Sex Offenders: To Castrate or Not To Castrate

Rape is one of the most serious crimes committed to others. In the past few years there was much debate about whether sex offenders are voluntary castration or compulsive treatment. There are many arguments against favor and against against chemical or surgical castration for known sex offenders. First, it is important to explain the difference between surgery and chemical castration. Surgical castration eliminates male testes to eliminate male reproductive ability and to control the level of testosterone produced.

In some countries and the United States, chemical castration is used to treat male sex offenders. Unlike physical castration, it can be reversed by stopping the medication. For male sex offenders with severe or extreme epilepsy, physical castration seems to be effective. According to a large survey on 1036 sex offenders by German researcher A. Langelüddeke in 1963, it resulted in a recidivism rate of 20 years of less than 2.3% (80% in untreated control group). This is much lower than other expectations than the overall criminal's recidivism rate. I believe that many people are cruel and unusual, but physical castration does not affect the lives of men (compared with men who are not castrated)

In modern times, the Czech Republic surgically killed convicted sex offenders. As of April 2008, according to a report of the Human Rights Forum created by the European Commission, at least 94 prisoners over the decade were castrated in central European countries. The Czech Republic's defense against this procedure is voluntary and effective. According to Mr. Martin Hollý, director of Bohnice Hospital at Prague Mental Hospital, one of nearly 100 sexually abused sex criminals has never committed a crime. A series of criminals said that being castrated is "the best decision" he ever made: "On the one hand you must protect potential victims Newcastle Don Grubin, a professor at the University Neuroscience Institute, also participated in a chemical castration program supported by the British Department of Justice, but he opposed castration at first.

Several studies on castration criminals have been published and proven their effectiveness. In the case of a chemical castration sex criminal, this ratio drops to 15%, but it is still not complete yet at least that's all. In 1991, Johns Hopkins Medical Center published a study on 626 chemically castrated patients, and only 10% of patients committed sexual offenses after 5 years of treatment. In Denmark and Sweden, repetition rate decreased from 50% to 10% due to chemical castration. In the Netherlands, 700 sex offenders were castrated after multiple convictions, the recurrence rate dropped from 17% to 50%, 2%. It is not done by chemical castration, but it still shows that strict action must be taken to reduce repeated crime. These studies demonstrate that chemical castration is a successful technique that can prevent repeated acts of sex offenders.
