THE FAKE SOUND OF MEDIA MORALITY
"Save your sympathy.
Who'd you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
to A Town Called Hypocrisy"
"Here in the UK, that we have lived through an eye-opening couple of years is undeniable. For those of us still able to stop, think for ourselves and engage in cognitive thinking, life has been become a pretty incredulous experience. This wouldn't be so bad if 'thinking' wasn't becoming such an old-fashioned concept. For those of us with a degree of intellect, warning signs are flashing away at us madly. I largely eschewed the printed propaganda of the so-called newspapers years ago, last I knocked watching 'mainstream TV' on the head on account of it being utterly dire. The use of online 'social networking' may well be next to go for me - it's soul destroying watching 'The Descent Of Man' unfurl before my eyes, grown adults reduced to reactionary rants purloined from the gutter press or 'sharing' infantile pictures and/or 'jokes'."

IW sentenced – 35 years imprisonment
"We covered the case of IW (and two women, named as A and B) who pleaded guilty on 26th November 2013 to various child sex offences. His case was adjourned for sentence. We had said that (on the information that was in the news reports) that the likely sentence was in the region of 20-25 years, and that he was in line for a sentence of life imprisonment."

“Long-Range Rape”
Sat, Nov 9, 2013, 01:00: First published: Sat, Nov 9, 2013, 01:00
Child pornography: collateral damage
"Three Irish men were identified this week by an international sting operation as having tried to access online child pornography. What fate awaits perpetrators and their families?
Catastrophic consequences: 90 per cent of the people who carry out online child abuse are loving fathers, uncles, brothers and sons."
" Whichever way they react, “Families are blown apart by this. It creates absolute havoc. People take sides. Families react in exactly the same way as they do when they discover that their child has been sexually abused or that their husband, father or son is a perpetrator of child sex abuse,” says Ellen O’Malley-Dunlop, the chief executive of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
John’s partner reacted with anger and rejection and got a court order preventing him seeing his children unsupervised. His employer put him on sick leave, then encouraged him to take voluntary redundancy. “People didn’t want to know me,” he says.
As gardaí swept through the house that morning, confiscating every device that might hold information, including the children’s toys and games, he felt utter despair. He didn’t know who had tipped them off, but he recalled his partner leaving his laptop open on the kitchen table, with a “child pornography” image on it – perhaps her way of saying she knew. The Garda found 2,000 images of “child pornography” on the device. John did not see his children again for months. When he eventually did, access was supervised.
John says he has never sexually abused a child in “real life”, and never would."

Not Quite, But, Getting There - We Prefer The Terms 'Facilitation' Or 'Desistance', Or, Put Simply, 'Coping'
28 October 2013 00:00
‘Rehab, not jail’ for abusers [sic] who groom children online
"SEX offenders [sic] caught “grooming” youngsters online and downloading images of child abuse should avoid jail in favour of early intervention programmes in some cases, MSPs have been told.
More Scottish Government cash should be allocated to fund rehabilitation schemes for these offenders, in order to prevent future offending, according to national child sexual abuse organisation Stop It Now.
But the prospect of offenders avoiding prison for such crimes was branded “blatantly wrong” by opposition parties at Holyrood [well, they would]. The Scottish Government has insisted that the justice system is “tougher than ever” on offenders.
Online grooming, where youngsters are lured into forming a relationship with an adult over the internet, is a growing problem. Earlier this month, 21-year-old SC was jailed for grooming a 14-year-old Scottish schoolgirl, then abducting her and having sex with her.
Children’s charities have also called for a clearer approach to sentencing of people caught downloading images of child abuse, after high-profile murder cases in recent years [what has that got to do with anything?].
Scotland is unique in targeting people under investigation for downloading images of child abuse with early intervention and group learning programmes soon after arrest but before conviction, according to Stop It Now.
They respond well during this “period of crisis”, which has the biggest impact on cutting future reoffending, according to the organisation’s national manager in Scotland, Martin Henry."

Desistance
"In the field of criminology, desistance is generally defined as the cessation of offending or other antisocial behavior. However, researchers have not reached a consensus on the definition of desistance. Various authors have pointed out the shortcomings of a dichotomous definition of desistance, and some have suggested instead that a process view of desistance may provide a more accurate picture of the concept. Although desistance has become an increasingly popular research topic in recent years, it has been argued that the state of knowledge on this topic is still relatively limited. More specifically, it has been suggested that very little is known about the causal processes underlying desistance."

