REVIEW OF EXISTING BELGIAN LAWS AND POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF CONTROL REGARDING ABORTION, RAPE, INDECENT ASSAULT, PROSTITUTION, AND PUBLIC ACTS OF INDECENCY WITH GESTURES, IMAGES, OBJECTS, OR WRITTEN MATERIALS.

Abstract

THIS PAPER IS A REPORT OF A STUDY GROUP OF MEDICAL, LEGAL, AND CRIMINOLOGICAL SPECIALISTS ORGANIZED BY THE SCHOOL OF CRIMINOLOGY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BRUSSELS, BELGIUM. THE REPORT COMPARES METHODS OF CONTROLLING THESE CATEGORIES OF BEHAVIOR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THE CONCLUSIONS OF THE REPORT EMPHASIZE THE VARIABILITY OF LEGAL LIMITS FOR THIS BEHAVIOR ACCORDING TO PLACE AND TIME. ALSO EMPHASIZED IS THE FAILURE OF THE LAW TO ACCURATELY REFLECT CHANGES IN SOCIAL, MORAL, AND RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS. --IN FRENCH
