanismo de grande audiência que revestiu o problema da “pedofilia” com roupagens, significados e formas de verdade no cenário brasileiro.
The phenomenon of “pedophilia” has been subject to tough controversies in the public arena of claims and has been continuously achieving a bigger space in mass communication means (media), in the world of knowledge and power and within society in general. It awakens, in the crushing majority of people, feelings of repulse, hate and vengeance in regards to the so-called “pedophiles”, considering their object of sexual practice: children and teenagers. The scope of this research is not to evaluate what is morally right or wrong regarding “pedophilia”, but to analyze, under the perspective of the chosen theoretic referential, the social constructionism, how the passage of “pedophilia” from social problem to public problem happened, specifically in the Brazilian context, constituting the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry of Pedophilia, installed and conducted by a commission of Brazilian senators through the years of 2008 and 2010, the high point of this passage, possibly being comprehended as the mechanism of great audience which gave the problem of “pedophilia” its true meanings and forms in the Brazilian setting.

Full textAbstract:
The present study focuses on the caring of patients who have sexually abused children. To do research in a field that has been considered taboo has not been without problems. The conclusive factor for the decision to carry out the research was the fascinating and interesting paradox that, in spite of the caregivers having a mandate from the judicial system to do care for these patients, they do not understand how this care is to be given. The understanding of what caring for these patients can entail is based on the perspectives of the lifeworld of both the patients and the caregivers. The theoretical perspective in this dissertation is that of the caring sciences while the epistemological framework is phenomenology. Research data consist of qualitative interviews. The aim of the first study is to describe the patients’ suffering, and the aim of the second study is to describe the caregivers’ experiences of caring for these patients. The essential meaning of the suffering felt by the patients is described in terms of the patients’ acknowledgement and then betrayal of their yearning to be part of a close human fellowship. The meaning structure of “caring”, can be understood as being lost in an obscure and unknown landscape. It challenges the caregivers and occasionally arouses strongly unpleasant but also strongly threatening feelings. However when the caregivers gain clarity on how to care they are able to find their caring courage and hope, even for these patients. The findings thus show that caring for patients who themselves do not see any opportunity of taking a place among other adults is a great challenge. The study also shows that the support that is needed to be successful in caring for these patients is a caring culture that can permeate both patients and caregivers. These patients, whose criminal acts appear to be bizarre and strange, need to learn to be able to bear their suffering without losing their humanity. The philosophical intermediate chapter shows that it is the body image of the patients that prevents them from becoming whole, i.e. existing fully, by it playing the existential drama that leads to sexual abuse. It appears from this dissertation that in order for caring to be able to relieve the suffering felt by these patients, and thus prevent them from further abuse of children, then it is important as a caregiver to be able to allow the patients just to “be”. The research also shows that in order for caregivers to be able to understand what they receive from the patients they need support from both caring science and existential reflections. Such methods can help to clarify caring and to give possibilities for a freer and more creative thinking. Encountering and understanding different lifeworlds is necessary in order to give care based on a caring perspective. The patient group in the present study have been able to demonstrate this in a clearer way than has previously been done.

