Castration for pedophiles and rapists becomes common practice in Great Britain

The Home Office of Great Britain announced a new measure to subdue the growing number of sex crimes in the country. Sex offenders and pedophiles will be offered a “chemical castration” – a drug treatment that will help them reduce their libido. This practice is not new in the United Kingdom, although the government intends to increase the provision. Chemical castration will be entirely voluntary. Furthermore, the treatment may often replace a punishment for criminals, politics.co.uk says.

The issue of child abuse has become especially important for Russia recently too. However, the Russian authorities have no plans to introduce a similar practice of chemical castration so far. The Russian society has been shocked with a sudden outburst of sex crimes against children which occurred during the recent several years.

The special drug treatment for pedophiles has proved to be successful in many European countries and several states of the USA. The number of repeated crimes based on sexual motives was reduced by almost 50 percent.
