Abstract

Description

This Report of the Paedophile Inquiry deals with an area of human sexuality which gives rise to the expression of strong emotions. Persons involved, either as perpetrators or victims of paedophile activity, may be so affected as to take their own lives or to suffer enduring psychiatric trauma. So abhorrent is the activity that outraged members of the community call for drastic measures to deal with perpetrators. Care must be taken not to allow this outrage to cloud an objective approach to a very real and a very difficult problem. Any remedial measures or changes must be fair to all in the circumstances.