Previous issue date: 2011-06-30The aim of this master's research is to understand the contemporary discourses on the subject of child sexual abuse. Building on the conceptual assumptions of Discourse Analysis, especially those developed by the French linguist Dominique Maingueneau, we try to understand the Discursive Formation constitution through texts of different genres and media. With the theoretical framework of the French linguist, was possible to follow some of the theoretical and methodological paths that led us to develop the desired study. Among these contributions, it is the concept of Constitutional Discourse, as it was the one in which self-legitimation and others ways of legitimation among discourses occur in the position by displacement and registration of their speakers in their act of stating this type of discourse. Besides, we mobilized the notion of Topic Discourse as one that can not give yourself a purpose of validation, constantly used in another discourses in order to legitimize itself, including the constituents. But the Non- Topic Discourse (Atopic) is the discourse without place, something on the order of the Paratopy (which belongs to the social space, but denies it), in which the production and circulation tend to be most often impassable. Although there is similarity in the way of belonging, it seems that, for this author, is more likely to find the Topic and Paratopic Discourses together on one side and the Non-Topic (Atopic) Discourse into another, as if we erased the existence of these discourses was made it impossible inside the first textuality discursive with the other two. Equipped with these concepts, we develop a first time reading of the corpus, in which we try to find the types of discourses marks in the texts that comprise it. From this methodological procedure, we selected the corpus in question some texts from the years 2002 to 2008, which was composed mostly as to what Maingueneau identifies as a Topics Discourses, and in this corpus we try to find regularities through which the discourses and Non-Topic (Atopic) constituents could subscribe to this. The recovery process of the Component Discourse by Topic Discourse could then be through the citation of voices in positions of authority. It was also possible to note that the Non-Topic (Atopic) Discourse even being denied as a discourse , can be reflected in the Topic Discourse and to give their brands through the images. So, to answer these hypotheses, from a discursive look, constituted the focus of this dissertation.
Esta pesquisa de mestrado tem como objetivo compreender os discursos contemporâneos formados acerca da temática do abuso sexual infantil. Partindo dos pressupostos conceituais da Análise do Discurso, sobretudo os elaborados pelo linguista francês Dominique Maingueneau, buscamos compreender a constituição das Formações Discursivas por meio de textos de diferentes gêneros e suportes. Com os aportes teóricos do linguista francês, nós pudemos seguir alguns dos caminhos teórico- -metodológicos que nos conduziram a desenvolver o pretendido estudo. Entre esses aportes, encontra-se o conceito de Discurso Constituinte, como aquele em que autolegitimação e a heterolegitimação no interdiscurso se dão pelo posicionamento, deslocamento e inscrição de seus locutores em seu ato de enunciar nesse tipo de discurso. Além disso, mobilizamos a noção de Discurso Tópico como aquele que não consegue dar a si mesmo um efeito de validação, recorrendo constantemente a outros discursos para poder se legitimar, inclusive ao constituintes. Já o Discurso Atópico é o discurso sem lugar, algo da ordem paratópica (que pertence ao espaço social, mas o nega), em que a produção e a circulação tendem na maioria das vezes serem inter ditadas. Ainda que exista semelhança no modo de pertencimento, parece-nos que, para este autor, é mais provável encontrar os discursos tópico e paratópico juntos de um lado e o discurso atópico em um outro, como se a existência apagada destes discursos impossibilitasse a intertextualidade discursiva do primeiro com os outros dois. Tendo em mãos esses conceitos, procuramos desenvolver um primeiro momento de leitura do corpus, no qual tentamos encontrar marcas dos tipos de discursos nos textos que o compõem. A partir desse procedimento metodológico, selecionamos do corpus em questão alguns textos dos anos de 2002 a 2008, compostos na sua maioria ao que Maingueneau determinada como Discursos Tópicos, e procuramos encontrar por meio de quais regularidades os discursos constituintes e atópicos poderiam inscrever-se neste. O processo de recuperação do discurso constituinte (paratópico) pelo discurso tópico poderia, então, acontecer por meio da citação de vozes que ocupam lugares de autoridade. Também foi possível notar que o discurso atópico, mesmo sendo um discurso negado, pode se refletir no discurso tópico e suas marcas se dão por meio das imagens. Portanto, responder a essas hipóteses, a partir de um olhar discursivo, constituiu-se o enfoque desta dissertação.

Pedofiler begår inte alltid sexuella övergrepp och de som begår sexuella övergrepp är inte alltid pedofiler. Det är viktigt att som professionell kunna skilja på person och handling.

The study answers the question of how pedophilia is described in both the literature, by professionals as well as social media and news media. The study also highlights the hatred and shame that is strongly associated with pedophilia. The study's main findings is that news media and social medias image of pedophiles as equivalent to perpetrators of child sexual abuse is not consistent with what the literature and the professionals say. Pedophiles do not always commit sexual abuse and those who commit sexual abuse are not always pedophiles. It is important as a professional to distinguish between person and action. Further, the results of the study show that pedophilia is a complex sexually deviant preference that requires multiple perspectives to be explained and understood.

