The crimes against human dignity in sexual area - criminal and criminological aspects Abstract: The thesis deals with those crimes that affect the most intimate area of human life, the sexual area. It analyzes those crimes from a criminal point of view and compares the current Czech legislation with the legislation in Spain. Based on this comparison, the thesis contains several considerations de lege ferenda, which could improve the current Czech legislation. As the chosen topic is strongly affected by forensic science and criminology, the thesis also deals with sexual crimes from the point of view of these scientific disciplines. From a criminological point of view, the thesis examines the personality of the perpetrator and the victim. With regard to perpetrators, it deals primarily with the motives, motivations and typology of perpetrators in general. In relation to victims the thesis finds out, in particular, how committing these crimes affects their lives (including secondary victimization) and deals with their position from a procedural point of view. In the part dealing with forensic science this thesis describes the specifics associated with the investigation of this type of crimes. In order to determine whether these procedures are effective, the first part contains statistical reports showing...

Sexmissbruk eller diagnosmissbruk? – En diskursanalys av begreppet sexmissbruk Jakobsson, R.Key words: diagnoses, hypersexuality, medicalization, nymphomania, sexual addiction, sexual behavior, sexual compulsivity, sexual deviation, shame, social construction.Background: Sexual addiction has been given a dominant discoursive power in Sweden which (re)inforces the idea that sexuality is essentially a dangerous and lethal force.Methods: The thesis consists of two sub studies. Firstly, a critical discourse analysis is conducted over scientifical articles of sexual addiction and sexual compulsivity. Secondly, a critical discourse analysis of the concept of sexual addiction in newspapers in Sweden’s largest newspaper, DN, and an evening paper, Aftonbladet. These two sub studies are reflected towards each other to examine the construction and discourses surrounding sexual addiction.Results: The first sub study shows that sexual addiction is a term and concept that lacks empirical data. However, research still speculates that a sex addict can be someone who compulsively consumes any sexual behaviors that deviates from marital sex. The second sub study shows that sexual addiction is a vague concept that could be applied to most people in society; it may include people who masturbate, are unfaithfull, are rapists, perform incest, consume pornography, have difficulties with intimacy and/or have multiple sexual partners.Conclusion: Sexual addiction is a moral concept, which pathologizes people who deviate from erotic normalcy. The media articles presented a vague image of a sex addict that includes a series of sexual behaviors, ranging from masturbation to sex offending. Although research has been conducted for over 30 years, there is no empirical data about what constitutes sexual addiction and what the potential consequences for the individual and society are. In sum, both science and popular discourses presents a potential addiction to diagnoses.Suggested Citation: "Jakobsson. R.

As pesquisas no Brasil e no mundo constatam que o abuso sexual perpetrado por pais contra filhas é uma prática que ultrapassa os limites das fronteiras geográficas ou culturais. Nossa pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender, através de um estudo de caso, a geração, manutenção e transmissão dos elementos que perpetuam a violência intrafamiliar, no que concerne ao incesto abusivo pai-filha. Chegamos ao sujeito de nossa pesquisa por intermédio de profissionais que atuam junto a uma ONG, sem contudo ter existido, durante o período em que se desenvolveu a pesquisa, qualquer vínculo pessoal ou institucional desses profissionais com a família contatada. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida com base em cenários de família nuclear, numa perspectiva transgeracional, a partir da análise de conteúdo do material fornecido pela protagonista-relatora. Nesse sentido, o instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista não-diretiva. Nosso estudo constatou que em meio à teia perversa que caracteriza as relações interpessoais na violência intrafamiliar, o abuso sexual incestuoso se sobressai como a face mais dura desse universo e reafirma o seu estatuto de expoente máximo enquanto fator patológico na dinâmica desse conjunto de sujeitos - hoje denominado família abusiva - comprometendo o psiquismo individual e grupal de seus membros. A partir de pressupostos teóricos da