The conditions determining statutory offences as represented by indictable sex offences, have been amended and revised by the 4th Penal Reform Law of the Federal German Penal Code, in 1973, under the heading "Indictable Offences against Sexual Self-Determination". This heading, which is meant to convey a programme, however, does not agree with the actual contents or core of various paragraphs. These new statutes have been violently criticised by opponents coming from quite different camps. The development of sexual delinquency shows a rather decreasing crime rate since the end of World War II, compared to the increase in other categories of crime. The most frequently recorded sexual offences concern the performance of sexual acts with children, rape and exhibitionism. It is in these groups of criminal offences that we are most likely to find delinquents in whom psychotherapy seems indicated. Criteria for indicating such treatment are the desire of the person in question to receive treatment, and the presence of a personality disturbance; it is not the deed by itself. The article then cites the paragraphs under German penal legislation which are important when arriving at a decision to refer a delinquent to psychotherapeutic treatment; these are Sections 56 c, 63, 64 German Penal Code, Section 10 Penal Code for Adolescents, and Section 9 of the Federal Law Enforcement Act.
1973年，《联邦德国刑法典》的第四次刑法改革法对以可公诉性犯罪形式呈现的法定犯罪条件进行了修订，修订后的内容归入“侵犯性自主决定权的可公诉犯罪”这一标题之下。然而，这个意在传达一项计划的标题，与各条款的实际内容或核心并不相符。这些新法规遭到了来自不同阵营的反对者的猛烈批评。自第二次世界大战结束以来，与其他犯罪类别的增加相比，性犯罪的发生率呈下降趋势。记录最为频繁的性犯罪涉及与儿童发生性行为、强奸和露阴癖。在这些犯罪群体中，我们最有可能发现似乎适合接受心理治疗的罪犯。表明需要这种治疗的标准是当事人接受治疗的愿望以及人格障碍的存在，而不是犯罪行为本身。文章随后引用了德国刑法立法中在决定将罪犯转介接受心理治疗时很重要的条款；这些条款包括《德国刑法典》第56 c条、第63条、第64条、《青少年刑法典》第10条以及《联邦执法法》第9条。
