- Title
Pedophiles and the Regulation of Hugging.
- Authors
SHELTON, KATHRYN; MCKENZIE, RICHARD B.
- Abstract
The article discusses the emergence of the anti-hugging movement to prevent pedophiles from molesting children. It states that the movement's roots can be traced to the "Good Touch/Bad Touch" curriculum developed by Pam Church after learning that her children had been abused sexually. It also elaborates on the unintentional consequences of the anti-hugging policies adopted by institutions around the world. It mentions the need to do further research on benefits and harms of such policies.
