Description
Autumn Toronto Sexual Deviations in the Criminal Law: Homosexual, Exhibitionistic, and Pedophilic Offences in Canada, a study conducted by Alex K. Gigeroff and a research group at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, concluded that the proposed changes to the Criminal Code concerning sexual offences (Bill C-150) were inadequate, particularly those sections relating to "gross indecency." The study complained about the vague definition of "gross indecency" and its use to prosecute widely differing offences. Gigeroff had previously written several important studies, including " Sexual Offences in Relation to Homosexual, Exhibitionistic, and Pedophilic Sexual Offences with Particular Reference to Canadian Legislation and Case Law " (L.L.M. thesis. University of Toronto, 1966) and " The Evolution of Canadian Legislation with Respect to Homosexuality, Pedophilia, and Exhibitionism," Criminal Law Quarterly, no. 8 (1965—66), pp. 445-54.
