These "studies" that show a link between pornography and crime are just like any other statistic - easily manipulated. I'm sure there is a pattern between porn and crime and/or sexual abuse. But it's not the porn causing the crime and/or sexual abuse. Criminals, the sexually abused, and sexual abusers are more likely to have difficulties with normal relationships, and thus more likely to use porn as an outlet for their sexual expression. This is the reason for the pattern - it's not a cause/effect type deal (but let's not kid ourselves - while many porn surfers are normal, we also deal with the dregs of society in this biz)
