It’s evident the two boys grew up to be violent people. Dr. Peter Fonagy, a child development expert, explains, “A child exposed to abuse has a higher chance to become a criminal because his or her childhood has mental scars of what they went through.” Fonagy also mentions, “Children are like sponges; they absorb everything they see, and as adults unintentionally repeat and look for what they lived through”. Tommy and John are great examples of this because they repeatedly suffered from rape as well as brutal beatings. As a result, under their circumstances fighting back seemed like the only way to defend themselves. Aggression, what both characters were affected by, is a horrible habit that can easily be prevented with proper help.
The first group is sexual offenders that commit crimes of sexual violence against adults. Some may give this group name of rapist. Surprisingly this is not the classification most of these sex offenders are in.

Hassan has always been a royal servant and a true friend who has always helped and safe guarded Amir in different situations. Hassan has suffered a lot for being a loyal servant to Amir by his people, the community and even by his boss Amir; however he never gave up or cheated and has kept his loyalty until the last minute of leaving from the house. On the other hand, Amir has always been jealous with Hassan and never treated him as a close friend. The relationship of the two boys Amir and Hassan who were the Sultans of Kabul has come to an end after Hassan got raped by Assef, a famous bully of the neighborhood. Since Amir was grown up as a self-defend less kid, he couldn’t help Hassan and felt guilty for not doing anything for him.

Sexual abuse is one of the most harmful and immoral criminal act occurring throughout modern society. While most people assume that every sexual offender is a complete stranger to the victim, this is untrue. In fact, sexual abuse has been defined as “illegal sex acts performed against minors by a parent, guardian, relative, or acquaintance.” (Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Ed. p. 1375) The assumption that sex offenders jump out from behind bushes or snatch their victims from dark alleys is not at all true. While these instances do occur, most sexual abuse occurs in the victims own home and is committed by someone the victim knows and has been extended to include non-relatives, relatives, child abuse and other forms of illegal sexual behavior, such as rape.
These countries are said to have a “culture of tolerance” which is causing the sex industry to become more successful than ever. The United States is daily normalizing the idea of pimping and prostitution to America’s youngest. Through many forms of entertainment, such as music and television, the numbers of children being lured into the sex business is growing tremendously (Kotrla 3).

Rebecca Jackson Final Research Paper Draft One 11/15/11 Prof. Platz Child Pornography and Pedophilia: A Multidimensional Viewpoint Child porn is by definition, the illegal use of children in pornographic pictures or films. Many assume that a person who views child pornography is always exclusively a pedophile and always wishes to seek out children to abuse. Pedophilia is defined by sexual feelings towards children and while those viewing child pornography have definite sexual feelings while viewing child pornography, it may be just feelings and the viewer will never progress towards real life interaction. According to Carlson, the viewing of child porn leads to pedophilia and child abuse. “Studies suggest a strong correlation between those who seek out child pornography and those would be diagnosed as pedophiles.” (Carlson 27).
