ABSTRACT

International policies and perspectives on pornography may be analyzed comparatively. Foreign nations’ policies may reflect ethnic and cultural understandings, thus those policies should not be judged (Cusack, 2014). Cultural homogenization is not a legitimate goal of the criminal justice system and is antithetical to the mission of a free society. Nevertheless, concerns about policies that fail to end abuse and international human rights violations are relevant, especially when international or foreign crimes affect American society.