Full textAbstract:
Given that the Affinity 2.0 is a largely untested instrument that purports to measure sexual attraction, it was unknown whether or not the instrument is temporally stable and would provide a characteristic response curve for normal heterosexual male sexual interest. This study examined the Affinity 2.0, a newly standardized viewing time (VT) instrument that purports to measure sexual interest. More specifically, the Affinity 2.0 was examined in regard to its temporal stability and ability to generate a characteristic curve for non-pedophilic, exclusively heterosexual male interests. This examination was carried out by administering the Affinity 2.0 twice on a sample of 88 self-reportedly non-pedophilic, exclusively heterosexual men. The results of this study find the Affinity 2.0 to be mildly to moderately temporally stable and capable of rendering a characteristic sexual interest curve. Subjects created a typical profile that showed longest viewing time to images of adult and juvenile females with low viewing times to all other categories of attractors. Implications for norm-referenced decision making are discussed.

Previous issue date: 2012-02-28To characterize the emotional and behavioral profile of adolescents and adults accused of child sexual abuse. Also we aimed to identify their criminal history. METHOD: It s a retrospective descriptive study, based on official records from a special service (interviews, psychological tests protocols and psychosocial appraisal). The subjects of the study were all the suspects of child sexual abuse forwarded between 2002-2010 to a specialized Center in the Southern Brazil. Moreover, information was also collected from the Justice System available records. RESULTS: It was found that the majority were adults (60%), had completed the eighth grade (82,9%) and sustain themselves (54,5%). Mostly made one victim (85%), between 6 and 11 years old (41%) that was female (69%). On the records was found registries and indicators of impulsive, aggressive and controller behavior as well as emotional insecurity and dependence. CONCLUSION: The results indicate, between the suspects, characteristics commonly identified in sex offenders. Prevention and treatment strategies must go forward the sex offender mental health and, principally avoid further victimizations
OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o perfil emocional e comportamental de adolescentes e adultos suspeitos de praticar abuso sexual, bem como, identificar o respectivo histórico criminal. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo, de caráter descritivo baseado na análise dos prontuários, contendo entrevistas, protocolos de testes psicológicos e pareceres psicossociais. Os sujeitos do estudo foram todos os suspeitos de terem cometido abuso sexual, encaminhados entre os anos de 2002 e 2010, a um serviço especializado, no sul do Brasil. Foram ainda colhidas informações junto às certidões de antecedentes criminais e/ou processos judiciais. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que a maioria eram adultos (60%), do sexo masculino (99,3%), da cor branca (60,3%), estudaram até o ensino fundamental completo (82,9%) e tinham renda própria (54,5%). A maioria abusou de uma vítima (85%), com idade entre 6 e 11 anos (41%) e do sexo feminino (69%). Nos prontuários haviam registros e indicadores de comportamento impulsivo, agressivo e controlador; insegurança afetiva e dependência emocional. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados apontaram, entre os suspeitos, características comumente encontradas em agressores sexuais. Estratégias de prevenção e tratamento devem buscar a saúde mental do abusador sexual e, sobretudo, evitar mais vitimizações

In this essay, I analyze Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita from an ecocritical perspective. I try as far as possible to ignore the pedophile theme and instead focus on the thematic environment: nature, places and language. I then discuss this with Greg Garrard's Ecocriticism, Timothy Morton's ecocritical theories and Leo Marx's The machine in the garden, among others. I come to the conclusion that the pedophile theme is depicted against the American pastoral, which is also used as a rhetorical tool by the novel's main character and narrator.I den här uppsatsen analyserar jag Vladimir Nabokovs roman Lolita ur ett ekokritiskt perspektiv. Jag försöker så långt som möjligt bortse från det pedofila temat och i stället riktas mitt fokus på den tematiska omgivningen: naturen, platserna och språket. Detta diskuterar jag sedan med hjälp av bland annat Greg Garrards Ecocriticism, Timothy Mortons ekokritiska teorier samt Leo Marxs The machine in the garden. Jag kommer fram till att det pedofila temat skildras mot den amerikanska pastoralen, vilken också används som retoriskt redskap av romanens huvudkaraktär och berättare.

