The Role of Pornography in the Etiology

of Juvenile Delinquency

A Review of the Research Literature

LENORE KUPPERSTEIN
Commission on Obscenity
and Pornography

After a series of hearings in 1955, the chairman of the United States Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency concluded that "undoubtedly, pornography is one of the contributing factors to the increase in juvenile delinquency and sex crimes in the United States" (Hearings on Juvenile Delinquency, 1955, p. 313). This conclusion was based on extensive testimony attorneys, police officers, customs and postal service officials, psychiatrists, school authorities, youth workers, and clergymen. In general, their testimony was based on personal experience with individual case examples or on inferences made from statistics indicating the rising incidence of crime and delinquency.

Examples of testimony based on personal experience with cases are that of the officers who noted that erotic materials act "as an aphrodesiac resulting in rapes, seductions, sodomy, indecent assaults and indecent exposure" (Clor, 1969, p. 40), or the statement by Dr. Frignito, chief neuropsychiatrist of the Philadelphia Municipal Court, that his court "has case histories in which arousal from smutty books led to criminal behavior" (Armstrong, 1965, p. 133).

Such testimony may be subjected to a number of criticisms, but the most obvious is that the simple citation of a number of instances, even a very large number in which delinquents or criminals have been known to possess, read, or
