Conclusion
From the Paper
"Before the mass advent of the Internet, most child predators stalked their victims in public places such as schoolyards, playgrounds, and shopping malls. Attempting to make contact with children in person exposed the pedophiles to enhanced risk of getting caught; hence their activity was limited in scope. With the advent of the Internet, most predators target children for criminal acts in cyberspace. Young children and teenagers are considered relatively "soft" targets by the pedophiles since they are "often trusting, naive, curious, adventuresome, and eager for attention and affection" and the anonymity of the Internet eliminates many of the risks that predators previously faced while attempting to make contact with children in person. ("Internet Crimes..." Section on "Children as Targets...") Research has shown that about 25% of the children who use the Internet regularly are at some stage approached by strangers for unwanted sexual advances. (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how, although criminals have been escaping justice on the basis of technicalities for decades, when it comes to sexual predators of children using the Internet, some judges are blazing new trails into the terrain of protecting the criminals and punishing the victims, diminishing the results of police work, as well. It looks at the growing need for anti-pedophilia laws concerning the Internet and the surrounding issues, such as the First Amendment and freedom of speech.
From the Paper
"While some judges and lawmakers are worried about protecting the First Amendment rights of pedophiles, so they can continue to lure their intended victims over the Internet, the population seems to desire even stronger anti-pedophilia laws concerning the Internet.
By 2002, 40 million children were assumed to have Internet access. ?The Internet is a dream come true for a pedophile," said Arlington County, (Va.) police Detective Paul J. Reid. ?It takes the playground from the street and puts it into their home where they can cultivate victims in privacy.? (Fagan 1997)"

Abstract
With the growth of the Internet society has been capable of experiencing greater communication and knowledge retrieval than ever before in the history of civilization. However, as communication processes have become more advanced so has the ability of pedophiles to gain access to children. While millions of children have access to the Internet on a daily basis not all of these children are aware of the cyber dangers that exist. This paper explains how the Internet has made it easier for pedophiles to gain access to children and the dangers the Internet pose to children as a result of this easy access.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the younger the child is and the less experience that the child has with online communications, the more vulnerable the individual is to predators on the Internet. Pedophiles approach children on the web through unsolicited e-mails, in chat rooms, through invitations to Internet locations, and by allowing them access to private pornographic sites. Although law enforcement officials have been attempting to bring this issue under control for over ten years, it is apparent that instances of..."

Abstract
This article describes and analyzes pedophilic behavior in males aged 12 -18 years old. More specifically, the paper attempts to determine the significance of pedophilic behavior exhibited in adolescent boys (ages 12-18 years) in the diagnosis of pedophilia later on in life by understanding the different neurobiological and psychosocial contributors to the development of the disease in the context of both theory and empirical evidence.
From the Paper
"In recent years, however, advances in the understanding of the neurobiological basis for pedophilia have shed some light on the development of pedophilia. Pedophiles may often possess a comorbid mental or physical condition that may be contributory to his pedophilic behavior (Levine, 2000). A plausible contributor to the manifestation of pedophilic behavior is the presence of a developmental disorder or an organic brain pathology that particularly affects higher cortical functioning. Examples of these conditions include mental retardation, substance abuse, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulse- control disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (Levine, 2000)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Internet has made child pornography easily accessible to pedophiles. The paper explains how this easy access has created an escalation in crimes against children. It assesses what is being done by the law to remedy the problem and explores what role the parents can play in protecting their children from online predators. The paper examines what the warning signs are that a child is being manipulated by someone older in an inappropriate manner online.
From the Paper
"The Internet is no doubt a great resource for education, communication, research, business, and entertainment that has grown at a breakneck pace ever since the debut of the first commercial web browser in 1994. According to one study conducted in December 2004, about 60% of Americans are now connected to the Internet with the average user spending close to 3 hours per day online. (Nie, et al, 2004) The children too have widespread access to the Internet at school and at home. Unfortunately, easy accessibility to the Internet has its downside. It makes the children vulnerable to exploitation by predatory pedophiles lurking in what the US Attorney General, John Ashcroft described as "the dark corners of cyberspace." (Quoted by Magid, 2002) Before the mass advent of the Internet, most child predators stalked their victims in public places such as schoolyards, playgrounds, and shopping malls."

From the Paper
"Innovative Internet technology gives pedophiles the opportunity to exchange information about children in an organized environment (Faulkner, 1997). By using the Internet, they can meet in chat rooms and educate one another on how to commit this crime. Over the Internet, pedophiles exchange plans and ideas about how to meet, attract, and exploit children, -- and how to lure the parents of these children into a false sense of security about their presence within the family structure. Many Internet sites host online "How To" seminar in pedophilia activities, whether the site managers know it or not."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Roman Catholic Church has received heavy media attention since revelations that they have not handled charges of sex abuse against their priests in ways that prevent the offenders from working with children in the future. It proposes a study to determine what Catholic parents tell their children now about sexual predators compared to what they told their children prior to the publication of knowledge regarding sex offenses committed against children by priests of the Catholic Church.

From the Paper
"Since adults cannot accompany children everywhere they go, some parents for have some time tried to teach their children information and skills that would make it less likely for the child to become the target or victim of a sexual predator. Research shows that child education may be the best prevention for sex abuse (Bethea, 1999). Often this training has been misguided, and children have been warned of the ?danger of strangers,? even though most cases of pedophilia are committed by someone the child already knows (Leigh, 1995). Research also shows that most children who are sexually abused do not tell parents or other adults for some years (Fieldman, 2002), and this likelihood of silence makes them more vulnerable. Meanwhile, research has shown that teaching children specific strategies improves both prevention and reports of abuse when it occurs (Brown University, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of pedophilia, the sexual attraction of an adult to an individual who has not reached sexual maturity. In particular, it assesses the hypothesis that pedophiles who were sexually abused as children are primarily attracted to children of approximately the same age as they were themselves when first sexually abused.

