Just knowing who...People need to be more aware. Just knowing who's in your neighborhood can help keep your kids just a bit safer from these dirtbags.

I'm sur some 'child pornography' is exactly as claimed: a record of child abuse.<br /><br />Otoh, political discourses around the child as an object of erotic interest have led to immoderate claims as to what constitutes 'child pornography'. Fine art child nudes, naturist publications and even mainstream advertising have all been identified, if not prosecuted as 'child pornography'.<br /><br />The COPINE scale attempts to resolve these differences, and that is a positive step, but is there any attempt in the research reported here to distinguish abuse from erotica? A person convicted of crimes against children ought to be quite distinct, in both legal and public conception, from a person who expresses sexual attraction to children without causing harm.<br /><br />If the policing of child pornography proves to be indistinguishable from the assertion of a moral stance then the category of actual offending against children will also seem unreliable.<br /><br />A great shame for children who are genuine victims of sexual exploitation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-68159402035435142632011-01-02T20:29:10.128-05:002011-01-02T20:29:10.128-05:00http://sexoffenderissues.blogspot.com/<a href="http://sexoffenderissues.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sexoffenderissues.blogspot.com/</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
