Pedophile says 'two strikes' law will cause deaths, page 3

What we have these days is an interesting problem, I'm going to try to explain my position without sounding like I'm on either "side".

Our modern society is so sexually charged it's a wonder there isn't more rape. Everywhere you turn almost everything is related, in some way, to sex. The problem for someone with a sexual addiction such as Pedophilia is that it can be near impossible for them to "get over it" when they receive a bombardment of constant reminders every waking day.

When one is trying to quite smoking it's best to not be around people who smoke. When you're trying to lose weight it's best to ignore the McDonald's ads for Big Macs and Shakes.

Our American Judicial system, I feel, is one of the best there has ever been. However, the Penal systems and the current concept of "reform" needs a lot of work. It matters little what crime you are in prison for, the commonly accepted rule is that you will come out a better criminal with more connections than when you went in.

Now, that isn't discounting the fact that prison for a pedophile has to be hell on Earth as even hardened murders have it out for pedophiles,

I do agree that the concept of a two strike system for these types of crimes will lead to increased violence and desperation on the part of the perpetrator. We've already seen this happen with the Three Strike drug policy. When someone can end up in prison for life simply because it's their third time caught with a bag of dope they are very likely to run from the police and commit more crimes than if they had a reasonable sentence.

So, what should we do then? It's a hard question to ask but I believe that pedophilia needs to be better researched. The old concept of a drooling, heavy breathing "sex maniac" is antiquated and ignorant. Just look at the news, if we are to use the generally accepted term of "Pedophile" then we are seeing an increased number of FEMALE pedophiles who seem to be getting less severe treatment than their male counterparts.

There are other destructive sexual compulsions, such as serial murder, that are studied with great intent and interest, I really see no reason why Pedophilia should not receive the same attention.

However, I also believe that a free and civil nation like America should be free of Summary Judgments, Lynch Mobs, Disproportionate Punishment, Forced Sterilization, Government Endorsed Ostracization and anything of the like for any crime due to the rule Precedent in our court system. If it's been done before to someone else, it's acceptable to request that it is done to you.
