Re: Comment on this statement relating to crime and punishment
I really don't understand how we got to this point, maybe it's my fault.
Currently, we unjustly convict people all the time. It happens.
All I am proposing is that, the punishment for convicted sex offenders be such that it prevents these people (who have an unusually high tendency to repeat offend) from repeat offending, whether that be by castration or lifetime imprisonment. How is this analagous to murdering innocent people who might be sex offenders? How is it different from what we currently do, other than changing the punishment, arguably making the punishment somewhat worse?
