Closed Castration of paedophiles and sex offenders

Closed on

I call on the government to enforce surgical and/or chemical castration of paedophiles and sex offenders urgently. I believe this would abolish / drastically reduce these crimes and improve society significantly, by removing / reducing the sexual drive of these offenders.

The offenders must also undergo psychotherapy to treat the illness.

Alternatively - incarceration until the end of the offender's life would keep our loved ones safe.

These penalties would not only act as a deterrent, but also treat the sickness so that society can flourish.
