Introduce chemical castration to sex offenders when there is strong evidence. — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
There are too many females, especially young girls being sexually abused in the UK and jailing the individual isn't going to stop this behaviour, stronger actions need to be taken. You can't ignore what is happening, sweeping it under the carpet.
The current sentencing guidelines in the United Kingdom have often faced criticism for failing to provide a sufficient deterrent or a permanent solution to sexual violence. With rising concerns regarding the safety of women and children, many argue that incarceration alone is an insufficient response to the cycle of recidivism. To truly make the country a safer place, the UK must explore more rigorous preventative measures for high-risk offenders, such as chemical castration.
