Abstract
Why should this subject be included in a forensic symposium? Essentially because it impinges upon legal standards, in addition to both moral and behavioural, and like soccer and politics drives most people to extremes of opinion. It is particularly interesting that sexually explicit material is considered to violate the legal code for it deals with the representation of sexual activity rather than the behaviour itself, or at least the consequences of viewing material (Miller, 1982), an area that has received much publicity and scrutiny over the past decade.
