Abstract
This research analyses the nature of online peer support for non-offending pedophiles and assesses its functions and effects by performing a qualitative content analysis of forum posts within different peer support groups. Despite the majority of participants on the websites being non-offending pedophiles, a minority reports hands-on and CSAM behaviour. This study shows that the studied websites offer both positive and negative effects. On the one hand, exchanging advice and coping mechanisms, emotional expression and building relationships enhance individuals’ general wellbeing and may serve as a protective factor against offending. On the other hand, frustrations may possibly lead to developing a more hostile position towards the outside world. A normative attitude towards sexual behaviour involving children may lead to internalising these views and create a deviant subculture. The findings also reveal different subcultures among non-offending pedophiles in online peer support groups. Further research into these different subcultures is recommended. Solely qualitative methods may be insufficient and are preferably combined with quantitative research.