The Cornucopia Of Sexual Acts On The Internet
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
END OF LOVE
"Matt, Neil, Josh and Zach sought out pornography on the Internet as adolescents. Today they are convicted felons on the National Sex Offender Registry. Their names, photos and addresses are public information available on the Internet. Their residency, movement and employment options are extremely limited.
END OF LOVE is about the epidemic of adolescent boys and men who are being convicted of downloading child pornography. Law enforcement officials say that these charges constitute the fastest growing prosecuted crimes in the US. What is going on?
END OF LOVE questions why and how the impulse to seek out child pornography originates in boys and men who do not have the typical pedophile profile. Is their on-line sexual exploration and arousal responding to the normalization of the sexualized images of underage girls in popular and consumer culture? Taking into consideration new discoveries in brain development and addictive behavior, does uncontrolled access to the cornucopia of sexual acts on the Internet at an early age pre-dispose youth to become eventual consumers of child pornography? Or not?"

Pedophilia a possible sexual orientation?
"Over the course of this past summer, I read an abundance of classic novels including: “Brave New World,” “Catch-22” and “The Great Gatsby.” While these books were incredible, there was one book that really stood out from the rest: “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov. “Lolita” was not necessarily my favorite, but the subject matter was so controversial it had me hooked from the first page."

What was really needed, it argued, was a change in the attitude that assumed that all cases of paedophilia resulted in lasting damage."

Treatment of child porn offenders, like any addiction, remains elusive
"Collectors of child pornography for sexual gratification or profit face strong criminal penalties and societal outrage.
But treatment for anyone who feels compelled to look at erotic images of children is complicated and no sure thing, psychologists and criminologists say.
"Treatment can be effective if a person truly wants to get better," said Medford psychologist Dan Pollets.
Treatments might include therapies such as counseling, 12-step programs and medication."

The Moral Structure [sic] of Pedophilia
"In contemporary America, condemnation of pedophilia rests on sentiment and not on moral reasoning. Nobody can simultaneously explain why pedophilia is so vile and uphold the first commandment of the sexual revolution: Fulfill thy desires."

Pedophilia a possible sexual orientation?
"Over the course of this past summer, I read an abundance of classic novels including: “Brave New World,” “Catch-22” and “The Great Gatsby.” While these books were incredible, there was one book that really stood out from the rest: “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov. “Lolita” was not necessarily my favorite, but the subject matter was so controversial it had me hooked from the first page."

Shining a light [darkly]
"In 1976, Britain's National Council for Civil Liberties - now known as Liberty - made a submission to Parliament's criminal law revision committee, stating: "Childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in with an adult, result in no identifiable damage."
What was really needed, it argued, was a change in the attitude that assumed that all cases of paedophilia resulted in lasting damage."

Treatment of child porn offenders, like any addiction, remains elusive
"Collectors of child pornography for sexual gratification or profit face strong criminal penalties and societal outrage.
But treatment for anyone who feels compelled to look at erotic images of children is complicated and no sure thing, psychologists and criminologists say.
"Treatment can be effective if a person truly wants to get better," said Medford psychologist Dan Pollets.
Treatments might include therapies such as counseling, 12-step programs and medication."

Compulsive pornography users shows the same brain activity as alcoholics and drug addicts
"'Addiction' part of brain flashes when 'porn addicts' viewed x-rated material.
The results are expected to open up debate on porn as an addiction [why?]
"Regular porn users show the same kind of brain activity as drug addicts and alcoholics, scientists have claimed.
In a new study, scans have revealed how the part of the brain which is stimulated when drug users and heavy drinkers indulge in their addiction is also activated when those hooked on porn watch x-rated images and videos.
In an alarming set of results [why?], this effect was not present in those who don't use porn regularly. [no shit]
Addict: The Cambridge University study has revealed worrying [why?] similarities in the brain activity of porn addicts and those hooked on alcohol and drugs.
The research, carried out by Cambridge University used MRI scans to study the brains of 19 participants who came forward for the experiment, admitting that they had a problem [not enough porn?] with their porn habit.
Speaking in the Sunday Times, Dr Valerie Voon, the principal researcher in the study and a neuropsychiatrist at Cambridge, said: 'We found greater activity in an area of the brain called the ventral striatum, which is a reward centre, involved in processing reward, motivation and pleasure.'"

Physicians in China treat addictions by destroying the brain’s pleasure center
"Drug addiction in China is highly stigmatized. And now, some doctors are trying to cure it with a radical procedure known as as a "stereotactic ablation." More simply, it's the practice of destroying parts of the brain's "pleasure centers" (the nucleus accumbens) in heroin addicts and alcoholics as a way to stop drug cravings. At the same time, however, damage to this region could also impair a person's ability to experience natural longings and other emotions, including joy."

