Well im researching the subject online and i've encountered the results of clincal research that spans hundreds of sex offenders and clincal castration is far more effective than current psychiatric processes. And some criminals are choosing to be chemically castrated and finding that it works far better than any other 'remedy'. A lot of the studies I have found, and not all of them are pro-castration, indicate that therapy can often aggrevate the violent disposition of offenders and if it does work it is a gradual process that takes years. I think there is room in society for both options and that it should always be offered as a CHOICE to offenders and that in extreme cases we should chemically castrate them so that their testosterone levels can be managed, their sex drives curtailed or killed, thusly creating an inroad into their mind beyond sex and the desire to enact these hideous crimes on children.
Monday, March 5, 2001 The Los Angeles Times reports that surgical castration is becoming increasingly popular among convicted sex offenders as an alternative to indefinite incarceration. Many convicts serve their court-imposed sentence, but pose too much of a risk to others to be released at the end of their term. The state of California mandates either surgical or chemical castration (hormone shots that lead to impotence) before it will release certain sex offenders; in other states, convicts may voluntarily request that their testicles be removed in order to hasten their release. Though an oft-cited German study has shown that only 3 percent of castrated offenders committed another sex crime, compared with 46 percent of non-castrated offenders, many groups are against castration. The ACLU calls it "cruel and unusual" punishment (unlike the "kind and ordinary" treatment the victims received), while some victimsí advocacy groups are concerned that the effects of castration can be mitigated with testosterone patches, pills, and injections. --www.bust.com news section
And how do you feel about the criminals themselves choosing to be castrated?
And as this interesting article states, we should be doing what we can right NOW to stop children being raped. Every statistic i've seen, and they cant ALL be lying..suggests that while there isint enough data for an ultimate conclusion, chemical castration is by far the most effective means of preventing relapses currently on offer.
