Castration for sex offenders?

[Threepwood]

Well I don't see why anyone would bother with a strap on or other device

Because they havent got a penis to use any more?

Carrying out rapes with inanimate objects is actually pretty common. And so is men failing to get an erection whilst trying to rape. Hence one reason why castration is unlikely to work - if the usual weapon won't work, there are others to use. And castration later in life (i.e. post-puberty) has little effect on personality.

Then cut their head off instead!

I was under the impression that, like dogs, if you castrate them, they lose their sex drive, so surely castration, although it might not eliminate rape completely, surely it would decrease the occurances significantly?

Sheffield has two universities, you must have act as the counter balance to the weight of available learning

Fail on your part, I didn't go to uni in Sheffield

Point missed,

You; being in Sheffield, act as a counter-balance to the available learning, therefore any benefit to society offered by the available learning is negated by your unlearned presence.

I did not say you attended uni in Sheffield.

Christ! We've been through this before. Decapitation is the only sure way.

Thats a lot of words, when essentrially you're just trying to say I'm stupid, well I'm not the one who showed up late and jumped on the bandwagon just so I had something to type in this box. Stick to the thread title, or leave

Been reading up on this. Studies show that between zero and 10% of the sex offenders that have been castrated reoffend. So yes, I would say so, based on the evidence I've seen so far.

The trouble with the ones that do reoffend seem to be with ones who do not rape out of a sexual need, more of a power need. There are a couple of cases where the reoffenders have been injecting themselves with testosterone also, but that has lead to the obvious (in hindsight) testing of the castrated offenders testosterone leveles on a regular baisis.

To the OP

Of course the judicial system is never wrong.

However why would someone want to be surgically castrated when the chemical one is

a) reversable and

b) works very well

If one was innocent then I doubt one would be opting in for castration.

However why would someone want to be surgically castrated when the chemical one is

a) reversable and

b) works very well

Maybe the fact that it is reversable could be a problem. Could be more melon twisting than just having them off and being done with/accepting it.

There are potential health problem with taking the chemicals too, which afaik are none existent with castration.

How about castration for people who advocate castration? I'll take one for the team.

Torturing criminals is not morally or ethically justifiable no matter how much emotional or 'economical' spin you put on it.

If they in sound mind (although being criminals, that in itself is a debate) choose Chemical castration in order to curb their unwanted behaviour, then fair enough - but forcing it upon them is abominable.

I thought we had grown out of that kind of barbaric thinking. I guess this forum proves that we still have knuckle-draggers and dullards amongst us.

I'd say not considering you cannot rape someone without use of an actual penis.

 

[robgmun]

Only as a punishment for the guy who already did it, rape is acceptable in prison lol

I think it's only riff in US prisons, its nowhere near as bad in the UK

 

[elmarko]

You do understand how double blind trials work?,

They take a subset of people who wish to stop "raping" & give a number of them the drug & another set none of the drug.

You compare the difference in re-offending rates between the group who had the real drug & those who took a placebo.

That way you bypass the inherent bias when comparing the people who wish to stop commuting terrible actions & those who don't - as that's comparing apples & oranges.

That is how you determine if it actually works or not - this pretty much applies to any scientific test known & is the only of determining what's true & what isn't.

This is obviously in reference to chemical castration - as surgical isn't a good idea generally - cutting of parts of people as a form of punishment is not the hallmark of a civilised society.

The chemical kind should be viewed in a similar way to a person with anger problems taking medication to enable them to function in society.

Whilst not actually rape in the strictest definition in law, I don't see why the distinction is useful. "Assault by penetration" carries the same punishments.

 

[Richie]

Normally you're quite a stickler for the law as stated verbatim when posting on here about such matters

 

[pyropetepete]

Bullet to the head or lose your balls and be doped! I'd rather die

Then again i wouldn't be a knob and rape women and children!

I stated my views on this earlier in the thread;

to recap,

Castration as a voluntary measure only, you cant give them back if they are found innocent on appeal (which has happened lots of times). No castration offered for certain mentally ill people as they might not have the capacity to understand the consequences.

Sentencing can be out of touch; either too light or too heavy, I actually think there should be a specialist team of judges who solely sentence sex offenders that would tidy up the sentencing and make it more balanced avoiding errors as much as possible with judges experienced in that field.

Prison is the 7th level of hell for sex offenders, populated by knuckle dragging instruments of torture who have every intention of causing misery and harm to every sex offender they encounter. Keep the sentencing right and these minions will do the rest with no prompting or new laws.

No band wagon, my own views.

Law is too weak anyway. Bring back hang/draw/quartering. Simples. Too hell with their 'human rights'.

Crime deserves 'proper' punishment.
