Sex offenders to be castrated under new law approved by US state
Alabama becomes the seventh US State to allow castration of some sex offenderswww.independent.co.uk
Yes, in the cases there it's 13 and under which is full-on, mentally unwell pedo types and they're not likely going to be rehabilitated, it's far removed from say a 15/nearly-16 year old and an older (but still teenager) boyfriend etc.
It would actually in plenty of cases as it removes the drive for that, their sexual desire and capacity for arousal is massively reduced... and ultimately that's the issue with them, they're defective people in that respect and if they've shown that they can't control the condition themselves then for the safety of everyone else they should have some forced treatment if they're to be released into society as the reoffending rate is high.
I guess there could be some other parole conditions too - like pedos having to have their phones/internet monitored... any unregistered phones being a breach of parole conditions and return them to jail.
I think as soon as a person attempts to act out in the real world their life should change forever.
I think people who are addicted to online porn and it's drifted in to this depravity might be able to be rehabilitated at some point.

I'm certain those conditions are already applied, just incredibly hard to 100% monitor. It's why most sex offenders will be released to an open prison or a hostel - so curfews, activities and posessions can be monitored.
Child sex offences should just be automatic life terms, but then I suppose the fear is that it's more prevalent than people wish to admit and no amount of prisons would contain it reasonably. The problem I have with mutilating people is that (though I can see the merit for nonces/sex offenders in general)... where does it stop? Do we start cutting off legs for disorderly driving?

I think you're right that the true scale of sexual offenders being bigger than anyone imagined. Also many kids themselves are committing these offences, even producing illegal material which would put them in the most serious category.
I think there needs to be a serious and complex rethink of the whole subject because the system is broken.
For example if a 17 year old person poses sexually naked and takes a photo and sends it to their 17 year old partner (sexting I think it's called), then technically they are both sex offenders. Even if the police caution them instead of charging them they would still go on the sex offender register.
Sexting
This guide will provide an overview of ‘sexting’ and will explain how to defend a child who has an allegation of sexting made against them.

That's where the death penalty comes in to held a hand.
'Chemical castration' isn't mutilation. It's just a testosterone suppressant.

I thought it was proved that castration didn't work with some paedo's.
It's all about the power & control plus they still like looking at pictures, it isn't always about the sex.

The majority of released child sex offenders don't re-offend. Partly because most child sex offenders are family member or friends and when the children they attacked grow up they don't have further opportunities to offend.
It seems to be popular to imagine that child sex offenders are a uniquely terrible kind of offender but for the most part that's not true. Repeat and unrepentant offenders like Glitter deserve to spend their lives in jail - for the protection of others more than anything else - but he's the exception not the rule.

The problem with that, is it doesn't work.
The "castration" is only chemical and as soon as you stop taking the pills, off you go again, so to speak.
Hopefully he'll die there...
Gary Glitter won't be released from prison, Parole Board rules
The disgraced singer was recalled to jail less than six weeks after being released last year for breaching his licence conditions.news.sky.com
I think it's likely he will. He has just offended too many times now and been caught. I think he had a chance to slip under the radar some years ago, but it's too late now and he only has himself to blame.
Yes. I mean there are plenty of paedophiles around, they just don't offend. And there are plenty of opportunist criminals who are not paediphiles. I think it is worth giving them a chance to "be afraid of prison", which might work worth criminals who aren't paedophiles. But I don't believe it is possible to reform a paedophile and someone like Glitter they need to throw away the key. He has had enough chances.