Through the collection and analysis of negotiations surrounding the gay magazine Destroyer, the intention of this paper is to identify norms of sexuality within a contemporary sex-radical discourse. These negotiations are collected from interviews with individuals whom, at the time of the inter-view, consider themselves or their politics sex-radical. In order to allow for a more general under-standing of the context in which these negotiations have come about, material about Swedish law is also included in this text, together with the interview material, and serves as a base for analysis through the application of Gayle Rubin’s theory on the hierarchical value system of sexuality.
Following, are the main themes throughout the paper: The meaning of the context; Sexualized children; The possibility to (not) participate: differences of power; The decision whether or not to sell the publication and The position of the pedophile and crossgenerational love/sexuality within the LGBTQ community.
Key words: sex radicalism, pornography, boy-love, kiddy porn, pedophilia, Destroyer, Gayle Rubin.

Full textAbstract:
This study used the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III to examine the relationship of psychopathology and victim selection of young adult pedophiles convicted of Penal Code 288 (a). The sample consisted of 64 felons, aged 18 to 24, incarcerated at the California Youth Authority. Significant differences were not discovered between the group means of male or female victims or between familial and non-familial victims. Individual scale elevations above the Base Rate of 75 were significant between the groups. Depressive traits were reported for pedophiles who had both male and female victims and Dependent traits for only male victims. Incest offenders reported both Self-Defeating traits and problems associated with Drug Dependence. Non-familial offenders reported Paranoid personality traits. The results suggest that pedophilic interest is characterized by an independent, active, and defensive personality and also by a passive, dependent, drug dependent personality style, all contributing to molest potential. This group of pedophiles can be considered heterogeneous and cannot be characterized by any one diagnostic category.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorO presente estudo teve como objetivo primordial investigar as representações que os pedófilos possuem sobre si e suas vítimas. Para tanto, interrogamo-nos em que medida houve ou não a instauração do sentimento de culpa. Foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa, com base no referencial teórico da psicanálise; ao mesmo tempo, outras perspectivas teóricas, como a psiquiatria, neurologia, psicologia e direito, também foram utilizadas para enriquecer as discussões. A pesquisa contou com a participação de três indivíduos, um acusado e dois sentenciados pelo crime de pedofilia. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Psicodiagnóstico de Rorschach, aplicado e analisado de acordo com Cícero Vaz, e um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. A dissertação está dividida em três artigos, sendo um teórico e dois empíricos. O primeiro consta de uma retrospectiva histórica sobre a temática da pedofilia. Salientamos o trabalho da CPI da Pedofilia, como também a inexistência de ações públicas direcionadas ao tratamento dos pedófilos. O segundo abordou um dos participantes, no qual foi observada a existência do sentimento de culpa. Desse modo, foi indagado em que medida o sentimento de culpa, quando transformado em responsabilização, poderia ser um fator de favorecimento no processo de ressocialização. No terceiro, foram abordados os outros dois casos nos quais investigamos as peculiaridades de cada um. Os resultados mostram que não foi encontrada uma marca ou perfil segundo o qual possamos definir o que é o pedófilo, ou seja, não encontramos uma configuração subjetiva específica entre aqueles que são acusados e/ou condenados por abuso sexual tal qual aparece nas definições clínicas psiquiátricas
This study had as aim to investigate pedophiles representations about themselves and their victims. In this way, we question whether there was or not an instauration of the guilt feeling. A qualitative method was used based on psychoanalysis and other theoretical references, such as psychiatry, neurology, psychology and law, which contributed to enrich discussion. Three people participated in the research, one accused and two condemned for pedophilia. The Rorschach Psychodiagnostic Test, under Cícero Vazs perspective, and a semi-structured interview were used. The research is divided into three papers, one theoretical and two empirical ones. The first paper is a historical retrospective on pedophilia. We highlight the work of the Pedophilia CPI, as well as the lack of public actions for this matter. The second paper regards one of the participants, in whom the guilt feeling was observed. In this way, we question to what extent the guilt feeling, when transformed in accountability, could favor the process of resocialization. The other two cases were studied in the third paper, in which we investigate the functioning of the denial mechanism. Results show that there is no mark or profile to define what is a pedophile, in other words, we have not found a specific subjective configuration among those who are accused and/or condemned by sexual abuse, such as it appears in clinical classical definitions