Traits and Behaviors of Pedophiles
Treating Pedophilia
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Any number of causal explanations for pedophilia have been advanced in the literature, and there is some level of disagreement among experts as to the exact roots of this problem. Bradford (2000), for example, points out that at this time, no one is certain of the cause of pedophilia and other paraphilias. Doermann (1999) suggests that psychologists generally theorize that the paraphilias represent a regression to or a fixation at an earlier level of psychosexual development resulting in a repetitive pattern of immature sexual behavior. It is theorized that an individual may repeat or revert to a sexual habit arising early in life, lending credence to the notion that a pedophile may target children roughly the same age as the pedophile when he or she was first abused."

Abstract
This research paper explores the claim that celibacy within the clergy results in sexual deviation. The paper begins with an elucidation of the problem within the Catholic Church and an explanation for the propagation of celibacy in Catholic theory. It then goes on to list the three main myths associated with celibacy; namely, that Catholic priests are more likely to become pedophiles than any other group of men, that the celibate state of the priesthood leads to pedophilia and that married clergy would make pedophilia and other forms of sexual misconduct cease to exist. The paper then proceeds to explore both sides of the argument of whether a relationship between celibacy and sexual deviance exists, and in doing so, the writer brings in the opinions of various experts. The paper continues by looking at the treatment of sexual deviance by the Catholic Church and concludes by deducing that there is no connection between celibacy and sexual deviance.
From the Paper
"In today?s society, the Catholic Church is confronted with two important issues regarding sexuality. The first is the scandal of sexual abuse of children by priests, which is a highly publicized issue that it damaging the reputation of the Catholic Church in the United States. The second is the question of whether priest should take a vow of celibacy and remain unmarried."

Bibliography and References
From the Paper
"From those early references we can believe that societies beliefs about the rights of children were considerably different than our own. In fact, the only children that were held in any regard were the legal sons of citizens and aristocrats. Free men living at the brink of poverty often sold their excess children in prostitution. In Ancient Greece, excess female babies were abandoned and then usually collected by prostitutes and pimps so they could be trained into the life as early as possible."

Abstract
This paper examines the hypocrisy of several laws, the standing of many blacks and the Roman Catholic Church, which oppose same-sex marriage. The author points out the position that it is hypocritical for groups that have had to fight long and hard to win their own constitutional rights to turn around and deny them to the next group. The paper stress that the acts of Roman Catholic priests turned pedophiles are morally unacceptable; the acts of adult gays and lesbians who love their partners are, on the contrary, morally very acceptable even though the Catholic bishops oppose same-sex marriage. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"So, the point is, what the Bible said many centuries ago cannot be considered as relevant today, since slavery is no longer tolerated; one more example from John Nichols points to Exodus 35:2 which "clearly states" that those working on the Sabbath "should be put to death." Can you imaging, for example, to carry Dr. Laura Schlessinger's references a little further, all the NFL players who have games on Sunday (today's "Sabbath") being lined up and shot in a firing squad for "working" on the Sabbath? Of course, it's absurd, and the point is well made."

Internet Privacy, 2006.
A discussion about the lack of privacy on the internet.

Abstract
The paper states that privacy on the internet is nearly impossible. For each new security measure installed, hackers manage to find a way in. The writer explains that it is necessary to protect people's privacy, and to protect classified government information. Included in this privacy is salvaging the innocence of children who fall prey to pedophiles and sexual predators on the internet. In conclusion, the writer claims that the unresolved privacy issue hangs somewhere between the timidity of computer companies and the lack of progress in enacting tough legislation by Congress and other regulatory agencies.
From the Paper
"If we consider the Internet to be an international airborne series of sending and receiving stations, electronic encyclopedias, e-mailed messages from one executive to another, IM messages from one love-struck teen-ager to his music idol, then there is little firm and set means of assuring and insuring privacy. Perhaps the greatest reason for complete privacy is to protect business from being "invaded" and ideas, even formulations and decisions stolen; and to protect government agencies, such as the Pentagon from having its military information "hacked", and as in the recent Chinese spying case in Los Alamos turned over to a foreign nation not necessarily friendly to the U.S.
"Hackers are not necessarily jolly young nerds." Computer fraud on the Internet is bringing some $100 million a year." (Jerome, p. 87) But, currently, even the most ambitious and even dangerous hackers like the notorious Kevin Mitnick, only get slaps on the wrist: A one-year prison sentence, followed by six months in a rehabilitation program."

Megan's Law, 2008.
Explores whether Megan's Law is constitutional and suggests an alternative approach to sex offenders.

Abstract
This paper argues that the legality of Megan's Law and other laws regarding sex offenders must be re-assessed to ensure that both the public safety and individual rights are upheld. The author contends that, with the current legal system surrounding sex offenders, not only are the punished sex offenders not treated justly under the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution but also the law is useless. The author proposes that offenders with minor and mild sex crimes, who had had extensive therapy and an extensive background check to ensure that they are not likely to perform a dangerous sex crime, should be given one chance to redeem themselves after they serve their time; however, more dangerous criminals, such as pedophiles and repeat offenders, should be locked up in prison for life with out parole. Includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"In McKune v. Lile, a convicted sex offender who was serving his term in prison said the new state program that required its participants to acknowledge and admit to the crimes that they were sentenced to was a violation of the Fifth Amendment of self incrimination. The Supreme Court over ruled that notion because the state program was a rehabilitation program and saw more benefits then consequences."
