Psychology
Pedophiles are increasingly becoming more prominent in mainstream society and their methods are ever getting more devious and more deadly with each passing day. Pedophilia is however a condition with proven genetic inclinations and as such can be considered as a condition which one is born with as opposed to developmental characteristics which are entirely dependent on a person’s lifestyle. This research questionnaire is based on pedophilia as a condition as well as pedophiles and their activities in main stream society. The paper also focuses on the perceptions of society on pedophilia and how different people relate to this condition. The thesis is that pedophilia is a condition that can be treated and one can recover from being a fully-fledged pedophile to a reformed member of society.
