Most "treatment professionals" don't get that this is really what's going on. It's also known as "refining one's technique."

Yeah, I think it must be like sending an 18 year old to 30 days in jail for some minor offense. He gets to hang out with people who were chemists and dealers and repeat shop lifters and there's nothing to do but talk. The kid comes out knowing exactly how to set up his own meth lab, the best way to boost things from Wal-mart, and where to get the best drug deals. Not exactly what the courts had in mind when they sentenced him for driving without a licence.

The chemical castration thing is probably as good a solution as any for repeat sexual offenders. I was aquainted with a man who got sentenced to a year of therapy for a first offense of exposing himself to a 4 year old girl. It was a plea bargain, of course. God knows what he REALLY did. He told me that he picked up pretty quickly on what the therapists wanted him to say and parroted the right words back at them so he could get off probation. I fear for any child he's around, but since he only has the one conviction and got such a glowing report from the therapy outfit, he's not even on the list of Colorado sexual offenders. It makes me mad.

How much research is ongoing into this disorder? Is it being mostly ignored? For example, were the benefits of castration really studied? How much addresses brain activity unique to such individuals? Or is it mostly based on what was done a decade previously - subjective experience?
