Persons convicted of a pedophilic crime ought to be treated and not incarcerated in all instances

1)As previously mentioned, treatment does not guarantee that the pedophile who commits a pedophilic crime (and those who don"t commit a physical act itself) will be stopped through any form of treatment. 2)For example a Chemical castration, which is a form of treatment for pedophiles, uses drug called a Depo-Provera. 3)Depo-Provera that given to man, act on the brain to inhabit hormones that stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone, may have adverse effects of angering a criminal. 4)Anger cause increase in his violent tendencies which lead to additional sexual abuse. 5)Depo-Provera injection must be mandatory and monitored otherwise its effect are reversible. 6)Continuous medication and monitoring extremely costly for only a temporary result. 7)Depo-Provera in some instances cause side-effects such as: diabetes, blood cloths. 8)There is insufficient evidence to prove the effectiveness of treatment for pedophiles. 9)Treatment of pedophiles is costly, long-termed and the outcome is uncertain, until another sexual offense has been committed to a child by him/her. 10)Our medical knowledge, the science is not ready to successfully treat and cure all pedophiles permanently. More research needed- In 1987 survey of countries in three states, 80% of convicted child molesters were sentenced to probation, with no prison time served if treatment accepted as a condition of probation. 11)There are many negative consequences of getting a treatment and not the imprisonment for pedophiles 12)Getting back into the society and building the support from people who will trust and help a convicted pedophile once he re-enters could be very frustrating. 13)But if pedophiles would not be incarcerated, than it would emotionally further upset the parents of the molested child. 14)Failure to punish pedophiles shows failure in our justice system which might push afamily member to take "justice" into his/her hand and commit revenge. 15)Not seeing an imprisonment for a Pedophilic act on a child by an adult will be seen as unpunished act. 16)An act which goes unpunished considered to be accepted by society as a legal act and not a wrongful act. 17)By inducing good (treatment) for bad (pedophilic act) makes the pedophile a victim rather than the child. 18)Victimization of a pedophile is degrading to the molested child itself and its family. 19)Sexual molestation violates the child's emerging self-identity and can be a long-term psychological impact on the child. 20)A child Psychiatrist visits will be costly for the parents and time consuming. 21)There are different degrees of pedophilia: those who actually commit physical sexualoffenses and those people which don"t do bullying, no coercion, no abuse of power and get sexual pleasure by only watching prepubescent children photos. 22)Whether raped or only sexually molested a child is not important, the act itself of sexual Molestation is, so it must be punished and the guilty locked away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore persons convicted of pedophilic crimes ought to be incarcerated and not treated in all instances.