Full textAbstract:
The criminal files of 101 high-risk recidivating rapists, pedophilic child molesters, and mixed offenders were subjected to grounded theory analysis. Seven implicit theories (ITs) of Ward’s (2000) Implicit Theory Model (ITM) that underlie the beliefs, desires, and motives for sexual offending were identified: (a) uncontrollability, (b) entitlement, (c) women as sexual objects, (d) women are dangerous, (e) children as sexual beings, (f) nature of harm, and (g) dangerous world comprised of Factor 1 (revenge) and Factor 2 (children are trustworthy companions). Chi-square analyses further revealed that all sexual offender types held strong feelings of entitlement, rapists and mixed offenders shared similar prevalence rates for the women as sexual objects IT, and pedophilic child molesters and mixed offenders held similar prevalence rates for the uncontrollability and nature of harm ITs. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) analyses also showed that although rapists were more likely to believe that women were dangerous, and pedophiles were more likely to believe that children were sexual beings, the ITM is more accurate at classifying sexual offenders who do not hold these ITs, indicating the model’s strong specificity. Finally, grounded theory revealed that the ITs of the ITM clustered into four motivations to sexually offend: (a) sexual, (b) aggressive, (c) sadistic and (d) intimacy. Rapists were found to be the most sadistically motivated, whereas mixed offenders were predominantly sexually motivated, and pedophilic child molesters were largely driven by a need for intimacy. The implications for treatment, predicting risk for sexual recidivism, and the ITM’s utility in assisting in offender profiling techniques are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Les violences sexuelles perpétrées sur les enfants conduisent de plus en plus d’hommes en prison. Les interventions institutionnelles sur ces questions rappellent fortement l’indignité qui frappe ces individus-là : lourdeur des peines prononcées, surveillance et rétention de sûreté, par exemple. À partir de données issues d’une recherche empirique, j’analyse comment s’organise la société contemporaine par rapport à ce type de comportement. Le travail de terrain se déroule principalement par entretiens. D’abord avec des détenus condamnés pour ces faits. Puis avec des agents de détention (psychologues, psychiatres, conseillers d’insertion et de probation, surveillants, et juge de l’application des peines). Enfin avec des agents chargés de la prévention et de la répression : des gendarmes spécialisés sur les auditions de mineurs victimes (brigade de prévention) et des gendarmes enquêteurs spécialisés sur la traque de « pédophiles » sur Internet (brigade territoriale et de recherche). L’analyse des discours recueillis permet d’identifier les processus qui co-construisent la pluralité des points de vue. Et de comprendre comment les rapports de force se constituent autour de la question des comportements de violence sexuelle sur les enfants aujourd’hui. Aux résultats, il apparaît une lutte des représentations entre les différents agents rencontrés et les condamnés autour de la figure du « pédophile ». Les analyses de ces représentations croisées permettent d’expliquer, notamment, dans quelle mesure la force des dispositifs de prise en charge des condamnés affecte leurs capacités d’agir et déclenche, chez eux, une aspiration profonde à entrer dans l’espace du légitime et du « normal »Sexual violence on children lead more and more men in prison. Institutional responses to these questions are strongly reminiscent of the indignity that affects those people: heaviness of the sentences, surveillance and preventive detention for example. Based on data from an empirical research, I wish to understand how modern society is organized in relation to such behavior. The field work mainly takes place through interviews. First with prisoners convicted for those facts.And then with detention officers (psychologists, psychiatrists, councilors of rehabilitation and probation, supervisors, judge of the sanctions application). Finally with agents responsible of repression: specialized Gendarmes on the hearings of juvenile victims (prevention squad) and specialized investigators Gendarmes on the hunt of "pedophiles" on the Internet (Territorial and Research Brigade).The analysis of obtained speeches allows to identify the processes that co-construct the plurality of viewpoints. And to understand how power relations are constituted around the question of sexual violence behaviors on children today. To the results, it appears a struggle between different representations of agents met and the convicted around the profile of "pedophile".The analyzes of these mutual perceptions permits to explain, in particular, how the strength of the devices support of the condemned affects their ability to act and initiates in them, a deep desire to enter the space of legitimate and the "normal"

