The Association Between Child Pornography Consumption and Hands-On Sex Offenses

In the ongoing debate surrounding the association between child pornography consumption and hands-on sex offenses, a study conducted in Switzerland sheds light on this complex issue. The study analyzed a sample of 231 men who were charged with illegal consumption of child pornography.

The findings indicate that consuming child pornography alone is not a significant risk factor for committing hands-on sex offenses, especially for individuals with no prior convictions for such offenses. It is important to note that the majority of the sample had no previous convictions for hands-on sex offenses.

This research challenges the assumption that there is a direct causation between consuming child pornography and engaging in hands-on sex offenses. However, it is crucial to continue studying the relationship between these two phenomena and consider other risk factors that may contribute to hands-on sex offenses, such as recidivism, legal definitions, and individual characteristics.
