This book addresses the criminalisation of sexually explicit
material depicting or describing fictitious characters who appear
to be children. It is the first book of its kind to specifically
examine the expansion of the law to include fictional
representations of children, focusing on the law in Australia,
Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The author
explores the potential criminalisation of comics and subgenres of
manga that frequently depict childlike characters in a sexual
context. Of course, the need to protect children from harm
outweighs freedom of expression and the right to privacy; however,
this argument is complicated by the material being purely
fictional. Does prohibiting the fictional representation of minors
interfere with individual freedoms? Based on a detailed socio-legal
study, this book extensively analyses literature and pertinent
theories of criminalisation, such as the Harm Principle, Offense
Principle, and Legal Moralism. The book will be an invaluable
resource for academics and students in various disciplines,
including law, criminology, sociology, and psychology. It will also
be of interest to fans of fantasy fiction.
