Pedophiles and the Death Penalty

[Liability]

Some of us oppose a death penalty for any reason.

Some of us endorse a death penalty for some reasons.

It is a given that there is no "cure" for pedophilia.

So, the question is:

Do you support the option, in your state's criminal law, of the possibility of the imposition of a death penalty for pedophiles?


EDIT: I voted "yes." I am not a particularly strong proponent of the death penalty in general, but for the protection of society, that option needs to be on the table for pedophiles, imho.

I voted no on the assumption that you did not mean in the case of a child dying. I do believe long jails sentences and chemical castration should be required.

 

[hortysir]

yes

[Kevin_Kennedy]

No, I do not support the death penalty for any reason.

No, I do not support the death penalty for any reason.

Too bad criminals don't feel that way towards the rest of us

Which is why they're the criminals.

In cases of long jail terms I would require:

1- removal of thumbs...that way they cannot grab hold of anyone efficiently ever again.

2- removal of tongue...so they can no longer seduce with their voice or words.

3 psychical castration.

And optional depending of what they did, Cutting them off at the knees...so they will always have a child's perspective of how threatening an adult looks towering over them.

I oppose the death penalty, so I had to vote no.

I assume you meant perspective, and sorry I believe in the Constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment.

What I find most odd about your stance is that you are perfectly ok with all forms of child abuse except for sexual abuse.

But castration wouldn't stop molesting..

It stops the desire. At least that is my understanding.

 

[Kat]

I am mixed on this. I do support the death penalty, but not sure here...though I have felt like I could kill a molester myself at times when I hear about heinous crimes against children.

So seriously, how would the be stopped, if not by death?

hmm I am not so sure. I was thinking I have heard castration would not stop such crimes.
Is child molesting merely about sex? We know rape is not..is more about power.

I support the death penalty and would support it in this case.

Life imprisonment with zero chance of parole would also work.

Sadly, it is apparently not the case. Child molesting pedophile scum (like many rapists) are not showing sexual desire when they engage in their criminal behavior. It is instead, most often, just a psychologically very disturbed desire for power. They get off on a perverse form of control. Pedophiles who have been castrated have been known to substitute fingers or objects in place of their failed erections.

The life imprisonment with no chance of parole proviso would sufficiently stop those bastards, individually (specific deterrence). But there would be a cost or two. (1) As long as the scum is alive, he can try to do such things again, perhaps to some young or tiny fellow inmate. I'm not sure that would be the right thing to do to even an inmate who has little chance for assistance from anyone else. (2) Society would be deprived of the "general deterrence" benefit of the execution of a pedophile. If some pedophile sees another child molesting piece of shit getting the death penalty, it might just make him hesitate before doing the same thing to any other victim.

I'm not one to believe that the death penalty prevents criminals from committing crime. The death penalty has been around for eons and the crime rate is rising. It just makes criminals go to more extreme lengths to not go to prison and that usually involves committing more crimes in the process.
