It'd seem that there isn't really that much research in this area. This is the only article I could find directly related to child SA, with a helpful conclusion:

Though I think that banning lolicon drawings would just make pedophiles go and consume actual child pornography, which is arguably worse.
Makes sense. As a clinical psychologist I am often frustrated by the lack of proper research done of pedophiles, I get it that is a very sensitive and disgusting matter for the population but we need data to identify and help this people before they commit crimes, just pretending they don't exist and waiting for the crime to happen is not helping anyone.
There's a lot of research being done about the president of the USA tho
I dont know if that will give you any usefull data though. His narcissism and dementia might make it hard to know what behaviours are due to pedophilia.
Though those symptoms might be related.
They have an island-worth of resource to study!
You can't exactly have a scientific test to see if the loli test group diddles more kids than the control group.
lmao 😭
The study I linked is self-reported inclination. I think more data can be collected that way.
I agree that the experimental design would be challenging, but surely we can find ethical ways of obtaining empirical data
I really hope you understand why. That "data" you're referring to is adults having sex with children. "Research" in this context involves adults allowing other adults to have sex with children so we can ask them questions about it.
The linked study doesn't feature any children being harmed, and there are plenty of ways to safely study the dark sides of the human psyche indirectly. Psychology research is often done in this way, as even acceptable behavior is difficult to study directly, since people often act differently when they know they're being examined.
I understand how studies are done, the experimental design would be tricky but surely we can come up with a methodology that is ethical and reliable
There is also a study of how availability of porn in general affected sex crime after the 1989 revolution in Czechoslovakia. Tl;dr aside from an uptick right after (which can be attributed to the country no longer being a police state) both child abuse and rape dropped, while other violent crime has not.
Obviously
