What are the odds that this treatment will prevent further crimes? Is it an improvement in safety?

First off, as far as rapists go, remove the organ of offense and recidivism will be 0%.
Second, this kind of invalidates the argument that homosexuals are "innately" so, does it not? This seems to show that sexual deviants suffer from psychological problems, not hormone imbalances.

the procedure won't change the object of a pedophile's desire children, said a psychologist who evaluated Texas' three castrated inmates.
Oh, well psychologists are never wrong... It's such an exact science /sarcasm. Anyways, since the government won't kill or lock these sickos up for life, castration gives me some degree of comfort, whether some "expert psychologist" agrees with it or not.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I don't know, I think castrating sex offenders on their first offense would go a long way toward prevention.
That's a pretty stiff penalty.
I'm sorry...

I think it's a warning to parents that this is not a cure.

First off, as far as rapists go, remove the organ of offense and recidivism will be 0%. No. The crime of rape is one of power over another. If one weapon is not functional, another will be used.
To: ovrtaxt
This is not a penalty, it is done upon request.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Oh. Well, it would make a great preventive measure for anyone contemplating such a crime. Unfortunately, lawyers are involved, so any kind of common sense will probably never happen.

I'll admit, I didn't read the article thoroughly. I see your point now (I tend to automatically equate psychologists to liberal apologists). Still, since we live in society not sensible enough bar pedophiles from ever re-entering it, I see castration as a better option than the slap on the wrist prison sentence and "counseling" they usually receive.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Well I'll tell you what: I take Neurontin and Cymbalta for neuropathic pain.
A slight side effect is they take all (and I mean ALL) the starch out of your noodle.
I'd be safe in a harem.
So chemically castrated I am, to avoid the terrible pain of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

........I'd be safe in a harem...... But you're (I gather)not psychologically screwed up with a need to prey on other people in a manner manifested in a sexual fashion either.

Death penalty saves lives. And time. And taxpayer expense.

If the cut is done between the shoulders and head, it will work 100% of the time.
