The document defines paedophilia as acts or thoughts involving continuous and intense sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors towards children. It discusses symptoms such as onset in adolescence and attraction to children. Causes include biological factors like genetics, psychosocial influences from environment and tendencies to dominate, as well as technology enabling access to child pornography. Predicted impacts are on paedophiles and their families showing mixed emotions, victims and families demonstrating long-term psychological effects, and communities attempting to curb the issue through internet censorship, academic prevention programs, and strengthened legal penalties.
