ABSTRACT
Questions of gender and sexuality are currently being addressed by discourses of science and law enforcement with the ultimate aim of defi ning and controlling sexual citizenship. Criminological discourse in particular relies heavily on presumably shared notions of cultural norms regarding what constitutes nonoffensive and moral sexuality. Interconnected with the scientifi c notions of natural, healthy, and mature sexuality that are offered by sexology, they together constitute a disciplinary power, which attributes normalcy and legality to the conduct of some, and pathology or criminality to others.
