Police chief: If you don’t curb porn, number of sex crimes will rise

March 13, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) – One of the highest-ranking police officials in Scotland has warned that if pornography's effects on the culture are not checked, it will “result in a higher number of victims of serious sexual crime.”

Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said porn is warping the perceptions of a generation of British children, making young boys more likely to assault girls.

“There is academic evidence coming out to suggest [pornography] is having an impact on how young men in particular perceive relationships and women,” he said.

“We need to change the attitudes, behavior, and perceptions of men to make a difference to that,” he stated. “We also need it make it clear to young people that what they are seeing on a computer screen isn’t real life.”

His analysis came as government agencies announced a coordinated drive to prevent young people from acting on the misleading image created by X-rated websites. The effort comes as two reports show the depths of sexual degradation in the UK.

Britain's Centre for Social Justice announced more than 500 girls – half of them British – had been trafficked in sex slavery last year.

A 16-year-old British girl, whom the report calls “Hannah,” was raped 90 times over one weekend.

In another case, a Nigerian woman named “Mary” faced a forced abortion. Her controller, Tony, had deceived her into entering a brothel, where she saw 10-12 men a day. “After some time Mary fell pregnant,” the report stated. “When Tony found out he was furious; he attacked Mary and tried to abort her baby by force.”

Approximately 94 percent of sexual trafficking victims in 2011 were women, but some men fell prey to abuse, as well.

A 53-year-old Romanian electrician was forced to live in a shed, reatedly beaten, and then raped by the two men who “owned" him.

The 224-page report, entitled It Happens Here, was written over 18 months. It may be downloaded here.

Yet another UK report found that thousands of British children had committed sexual offenses. In all 4,562 minors – some as young as five – committed 5,028 sexual offenses over the three year period from 2009-2012. That figure excluded data from nine metropolitan police forces.

The group behind the report, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), linked the high number of sexual crimes commited by children to the preponderance of pornography.

NSPCC Policy Advisor Claire Lilley warned that easy access to pornography is "warping young people’s views of what is ‘normal’ or acceptable behavior.”

Patrick Trueman, a former federal prosecutor in the Reagan administration and president of Morality In Media, told LifeSiteNews.com that when children “see sexual violence, domination, rape, and other similar acts so commonly depicted in modern-day pornography, as today's children do, they will act out those out.”

Shocking. A cop wants more stuff made illegal.

If you don’t make marijuana illegal white women will have sex with black men.

If you don’t make opium illegal white women will have sex with Chinese men.

If you don’t make liquor illegal, women will have sex with men.

And on and on and on and on....

It’s all bull****.

I have never heard these before, really!

“If you don’t make marijuana illegal white women will have sex with black men.”

I thought if you smoked marijuana it made you a hippie.

I think some of these issues have more to do with Islam & immigration than porn.

If you’ve never heard those then you haven’t learned any history at all.

And if you don’t know history you might as well live with your head in a sack.

I cry bs on this.

Porn has reduced crimes like this. Unstables who are afraid of being caught will just jerk off to porn instead of committing crimes.

Further, if you really want an accurate article on this, the headline would be this:

IF YOU DON’T CURB ISLAM, SEX CRIMES WILL INCREASE

This is epidemic in the UK. They view non-muslim women as animals and have no restrictions on raping them. And they are. All across Europe.

If 5-yr old children have protracted and repeated exposure to porn, his problems as a result of that exposure are the least of his problems!

Our porn centered public culture is boring and disgusting. It’s run it’s course now.

Just because some pervs want “free access” to porn - meaning they want it wag it in front of children - does not mean we have to shape society around their sexual problems and pass it all onto children’s heads. Children are not prepared to handle adult porn sexual stimulation. It ruins some adults, too. But that is their choice if they want to wreck their own sexuality. They should not be wrecking children for their own “freedom” to wreck themselves.

Might be true. But giving the government control over the internet to solve this problem is like going after the mice in your cupboard with a .50 cal heavy machine gun.

This is what passes for “reasoned debate” on what was once the most informative and impressive discussion forum on the internet. Now it’s just a decent news source with lots of petty bluster, just like on Yahoo and CNN an any other news site with a comments section. Very very sad.
