Abstract

This article examines the government's proposals to criminalise the possession of extreme pornography. Drawing on the diverse responses to the government's 2005 Consultation Paper, it argues that the "categories" approach to regulating pornography, underpinned by a focus on "harm to women", is preferable to the traditional morality-based obscenity standard found in the Obscene Publications Act 1959.
