Peodophilia may be caused by something exogenous (being abused themselves or neglected) or it may be a brain disease ( you know like a disease of any other organ)
But infectious it is not.

Child abuse is not catching. Like Messie said, there may be contributory factors, such as a person having been the victim of sexual abuse as a child and then going on to become the abuser. However, to make a comment that it is infectious was just a tad ignorant.

Totally agree.
When I was at college ( many years ago
), I had to do a 5000 word essay on all forms of child abuse. 6 months of investigating led me to the conclusion that abuse has always been with us and that there are many reasons for abuse. There are environmental, physical, emotional, psychological factors that need to be addressed in each case of abuse.
This means that one form of punishment is not going to be ideal for each case and will certainly not stop the problem.
As for the death penalty, i'm all for it, if it fits the crime.
