Closed petition Chemical castration for all those convicted of child sexual abuse

We think that for all those found guilty in cases of child grooming and sexual abuse, along with a custodial period, they should be chemically castrated to help prevent repeating this behaviour.

More details

We want the government to introduce legislation so that the guilty persons are chemically castrated during their time in prison to help safeguard children from further harm and re-offending by prisoners.
