“Pedophilia is the pathological addiction of adolescents to sexual gratification. The sexual orientation of a pedophile is usually directed towards prepubertal or underdeveloped children. Academically, the concept of pedophilia originated in the late 19th century, but has largely been around since the 1970s. Later became known to the Western public and gradually became an important ethical issue from the 1990s with the rise of pedophile pornography on the Internet. Development of public opinion.
Various methods have been used to curb child sexual abuse, including sex education and miniature sex dolls. However, whether the appearance of small sex dolls is good or bad for those who like pedophiles is still debated.
Child sex dolls satisfy paedophiles' sexual urges, reducing their use of real children, according to a new report released this week by the Australian Institute of Criminology, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The "hot" criminal risk theory is unfounded.
While the report acknowledges that there is no research on the subject, authors Rick Brown and Jane Shelling make a reasonable assumption that physical contact with child dolls may increase the risk of sexual abuse in actual users. risk.
The pair noted that child sex dolls can bridge the gap between potential pedophilia and sexual fantasies and real-life crime, while physical contact with sex dolls increases their risk of real-life crime. Exposure to lifelike sex dolls is likely to cause physical, emotional and psychological numbness from child sexual abuse and is therefore a normal part of child sexual abuse, the two experts explained.
The report comes after Home Secretary Peter Dutton pledged to stop the distribution of cheap sex dolls in the form of children in Australia. The "disgusting" trend has led to a surge in imports of similar dolls, he said.
An Australian Border Force (ABF) spokeswoman also said border officers intercepted fewer than 16 mini sex doll in each of the first three years of 2016, but between 17 and 78 the number rose to 15, while last year it dropped to 15.
Australian law prohibits the purchase of child-shaped dolls abroad. Violators can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and a $525.000 fine.
In 2016, a NSW man was found guilty of possessing child-shaped dolls. However, the Criminology Institute report noted that relevant legislation in other states and territories is unclear. More legislation on possession of children's dolls was tabled in parliament last month to effectively stop the crime.
