Pedophiles have only a slight chance of rehabilitation. That is the medical opinion of medical science. Psychiatry.

The rate of inaccuracy for psychiatrists is comparable to the rate of recidivism for molesters. By your logic, they should not be considered worthy of citation.

By the way, I think that recidivism rate is about 88%. You are expressly advocating that those who are in the 12% be given no chance, even though they have not (and will not, with the benfit of 20-20 hindsight) re-offended. That's punishment without a crime... prior restraint... and a WIDE open door for abuse by officials, all of which the Founders desperately feared and loathed.

Letting any of them out of confinement is a crime against the community.

Automatic life sentences no matter the circumstances? Great precedent to set.

Making the decent members of the community search databases, find where these people live, is rediculous.

Maybe a yellow star on their coat and a number tattooed on their wrist would be better?

Lock them away permanently. If they volunteer, execute them

It's spelled P - R - E - C - E - D - E - N - T.
You're screaming for one of the worst possible. Please think before advocating from pure emotion.

How about "child molester" tatooted on their foreheads? Then people would know to keep their kids far away from them.

It's not no chance. This man was not forced to kill himself. He could have overcome his situation. But the fact that he killed himself means we don't have to worry if he is in the 88%

"By the way, I think that recidivism rate is about 88%."

Insofar as we KNOW 8.8 out of ten will re-offend, how do YOU propose dealing with them?

It is not reassuring to learn that YOU know 8.8 out of ten will reoffend, yet you seem sympathetic towards the 100% class, more so than the victims and our decent society.

I have small to no sympathy for the 12% you seem inclined to stand up for.

As to youir criticism of medical science, I see no factual support. I first heard the near zero rehab statistic from a doctor, who I would otherwise consider a do-gooder type.

It therefore impressed me, since I would have thought she would want me to believe they could be rehabilitated.

Her medical treatment for them, is lockdown. Lifelong.
