Louisiana Lawmakers Consider Castration for Sex Offenders


AP

BATON ROUGE, La. — Castration could be a sentencing option for some sex offenders in Louisiana under a bill approved by a state Senate judiciary committee.

The bill by Senator Nick Gautreaux, an Abbeville Democrat, requires a judge to order treatment for certain second-offense sex criminals with a specific drug designed to diminish male sexual urges — if a medical expert agrees that the treatment would be effective.

An offender who doesn't want the treatment could opt for physical castration. Gautreaux says some offenders may indeed want castration in hopes of avoiding the drug's side effects or permanently ending the sexual urges that led to their crimes. His bill goes next to the full Senate.

There should be no such thing as "certain second-offense sexual criminals"...

a) this will never pass supreme court muster - are we ****in Islamic extremists, cutting off body parts?!

b) there are many degrees of sexual offenses. I can only hope those boobs will make the distinctions necessary.

c) it's been proven that testicle removal does NOT remove the craving for sex - it merely stops the production of sperm. These boobs probably don't know that sexual urges come from the BRAIN.

I guess these guys never saw the movie "Gator Bait" haha
I think a certain percentage of rapes are opportunistic sexual gratification. And another percentage is from the drunk and disorderly. But the main portion of repeat offenders suffer from a much more deep psychosis. It is for the most part a violent crime that is related to control/domination of another individual.
In short, I don't see how castration is going to help. If you are already mad at the world couldn't you as easily find another weapon? Or means of sexual dominance for that matter.
Also I don't like any form of mutilation. I didn't even get my ears pierced till I was 35 and have regretted it ever since. If I'd had a choice and knew what I know now I wouldn't have had any child circumcised. So, no. This seems screwy to me.

Exactly..castration will not prevent sexual crimes for they take place first in the mind and then they are acted out on the victim!
