Abstract
Increasing biochemical knowledge of sexual functionality and
attraction has allowed researchers to tentatively deduce a chemical
cause for pedophilia and initiate various biochemical treatments
for this condition. The availability of such knowledge, along with the
development of new pharmaceutical treatment options, opens up new
legal and ethical questions regarding how to chemically treat sexual
criminality and how we, as a society, should reflect upon the use of
chemicals in the treatment for other forms of deviant behaviour.
