For me, perversion rears its ugly head when a person is abused and violated against their will, be they attacked, forced or simply to young to give consent. That to me is true perversion.fatmammycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307960277363243051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-32188089206320748342009-03-27T13:44:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:44:00.000+00:00And this is why I am increasingly, in contrast to ...And this is why I am increasingly, in contrast to Eejit, of the 'cut their balls off brigade.'Cycles Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808599865674594022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-17519774404382501362009-03-27T13:37:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:37:00.000+00:00they are cursed with a disease for which there is ...they are cursed with a disease for which there is no definite cure, and the problem seems to be that many offenders don't see anything wrong in what they have done. recidivism rates for released prisoners in the US is 60%, 50% in the UK. those are not great numbers.aidanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299408207538230030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-30393674475914294502009-03-27T13:04:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:04:00.000+00:00You're right of course FMC, and what I was trying ...You're right of course FMC, and what I was trying to say was that seeing rape as a sexual perversion (only) may place it in a similar class to say BDSM etc, in a sense making it out to be some "fetish" whereas it is a horrific crime against a person where the sex (according to research) is almost secondary to the need to control and humiliate that person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-37144177229843570142009-03-27T12:53:00.000+00:002009-03-27T12:53:00.000+00:00This is disturbing.

There was no question addressed to the woman about recidivism levels for different categories of sex offender who had, or had not been through some 'treatment' programme.<BR/><BR/>In the Irish context there would have to be discounting built in to the stats for age and opportunity - elderly priests confined to quarters have little opportunity to re-offend. But no doubt the general stats are available from other countries that have established programmes.<BR/><BR/>A global approach to all sex offenders, such as she seemed to be advocating, takes no account of serial/multiple/habitual offenders - those either with prior convictions or those who are convicted on multiple/sample charges for long periods of systematic abuse.<BR/><BR/>The "incentive", if there must be one, for serial/multiple/habitual offenders ought to be a doubling of the length of their sentence for NOT participating, successfully, in treatment programmes.<BR/><BR/>I know that determining the 'success' of a treatment programme is a judgement call fraught with danger.Conan Drummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377667084973491628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-40653703233173095772009-03-27T01:18:00.000+00:002009-03-27T01:18:00.000+00:00I heard this woman this morning, and I can honestl...I heard this woman this morning, and I can honestly say that my eyebrows actually lifted to such an extent that they left the confines of my face and floated skyward and only for the roof of the car, I fear I would have remained in a permanent state of Beekerness, that poor unfortunate muppet.<BR/><BR/>I'm not of the "cut their bollocks off" brigade, but I am certainly not of the "Tell me of how your feelings led you to molest an innocent.<BR/><BR/>Crime, then punishment, then rehabilitation.