psicanálise, buscamos compreender o intercâmbio que se estabelece entre experiência subjetiva e realidade objetiva no psiquismo do agressor, a atitude responsiva de sua vítima, a contribuição do entorno familiar e o papel da cultura na perpetuação do fenômeno. Verificamos, portanto, tratar-se de um amálgama formado por elementos da filogênese, da ontogênese e da cultura. Por isso mesmo o complexo de Édipo apareceu como o ponto nodal em torno do qual gravita toda a dinâmica do abuso incestuoso pai-filha que se configurou como a forma mais cruel do filicídio simbólico. O abuso sexual intrafamiliar, segundo nossa compreensão permitirá, a curto prazo uma intervenção efetiva em termos do código cultural apenas pelo lado da vítima e de sua família, uma vez que do outro lado, isto é, do agressor, vamos encontrar, ainda que com enorme gradação, a psicopatologia, isto é, a indomesticação do desejo, o domínio dos impulsos, uma impermeabilidade à moral e à ética, enfim, a perversão. E, nesses casos, as intervenções vão do isolamento à castração química, passando pela psicoterapia sem que, entretanto, os resultados sejam animadores. Acreditamos que a formação da estrutura de caráter seja fruto do processo de aprendizagem, e este se traduz na conformação do sujeito à cultura, tendo como base os condicionantes sociais e psicobiológicos do comportamento. Por essa razão, entendemos que a educação é também um importante instrumento propulsor das mudanças paradigmáticas que necessitamos para pensar e trabalhar a família. Entretanto, ainda observamos aqui que, na qualidade de fator estruturante do psiquismo, a aplicabilidade da lei do Édipo às novas configurações familiares poderá ser objeto para o futuro aprofundamento deste tema, bem como para o estudo de outros temas inerentes à família / The researches in Brazil and around the world evidence that the sexual abuse perpetrated for fathers against their daughters is a practical which outstrips the limits of geographic or cultural borders. Our studies aimed to comprehend, through a cases analysis, the generation, maintenance and transmission of the elements that perpetuate the intrafamilial violence, concerning to abusive incest father-daughter. Utilizing the help of professionals who worked at an ONG however, without any personal or institutional bond of them with the contacted family we could find our researchs subject. Its a qualitative research, based on nuclear familys scenes, in a perspective of the generations transmission, from the analysis of the content supplied by the protagonist. In this way, it was utilized the not-directive interview. Our study evidenced that, between the perverse web which characterizes the relationships in intrafamilial violence, the incestuous sexual abuse is distinguished like this universes cruelest face and reaffirms its condition of maximum exponent as pathologic factor inside this set of subjects dynamic known as abusive family, nowadays causing many damages to the individual and group mental functioning of its members. Leaving of psychoanalysis theoretic concepts, we search the comprehension of the interchange between subjective experience and objective reality into the aggressors psyche, his victims responsive attitude, familys contribution and cultures role in the phenomenons perpetuation. We verify, therefore, it concerns to an amalgam formed for elements of philogenesis, ontogenesis and culture. Because of it, the Édipos complex appeared as the nodal point, surrounded for all the dynamic of incestuous abuse father-daughter that had became the cruelest way of symbolic filicide. The sexual abuse, according to our understanding, will allow an effective intervention in terms of the cultural code just by the victims and her familys side, since by the aggressors side we will find, even with giant gradation, the psychopathology, that is, the incapacity to contain the desire, the impulses dominium, the not being susceptible to the moral and ethics, at last, the perversion. And, in this case, the interventions go of isolation to chemical castration, crossing the psychotherapy without, however, encouraging results. We consider that the formation of the characters structure is a learning processs product, and this process means the conformation of the subject to the culture, having as basis the behaviors social and biological factors. Therefore, we believe that education is the propeller instrument of the paradigms changes we need to think and work the family. However, its relevant to observe that, as structural factor of the mental functioning, the applicability of Edipos law to the new familiar configurations can be object of this themes posterior deepening, as well as for studies with other themes inherent to the family
