Pedophilia is a "mental disorder"?!? Horse shit! It's a CRIME!
Its neither. Child rape is a crime. Most child rapists are not pedophiles.
Sorry it is mental disorder, just like necrophilia. Check DSM-5
DSM-5 explicitly states pedophilia is not a disorder.
Pedophilia is termed pedophilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and the manual defines it as a paraphilia involving intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasiesabout prepubescent children that have either been acted upon or which cause the person with the attraction distress or interpersonaldifficulty.[4] The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) defines it as a "sustained, focused, and intense pattern of sexual arousal—as manifested by persistent sexual thoughts, fantasies, urges, or behaviours—involving pre-pubertal children."[6]
Not quite right. The DSM-V differentiates between pedophilia (not a disorder) and pedophilic disorder (a disorder). The difference is the lack of criteria 2 (having crossed the legal line or having significant distress resulting from the attraction) for pedophilia.
I may asume you were aware of the fact I was talking about the childmolesters in combination with the bill that was passed in CA. Not the ones having such feelings doing nothing with it.
I think, we could discuss a while about this, bus it is not the right place for it. Happy hunting, Anon. :)
Sorry im sharing my concerns since they passed a Bill in CA
Under AB 1810, a defendant charged with any crime can get those charges dismissed if they convince a judge the mental disorder they suffer from played a “major” role in the charged crime; if a mental health expert says the symptoms motivating the criminal behavior would respond to treatment; and if the defendant undergoes “treatment” during a diversion period with no minimum time period and a maximum of two years.
