Oh wow, I would love to read more about this. Since you said you're sure it was scrapped (I'm sure you're right), have you looked into whether any phase of this study has been documented online? I'm very interested in the polygraph aspects/results. The only thing cruel about this is the use of CP in the treatment, which is necessary for this study/treatment of an addict/offender. I hate how things can be turned around into "cruel and unusual punishment" in terms of the abuser or potential abuser.

"Sure" wasn't meant literally. I haven't researched it in the slightest. It was over two decades ago, and it wasn't a topic I cared to dig into too deeply back then pre-Internet (not that my editor would have allowed any such discussion in a family-oriented weekly anyway, LOL). You should dig into it and make a thread of your findings.

I've just started looking into it tonight. There is quite a bit out there when it comes to "abnormal sexuality" and polygraph. I haven't delved into the pedophilia studies yet bc I've only just started 5 minutes ago and the shallow searches require downloads.
3 things:
-Thank you for encouraging me to do something on my own.
-When researching, do you often come across having to download pdfs and other formats in order to view content? I don't trust and I don't know when I should. I don't know how to research in a safe way, but maybe I'm too paranoid.
-You said, "When I was a journalist..." What changed your distance from journalism? No need to answer if that's too personal.
