Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Pedophilia is a controversial issue both in the legal and social spheres. The discussion of whether the pedophile as a sick person or not, is still far from reaching a consensus, reflecting directly on a due state intervention on the subject. Therefore, this research aimed at analyzing, through bibliographic survey, the conceptual and juridical aspects of pedophilia. For this, the profile of the pedophile was explored, pointing out, from the medical perspective, as a carrier of mental pathology, that is, of a paraphilia. Furthermore, we show such individual as unable of being charged, fir he/she is deprived of the capacity for self-determination of his /her deeds. Thus, a dignified and effective state intervention was analyzed in addition to the application of a sentence and prescribing security measure as the most humane outcome.
