In the article titled “Canadian Suspected of Sexual Abuse of Young Boys Tries to Kill Himself as Cambodian Police Come to Arrest” (http://news.nationalpost.com /2014/ 02/24/cAnadian-suspected-of-sexual-abuse-of-young-boys-attempts-to-kill-himself-as-Cambodia-police-are-arrested/), shocking story is reported of a Canadian man who attempted suicide after Cambodian police moved to arrest him on child sex charges (Humphreys, 2014). The alleged offender, whose name was not released to the media, is a resident of Montreal, Canada. Suspicions intensified after child protection workers, employed by the Cambodian group Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), received a tip on February 20, 2014 from a non-governmental organization in the Siem Keap area of ​​Cambodia. Conducted by APLE, the resulting investigation consisted of interviews with six boys, aged 10 to 14, two of whom initially admitted to having experienced and been victims of sexual abuse. While searching for the location of the identified suspect, APLE workers witnessed the individual leading four young boys into a forest. However, when police arrived at the scene, the suspect had disappeared into the trees. The four boys were subsequently taken to the police station for questioning, after which three boys admitted to having been sexually abused by the suspect. With the testimony of the three boys, the arrest of the Montreal man was ordered. On February 23, three days after receiving the first tip-off from APLE, police made an arrest by going to the suspect's temporary residence, a low-level hotel room. After realizing what was happening, the suspect locked himself in his room and attempted suicide, using a pocketknife to slash his wrists and... middle of paper... ication as punishment.

The biggest difference between Canada and Cambodia in how child sexual abuse is addressed lies in the levels of deterrence against it. The implementation of strong laws along with their consistent enforcement creates a high level of deterrence, which I believe is the most effective way to control crime. As highlighted in the article, Cambodia has already started this process. As long as the Cambodian government is able to persevere and continue its classicist approach to the law, rates of child sexual abuse across the nation will decline..
