The study examines the modes of subjectivation, and self-positioning of pedophile men based on therapeutic strategies, self-descriptions and social discourses. Sexual control is defined as a power technique that on the one hand enables the pedophile to become a subject and on the other hand stabilizes social structures and social norms. This study is a dense and complex analysis that uses the borderline figure of the pedophile to make social power and structures visible and is therefore informative and relevant to many academic and practice-oriented disciplines.
