摘      要：Eye tracking is used in sexology to identify attractiveness and sexual desire *** systematic review summarizes results of works that have used eye tracking to analyse paedophilic interest in order to investigate its potential as a useful forensic *** studies met the inclusion *** of them concerned a large study project and used approximatively the same sample of paedophiles(inpatients),forensic patients(without a sexual interest in children)and healthy controls to make comparisons between the three *** study added 11 self-declared paedophiles(outpatients)for a comparison between inpatient paedophiles,outpatient paedophiles and controls(healthy and forensic inpatients).One study compared a group of child sexual offenders with *** studies used static pictures of male and female subjects at different pubertal *** studies divided every picture into a different area of *** variables used are fixation latency(early attention)and relative fixation time,(later attention).Each study identified significant differences between the paedophile group versus other groups:shorter fixation latency on child pictures,longer fixation time on child pictures and number of fixation most important on child *** scores(age preference index and attentional control index)showed hight and/or moderate sensitivity and *** the results suggest the eye tracking can discriminate between paedophile interest and non-paedophile interest,there are too few studies on this specific topic and further research is needed with larger and different sample,carried out by different research *** these findings were confirmed,it remains unclear as to their impact in a forensic context when presented openly in Court.
