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

(3) A pedophile might function in society but the urge to commit the crime will always be present. In addition to what you stated one who decides to commit a pedophilic crime does not have the state of mind a normal person would have therefore not allowing one to function in society. A pedophile has to have a sexual desire over children in order to commit the crime. Pedophilia has always existed and will always exist. In the past people would rape their own children and the family would keep it a secret in order not to shame the family"s name. Pedophilia is a psychosis, if a pedophile commits the crime he or she would not have any remorse to what was done and will not care if the action committed was legally right or legally wrong; they just want to fulfill their sexual desire. Therefore a person convicted of a pedophilic crime should be treated and not incarcerated. (4) Medication could be given in higher doses; as well there will also be other alternatives for medicines. Not all treatment is guarantee to work for the first part in order to be successful the person will have to accept he/she needs help. Alcoholics and drug addicts are treated everyday and within time of treatment they are successful. If doctors and psychologist are not able to determine future acts of sexual desires person convicted of pedophilia crime will be re-treated. (6) The money that would originally be used to incarcerate the person will instead be used for treatment. Depending on what the suspect is being charge for whether it"s a felony or a misdemeanor the cost could be higher to incarcerate than it would be to provide treatment. Treatment will vary; different people may require different remedies depending on the evaluation done on the pedophile. Treatment will be provided by a facility that would not allow pedophiles to drop out of therapy. The alternative to a punishment would be a highly focused treatment, which will involve higher supervision. (7) Therapist are available outside of the justice system and not inside of the justice system, If person incarcerated wants to seek treatment within jail the treatment will not be received. A person who has committed a pedophilic crime will carry around a shame, the humiliation of having to tell someone their crime will not allow him/her to communicate or want to ask for help. A pedophile will not confess his crime in fear of being raped in jail or even killed. In some cases a pedophile can become too dangerous in jail and might not be deemed well for the society. (9) Most people suffering from an illness are able to hold a job and take care of one-self. An illness may not be seen at surface but will start to develop at its root. If in fact is not an illness such desires can still be treated by proper treatment. (13) As he/she is held with adults, the justice system takes away the person"s freedom and limits their chance of opportunities. Although they are in jail the inmates will have to face multiple challenges like being raped, beaten and a possible chance of being killed. If the punishment is not deemed successful, time and money would be wasted and other children"s lives would be at risk. (14) He/she is being arrested because we have laws that work against those convicted of a pedophilic crime. He/she will be kept in a facility surrounded by convicts. The society of jail that one belief will structure a person is an environment where people get hurt, raped and even killed. Such thing can structure one to develop aggressive behavior and a cause a person to live their life in a fear that someone is going to attack or attempt to murder.
