Crime and Punishment, or Law and Order : Trondheim

"A toddler is taken by two boys and brutally killed by them. It’s a senseless, and in some ways sadistic, killing. But the victim isn’t Jamie Bulger, it’s a 5 year old Norwegian girl – Slije Redergard. The killers have never been named in the media, but they were 6 year old boys.

The two killers were four years younger than Jon Venables and Robert Thompson and even in England they would have been too young to be prosecuted. But the four year age gap is not the only difference – the way that the two communities dealt with the child killers were poles apart."

The Present, Dominant Narrative, Is Not Reality, Sean

Last updated: July 1st, 2013

Why is it OK for us to enjoy Caravaggio's paedophile [sic] art?

"Take a look at the painting above [careful, now]. It is St John the Baptist, commonly acknowledged as a masterpiece by one of history’s greatest artists, Caravaggio. Painted in 1603, it usually hangs in the Pinacoteca Capitolina in Rome, but this summer it is on loan to Siena Cathedral: which is where I saw it, last week, amongst a queue of art-lovers.

Now hold this image in your mind, and head north. A few weeks ago the veteran English artist Graham Ovenden was given a suspended sentence, by Plymouth Crown Court, after he was found guilty of six charges of indecency with underage girls. Ovenden’s particular crime was to molest the young models who posed nude for his paintings.

What is your reaction to the Ovenden case? [it is all persecutory madness, of course]. Possibly you feel that the sentence was too lenient [hardly]. The Guardian newspaper, amongst others, demanded a more severe punishment. The Attorney General is now revisiting the case, with an eye to putting Ovenden behind bars.

In the light of Ovenden’s crimes, many have also reacted against Ovenden’s art. The Tate gallery has removed the painter’s work from its walls and website. It’s very difficult to imagine a mainstream newspaper printing the more explicit images.

All right and proper, you might say: the art is obscene [indecency, Sean, indecency] . And created by a paedophile [sic].

But look again at that Caravaggio masterpiece at the top of this blog. Experts believe that the boy who modelled for this painting was one of Caravaggio’s young assistants. Historians further believe that Caravaggio was sexually involved with this prepubescent boy. That’s disquieting, isn’t it? [no]

The evidence for this relationship, between the artist and his subject, actually comes from another Caravaggio masterpiece, Victorious Cupid, which shows the same assistant in a different pose. Victorious Cupid was notorious even in its own time, when contemporaries confirmed that the subject was the "boy that laid with Caravaggio". How do I know all this? Because I read it in an essay in, yes, the Guardian, which eagerly praised this paedophile [sic] painting, and its pedophile [sic] creator, exactly nine days before the same paper demanded the imprisonment of a paedophile [sic] painter, known for his paedophile [sic] paintings.

You see the dissonance, of course [not at all, we are more than comfortable with the reality]. On the one hand we are horrified by the evils [sic] of paedophilia [sic, are we?]. Yet we queue to see blatantly paedophile art [sic]. Perhaps such art is acceptable if it is by dead people? But how dead do they have to be? Centuries? Decades? Weeks? Will Graham Ovenden go back in the Tate, as soon as he passes away?

All this raises a further, more profound [?] dilemma [?]. Sexual morality is perceived as an absolute [who says?]: we all believe pedophilia [sic] is absolutely wrong (and I agree) [well, we do not, and so do many others]. Yet sexual morality also evolves over time [indeed], in complex ways: hence our confusion [sic] about these artworks. And sexual morality evolves quickly [indeed, sometimes, it has not really changed at all].

No one knows this better than Harriet Harman, who was a legal officer for the National Council for Civil Liberties in the 1970s, when they believed in the legalisation of paedophile sex [sic, not quite]. I can’t imagine her going near a group which evangelised such a position today [no, such is hypocrisy, Liberty too].

So how can we be sure that our sexual morality won’t evolve again? [if it has changed at all]

If anything, history tells us that it will change, and not in directions we expect – we may decide that homosexuality is wrong after all [you have decided it is 'right'?]; we may decide that pederasty is excellent, like the Ancient Greeks; we may prohibit fornication, or prostitution, or make pornography compulsory. It’s a disturbing idea [it is a glorious idea]. But then, Caravaggio’s great painting of St John the Baptist is also rather disturbing [why?]. Once you know the back story."

What social workers need to know about working with sex offenders [sic]

"Social work provides values and interventions that can help support convicted offenders [really, how?]

There is a lack of understanding about the risk posed to the public, especially children, by sex offenders, says Frances Robertson. [indeed]

Investing time in understanding the complexity of child sexual abuse and resources to provide solutions is often unwelcome by the public. [indeed]

Instead, society seems to find it more palatable to label and stigmatise perpetrators through high-profile investigations. [indeed]

Child sex abuse [weasel words] is universally [really?] viewed as abhorrent, but the actions of Operation Yewtree have split opinion. Some feel that alleged offenders should remain anonymous until proven guilty and believe that alleged victims should not be able to remain anonymous.

This, however, shows a lack of understanding about the risk posed to the public, especially children, by perpetrators of sexual abuse. Surely it is better for all concerned if preventive strategies are developed and an attempt is made to understand how such abusive behaviour happens in the first place." [indeed]

Lie detector [sic] tests set to be introduced to monitor sex offenders

"Politicians expected to approve law allowing compulsory polygraph tests of sex offenders released into community [well, of course they are].

MPs are expected to clear the way for the introduction of compulsory lie detector tests to monitor convicted sex offenders across England and Wales from next January.

The national rollout of US-style mandatory polygraph tests for serious sex offenders who have been released into the community after serving their prison sentence follows a successful pilot scheme. The trial was carried out from 2009-11 in two Midlands probation areas and found that offenders taking such tests were twice as likely to tell probation staff they had contacted a victim, entered an exclusion zone or otherwise breached terms of their release licence.

Continuing concerns about the reliability of the tests and misinterpretation of the results mean they still cannot be used in any court in England and Wales.

But it is expected that the compulsory polygraph tests will be used to monitor the behaviour of 750 of the most serious sex offenders, all of whom have been released into the community after serving a sentence of at least 12 months in jail ..."

Sense About Lie Detectors

"Lie detectors have been around for nearly 100 years. Despite debates over their accuracy and the ethics and legality of their use, the public and professionals remain intrigued by them.

Lie detectors mainly consist of polygraphs, voice analysis or brain imaging. These technologies are different but three points are relevant to all:

>They are not accurate.
>They do not measure lies but rather something that could be a proxy for lies.
>They all rely on the deterrent effect (that is, fear of being caught lying)."
