The author discusses ritual male circumcision within the context of the criminal law in light of historical developments including recent judgments and subsequent legislation in Sweden and Germany. While currently legal, he argues that circumcision should be criminalized in order to protect the physical integrity of the child. He is, however, not optimistic in regard to the chances of passing such a measure in the Danish parliament. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
