http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/we-flinch-but-there-are-degrees-of-paedophilia-9616930.html We flinch, but there are degrees of paedophilia Archie Bland A very warped analysis from Archie Bland who joined the Independent in 2008 . There are degrees of paedophilia he argues. Its rather like saying that "there are degrees"of robbery, or rape, or assault or a hundred and one other crimes against the person. I am prepared to concede that there may be an argument for degrees of murder, crime of passion, diminished responsibility etc, but how do you measure degrees of paedophilia? A ridiculous concept.A person is either a paedophilie or they are not. There is no half way house. Archie Bland should find something more useful to do than to fill the pages of a national newspaper with complete drivel.
