[edit] Picture
This template is being used, with it's picture of a gay man hanged for having sex with his consenting adult lover, on pages that include sexual assault, sexual abuse and peadophilia. The picture is grossly inappropriate and should not be used on those pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.227.195 (talk) 13:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, the picture gives a rather negative view of relation between sex and the law. Navigation templates should not be overly decorative, so a picture is not required. But if there is a picture it should be more neutral. Zodon (talk) 10:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- I concur with Zodon's comment and the removal of the picture. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 22:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intro
I created this template after a split involving a problematic "sexual violence and victimization" template that looked like a moral imposition on some pages. I encourage you all to add pages to "Sex and the Law" and add the template to those pages where possible.
Template:Rape should now be considered a separate topic, with its own template. forestPIG(grunt) 22:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] pedophilia and pederasty
Recently pedophilia and pederasty were added to the template. Neither one of these articles nor the concepts involved is clearly sex and the law. (As compared to child grooming or child sexual abuse, which clearly are related to sex and the law.)
Pedophilia is about an internal state - being attracted to or excited by certain things. For the most part law deals with observables (acts, statements, etc.) rather than feelings/thoughts. So although I would not be amazed if this set of feelings was outlawed someplace, the relation to law seems tangential. (Certainly the current article doesn't deal much with legal issues, and unclear whether one viewing it would be likely to want to navigate to the other articles on this template.)
The pederasty article deals a little more with law, although mostly about history. But again the legal or illegal issues seem to have been mostly factored out into the articles noted above. Again, not so clear that this concept closely links this article with the others on the template.
(As I see it the question for the template is are those viewing the article in question likely to want to view other articles on this template - not is this term also used to describe a crime, ...)
A somewhat related problem is the template currently titles this section as "Specific Offences", even with the notation that whether these are offences or not varies with jurisdiction, this is hardly a neutral presentation. Zodon (talk) 07:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Follwing the successful appeal of Mr Jeremy Clifford in the UK High Court on 1st April 2011, I wish to add a category "Miscarriage Of Justice" -- End request --> 94.110.70.177 (talk) 07:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I think that's a little too broad for this template. You'll find it on {{Criminal procedure (trial)}} though. — Bility (talk) 15:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
