Canadian Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/sou...-home-headlines Sex offenders should have 2 options. 1) castration or 2) life in prison. 280489[/snapback] Personally, I don't think castration is the answer, in part because I don't think it will work. A sex offense is basically an act of violence. While castrating a rapist prevents him from commiting rape, it doesn't necessarily cure his violent tendencies. He'll just be violent against women/children in some other way. Besides, I don't think sex offenders should have "options" in the first place... so I vote for 2) life in prison. Put em away.

Azalin Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/sou...-home-headlines Sex offenders should have 2 options. 1) castration or 2) life in prison. 280489[/snapback] whatever their punishment, it should more accurately reflect that fact that if the poor little child survives the assault, their life is ruined. statutory rape is one thing (honestly, your honor.....she swore that she was 18) but pedophilia is quite another. forced sex with a pre-pubescent child is something that I could condemn the perpetrator to death for doing.

Gross negligence and depraved indifference are crimes and those who allow guys like this to be on the street should be charged accordingly. It’s time that judges and others who are responsible are sentenced to prison for allowing this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put em away. 280696[/snapback] A rape is indeed an act of violence. However, pedophilia is more about sex and more importantly, power and control. Many pedophiles have a prediliction to youngsters much as you or I have innate desires for the opposite sex or as homosexuals for the same sex. Its programmed into the brain and no counterprogramming can undo it unless you go to the source which is basically the testes. I'd be all for child molestation as a capital offense (with the exemption for 18 year olds bangin their 17 year old girlfriends) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is still there. Is your point to put them away and never return to society? I can see this point. What do we do when the "corrections" system gets overburdened? It is quite a quandry if it is some natural defect in the person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corrections system wont get overloaded with these perverts if we let them join general population. Frontier justice will take care of that for us. My main concern is with the recidivism rate at about 90%, I'm not concerned with THEIR rehabilitation, I'm concerned with protecting the public FROM them.
