Summary/Abstract: The starting point for these considerations is the inclusion of the interdisciplinary context, hence legal, medical, as well as psychological aspects had to be studied to provide an accurate overview of the problem. Taking into account the broad range of material available on the subject, in this work an attempt was made to bring closer only the most crucial topics revolving around containment of paraphilia. Above all, an effort has been made to synthetically describe the procedure of dealing with preferential sexual offenders, starting from the definition of an offence, consequently portraying the judicial proceeding and ultimately concluding by addressing the practicalities of therapeutic action and potential preventive measures against sexual recidivism.
