Crux of the arrgument
People in possession of Child pornography have been given lighter sentences then what the law requires. “The maximum penalty for possession is six months imprisonment and for distribution is three years imprisonment”. Some judges believe that 6 months for just having child pornography is to high. Many people are arguing that possessing child pornography shouldn’t be illegal. They say child pornography was wrong at the point of filming but now that it’s been filmed and passed around that it doesn’t harm anyone anymore. It is my belief that this is wrong. By carrying around child pornography, it’s supporting the creation of it and will therefore cause more children to be extorted into the business. “More than 20,000 images of child pornography are posted on the Internet every week.” Watching and possessing child pornography shows the makers of child pornography that there are people who would pay money for it and that the more kids they use the more people will buy the product. “

Child offenders can be grouped into two groups “preferential pedophiles” and “situational pedophiles”. Preferential pedophiles target specific children. They have a type which they search for. They have jobs which allow them easy access to children. They seem to be more compulsive and smarter than situational pedophiles. Situational pedophiles don't seek out children. They take advantage of situations that allow them access to children. Situational Pedophiles come from low socioeconomic statuses and are very violent. Pedophiles tend to make videos so they can relive the moment or let other experience their joy.
The type of pedophile is important to know because the way they treat the children determines there sentencing. Situational pedophiles tend to get more time on there sentences because of the cruelty they cause to the children. Preferential pedophiles get less time because they don't inflict unnecessary pain. To me I think this sentencing is a little off. Those who seek out children and get jobs near children get less time then those who just cease opportunities. Don't get me wrong the amount of pain inflicted on the child plays a big role on how long their sentence should be.

I like how much support you have and explaining the different types of child offenders. I had no idea that there was a difference between them. This blog help me see how much of a problem it is because there are so many kids being exposed on the internet and it's horrible. But overall it's really good especially with the citations.