A dissertação analisa a questão dos limites ao poder estatal de interferência por meio do Direito Penal na vida dos cidadãos quando em jogo elementos de sua esfera íntima, mais precisamente, o exercício da sexualidade humana. Sob o pano de fundo do exame dos diversos aspectos jurídicos relacionados à pornografia infantil, o estudo busca verificar de que forma os discursos do combate ao abuso infantil e da luta contra a pedofilia podem estar ancorados em critérios meramente moralizantes, dando guarida à criação de tipos penais desprovidos de legitimidade. Parte-se de uma abordagem introdutória a respeito da relação entre Direito e Moral incluídas aí as noções de moral social e moral sexual , trazendo um retrato da evolução da matéria até a forma liberal de disciplinar o assunto, sem a influência de tabus religiosos ou éticos. A despeito da tentativa de mudança de paradigmas do chamado Direito Penal Sexual, com o abandono de antigos critérios de tutela do pudor público e a introdução da noção de dignidade sexual, assentada na autodeterminação sexual, a disciplina jurídicopenal da pornografia infantil vem sendo objeto de patente recrudescimento nas últimas décadas. Com o advento da rede mundial de computadores, a tendência internacional de combate aos crimes cibernéticos levou o legislador brasileiro a editar a Lei n.º 11.829/09, que alterou o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), para aumentar penas, criar novos tipos penais e incriminar todos os elos da cadeia da produção pornográfica infantil, incluindo as condutas de mera aquisição/posse de material pornográfico infantil real (artigo 241-B) e a pseudopornografia infantil (artigo 241-C). O trabalho analisa até que ponto essas incriminações seriam justificáveis para o fim invocado, visto que, no caso da modalidade simulada, por exemplo, estão ausentes critérios de exclusiva proteção de bens jurídicos, lesividade e ofensividade, reclamados pelo Direito Penal do Fato. Ao final, a figura do pedófilo merecerá um exame específico, apoiado em conceitos médico-científicos, a fim de delimitar qual seria a melhor maneira político-criminal de abordar os portadores dessa parafilia (pena ou tratamento).This dissertation analyzes the issues regarding the limits of the states power in interfering by means of Criminal law in the lives of citizens, when elements of his/her intimate plane are at stake, more precisely, the exercise of human sexuality. In the background of the examination of several legal aspects regarding child pornography, the study seeks to verify by which form speeches of combating child abuse and the fight against pedophilia might be anchored by merely moralizing criteria, and in turn supporting the creation of crimes lacking legitimacy. Starting off with an introductory approach regarding the relation between Law and morality here including the notions of social and sexual morality -, and bringing forth a portrait of the evolution of the subject even in its liberal form of disciplining the subject, without the influence of taboos be them religious or ethic. Despite the attempted change in paradigms called Sexual Criminal Law, with the abandonment of old criteria of tutelage of public shame and the introduction of the notion of sexual dignity, based on sexual selfdetermination, the judiciary criminal discipline of child pornography has been subject of manifest recrudescence in the last decades. In the dawn of worldwide net of computers, the international tendency of cyber-crime fighting has led the Brazilian legislator to edit the Law n.° 11.829/09, that altered the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), to raise punishment, and create new crimes and incriminate al the links of the child pornography production chain, including those who merely acquire the true pornographic material (article 24-B) and pseudo child pornography (article 241-C). This presentation analizes up to what point these incriminations would be justifiable for the invoked end, since, in she simulated mode, for instance, the criteria of exclusive protection of the legal interest are absent, prejudice and offensiveness, claimed by the Factual Criminal Law. Finaly, the figure of the pedophile deserves a more specific examination, supported by medical scientific concepts, to bound which would be the best political-criminal way to address the carrier of this paraphilia (penalty or treatment).
