Abstract

            The image of pornography has vastly changed over the decades.  Today with the thriving pornography industry, many are vigorously trying to prove or disprove a direct causal relationship between pornography and sexual crimes.  Scholars, psychologists, feminists and sociologists are constantly challenging, experimenting and arguing over conflicting viewpoints and findings.  This papers attempt to analyse a possible relationship between pornography and sexual crimes focuses on whether how pornography may encourage misogynistic attitudes, and whether these same effects might lead to sex crimes later.