Among several pieces of controversial new legislation to come into force in the state on January 1 or just after, electronic monitoring will become a standard condition of supervision orders for dangerous sexual offenders released from custody.
Electronic monitoring via a GPS system will also apply to dangerous sexual offenders who have already been released and are currently on supervision orders, with the new powers due to come into effect from February.
The $6 million system will only be used in Perth initially, with a regional phase-in scheduled later in the year."

Violent pornography can add ‘fuel to the fire:’ Psychology expert testifies at trial of Quebec gore filmmaker
"Special effects makeup artist Remy Couture, shows one of his creations at his studio in his home in Montreal on Thursday, October 14, 2010. Couture pleaded not guilty to charges of moral corruption and distribution of obscene material for his short films.
MONTREAL — It is not uncommon for gruesome photos and videos to be exhibited in criminal trials, but usually the author of the violence does not claim credit.
In one 10-minute film played in Quebec Superior Court Wednesday, however, the accused’s name was proudly displayed in the closing credits as director, special-effects artist and “psychopath.”
The director and star, Rémy Couture, is not charged with physically harming anyone in the films and photos that have been shown to the jury. He is a special-effects artist and the images, which he posted online, were a kind of calling card to show off his talents.
"But the fictional violence inflicted by Mr. Couture’s “psychopath” – the torture, mutilation and sexual abuse of naked women – appears so brutal, the Crown is arguing the material is illegal."
"Prof. Malamuth testified Wednesday violent pornography “can add fuel to the fire” when viewed by men who are predisposed to being sexually aggressive toward women.
In a report entered into evidence, he said he has viewed Mr. Couture’s two films, Inner Depravity 1 and 2, as well as many of the hundreds of photos shown to the jury.
“These materials often portray sexual images and acts embedded within or merged with extreme acts of violence, including murder, mutilation and body dismemberment,” he wrote.
The images “portray the man as looking very powerful while completely controlling helpless, suffering, viciously tortured and dismembered women,” he added.
Research “strongly suggests that these types of materials may have negative or harmful effects on consumers,” he concluded. The effects include “greater acceptance of violence against women, emotional desensitization to aggression and increased proclivity to aggress, particularly sexually aggress.”
Prof. Malamuth said the violence depicted by Mr. Couture is more extreme than that found in the pornography he has used in his research."

Your Brain On Porn
"Evolution has not prepared your brain for today's Internet porn."
"All addictions lead to the same major brain changes
Recent research reveals that behavioral addictions (food addiction, pathological gambling, video gaming, and Internet addiction) and substance addictions involve the same fundamental mechanisms leading to a collection of shared alterations in brain anatomy and chemistry. These brain changes include:
Desensitization ("A numbed pleasure response"): Among other changes, dopamine and dopamine (D2) receptors decline in the brain's reward circuitry, leaving the addict less sensitive to pleasure, and "hungry" for dopamine-raising activities/substances of all kinds. The addict then tends to neglect interests, stimuli, and behaviors that were once of high personal relevance.
Sensitization ("A super memory of pleasure"): Rewired nerve connections cause the reward circuitry to buzz in response to addiction-related cues or thoughts. This Pavlovian memory makes the addiction more compelling than other activities in the addict's life.
Hypofrontality ("Willpower erodes"): Alterations in frontal-lobe gray matter and white matter correlate to reduced impulse control and the weakened ability to foresee consequences.
Dysfunctional stress circuits - Stress can easily trigger a relapse."

Unlikely To 'Work', In Any Case
Published: 6:16AM Wednesday August 22, 2012
Prostitute provided for paedophile 'more than once'
"Providing a paedophile with a prostitute dressed as a child to "fulfil needs" is unhelpful and would have no role in successful rehabilitation, a clinical psychologist says.
Corrections have launched an investigation into a probation officer who allegedly spoke about "helping" a sex offender by providing a sex worker in children's clothing.
The claims surfaced after a West Auckland resident - also being managed by the officer - recorded a meeting with him and made the tape available to media."

Not a Paedophile, Does Not Walk Free, And Not Because of Dangerousness
12:37PM BST 14 Aug 2012
Convicted paedophile [sic] walks free [sic] because prison 'would make him more dangerous'
"A man convicted of child porn offences has walked free from court as the judge ruled sending him to prison would make him "dangerous", in a dilemma the judiciary "face again and again".
"This is a problem that judges face again and again in cases of this type," Southwark Crown Court heard.
DS, 59, was caught with a collection of images and videos on his laptop after police found he had been talking to a known paedophile [sic] online.
He spoke of abusing teenage girls and fantasised about allowing his imaginary daughters be raped by others.
Police found under 500 images on Swanton's computer, as well as 13 videos, many of which were at the very highest level of depravity [sic], Southwark Crown Court heard.
"It would be too short for you to get treatment for addiction - for it is an addiction - you would emerge from prison, in my view, as potentially dangerous.""
