Indonesia's President will soon sign a decree authorising the use of chemical castration to punish paedophiles, the attorney general said, following a string of headline-grabbing child sex crimes.

Indonesia will join a small group of nations that allows such punishment, including Poland, Russia, and Estonia, as well as some US states. In 2011, South Korea became the first Asian country to use chemical castration as a punishment.

"We are very concerned about child molestation abuse cases. This phenomenon has reached extraordinary levels," Attorney General H M Prasetyo told reporters after a cabinet meeting late on Tuesday.

They should put it in the immigrants drinking water in Europe.

Chemical castration is not really punishment. Pedophiles often complain that they cannot resist their libido and lust for children. So what chemical castration does is to do this for them. Importantly, it does not sterilize the person.

“Chemical castration involves the administration of antiandrogen drugs, such as cyproterone acetate or the birth-control drug Depo-Provera, which is given as an injection every three months, making compliance easier to track.

“The antipsychotic agent benperidol is sometimes used to diminish sexual urges in people who display inappropriate sexual behavior, and can likewise be given by depot injection. But benperidol does not affect testosterone and is therefore not a castration agent.”

Androgen deprivation therapy really works well to pretty much eliminate sex drive and ability to perform. Just ask any man who is on Lupron therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.

As rape is a crime of violence rather than sexuality, castrating rapists may increase recidivism rather than reduce it.

On the other hand, shooting them in the head eliminates the possibility of a repeat offense, particularly in the cases of child rape.

Women who make false rape charges like “mattress girl” should join them.
