Preventative Justice
Can pedophiles and hebephiles be contacted and helped before they offend? We talk to a non-offending pedophile about his struggles to find therapeutic help in the current system. Also we speak to the people behind Prevention Project Dunkelfeld/Troubled Desires at the University of Berlin. Discover the resounding success they’ve had helping pedophiles and hebephiles that want to be helped.
