We are soft of paedophiles because there are many of them in the upper echelons of our society including our Judiciary. Jimmy Savile and Rolph Harris had close contacts with the Royals for decades. Rumours must have abounded.

I'm more concerned about our Govts giving our police too many powers. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/apr/14/police-powers-prevention-orders-could-set-up-rival-justice-system-in-nsw?CMP=Share_iOSApp_ Under the ruse of terrorism and paedophila, new laws can be used against innocent people. The laws are adequate but the Judiciary won't implement them.

No need to castrate child molesters. Simply imprison them and they will receive sensitivity training from the other inmates.

“Research on child sex offenders found that recidivism rates are low (less than one-quarter had previous convictions for sexual offences)”
Gee, that means that for every 17 child sex convictions, only three children in the future, plus those we never find out about, will have their remaining lives ruined by recidivists after their five-year incarceration break.

“a focus on the medication of child sex offenders could detract from more effective modes of management for the majority of offenders” Like what?
