Research Into Paedophilia

As our coursework is about a paedophile ring here is some research we have done into paedophilia.

Paedophilia (different definitions)

sexual feelings directed toward children.

Paedophilia is a psychological disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children

Psycho-sexual disorder in which an adult's arousal and sexual gratification occur primarily through sexual contact with prepubescent children. The typical pedophile is unable to find satisfaction in an adult sexual relationship and may have low self-esteem, seeing sexual activity with a child as less threatening than that with an adult. Most pedophiles are men; the condition is extremely rare in women.

We've tried to adapt to these definitions, by obviously making the paedophiles all men. We're going to try and make it obvious that he has used our victim for sex and abused her in many ways.

Common traits in Paedophiles:

Impaired self concept

Elevated passive-aggressiveness

Elevated sociopathy

Most have Cognitive Distortion (qualities that stop them from achieving goals) most often jumping to decisions that are false.

We will make sure that our character has all of these traits making him seem as real as possible.
