Configura uma perturbação parafílica passível de ser diagnosticada a indivíduos que admitem livremente esta parafilia, bem como a outros que negam veementemente qualquer atração sexual por crianças com idade inferior a 13 anos. Existem pedófilos que nunca abusaram sexualmente de crianças, tal como abusadores sexuais de crianças que não são pedófilo

Abstract:

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 s

Pedophilia is one of the most misunderstood mental disorders in contemporary society.

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.

Adults with pedophilic interests are often viewed by the public as a homogenous subgroup based on what we know from those who sexually offend against children.

Abstract:

A temática da pedofilia é complexa, polêmica e emergente. A pedofilia, no entanto, não implica necessariamente no cometimento de atos abusivos contra as crianças, sendo possível que as fantasias sexuais do pedófilo jamais saiam de sua mente. Por outro lado, caso referido distúrbio sexual ultrapasse os limites do imaginário do indivíduo que dele é portador, estará configurado o abuso sexual infantil. Relevante observar que não apenas o indivíduo portador de pedofilia pratica atos que caracterizam abuso sexual infantil, mas também os denominados abusadores oportunistas ou ocasionais. Na relação

Abstract:

Academic interest in the field of child sexual abuse remained consistently high during the latter part of the twentieth century. The research undertaken at this time demonstrated the relationship between child sexual abuse and gender; that is to say that men are the primary perpetrators of the sexual victimisation of children. Given this preponderance, it is of central importance to keep the significance of gender focal. Paradoxically, it is for this very reason that gender remains significant in cases where women sexually abuse children - because they represent the minority of cases. It is th

Currently in the English speaking world adult/child sex and knowledge about it has become firmly located within a taken-for-granted 'child sexual abuse' discourse. My argument in this thesis is that despite being commonly portrayed as a singularity, the discursive arena of adult/child sex is a site of controversy and conflict, invested with meanings that differ over time and place. Child sexual abuse cannot thus be thought of as something that exists outside of the situated knowledge through which its taken-for-granted nature is brought into being and maintained.

Abstract:

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a global problem that affects children across cultures, nationalities and economic status. Under reporting of CSA is common. CSA remains a taboo issue that is sensitive to discuss, this often leads to stigma and shame. There are significant gaps in knowledge on the occurrence of CSA in Indonesia and this is reflected in fragmented and inconsistent responses. This can be seen in the literature review conducted for this thesis that found the contradictions in definitions of children within the laws have contributed to how and whether CSA cases are correctly recognised
