For certain types of molesters treatment

It may. It may. And it's not worth the risk. The cost is just
way too high.

You assume that all molesters have committed the most heinous
types of crimes. Typical of the hysteria around this subject.
Some child sex offenders committed crimes like exposing
themselves, inappropriate touching, showing the child
pornography.

Now you are trying to double talk your way out of something here.
You know perfectly well these *treatments* aren't meant for
somebody who's *exposed themselves* to a child. The kind of
*treatment* you have been referring to is for serious sexual
offenses against children. We aren't talking the 'you show me
your/I'll show you mine.' Simple *touching*. We are talking
about child rapists, pedophiles, those who sodomize young
children. Don't try to change the subject of this discussion.

Actually, you're wrong. Not surprising, since you don't believe in
such treatment it is no surprise you don't know anything about
them.

Google up treatment for non-violent sexual offenses. See how
there are studies about recidivism rates for non-violent sex
offenders who receive treatment, and those who don't.

Who am I kidding, I've posted links to such studies before: you
never read them. You've made up your mind. All else is sophistry.

Still crimes, still worth

putting them in lockup, but not the same risk letting them out as
someone who committed more serious sexual offenses.

So you think these sex offender treatment programs you are
purporting are for flashers??? If you think I buy that, you are
WRONG.

Whether you buy it or not, yes they do order flashers in to
treatment.

I may be mistaken, but I do not think that tiny is saying that
treatment programs are not for flashers -- I think she is
expressing shock that you expect programs that are used for
flashers to work for the people who rape children. Get it?

Non-contact sex offenders are ordered in to treatment, and
no doubt some seek treatment on their own.

But continue to bury your head in the sand.

Actually, that is what you are doing. Why haven't you responded to
the very real issue I have raised? I said that treatment fails --
that there is no 100% successful treatment for any addiction.
Given that, do you think it is safe to gamble that treatment MIGHT
work, that a person who rapes children MIGHT not re-offend, and let
that person go free? I don't. Give the offender treatment in
prison, but make sure the offender STAYS in prison.


I did respond to it. I'll say the same thing again, since you
apparently missed that post:

You posit a false dilemma. You are pretending the choice is between
treatment or keeping them locked up. But it isn't. Few are
sentenced to life in prison. There is no realistic chance any time
soon that *every* person who molests *any* child will automatically
get a life no parole sentence on the first offense.

So these people will get out, with treatment or without. Your
dilemma is false.

So the choice is: get out with treatment, or get out without
treatment Treatment does make it less likely they will reoffend, and
treatment helps reveal which types of offenders are more likely to
reoffend and which are less likely .
