Abstract
Pedophilia is an obsession with children as sex objects. Overt acts, including taking sexual explicit photographs, molesting children, and exposing one's genitalia to children are all crimes. The problem with these crimes is that pedophilia is also treated as a mental illness, and the pedophiles are often released only to repeat the crimes or escalate the activity to the level of murder. This caused for the victims, in this case the children, and their families to feel insecure as there are still chances that the culprit is still targeting them. And there is also the physical and mental trauma that the children suffer as a result of the illicit act. Therefore pedophilia should be addressed seriously as the lives of children are at stake. Many regulations have been created in order to decrease this crime, but with technology’s rapid growth and increase of pedophilia communities that can be found all over the internet, it seems like it would be a long way before the crime could be eradicated completely. Because of that the government along with several other authority figures would occasionally search for sanctions that will hopefully decrease the number of pedophiles.
