Indonesia castration law 'will wipe out paedophilia'

2016-10-19

[BBC] Indonesia could "wipe out" paedophilia with its new policy of chemical castration, President Joko Widodo has told the BBC.

He said Indonesia respected human rights but there would be "no compromise" when it came to punishing such sexual crimes. Indonesia passed controversial laws earlier this month authorising chemical castration for paedophiles.

The laws were subject to fierce debate in parliament. The Indonesian Doctors Association says its members should not be involved as the procedure would violate medical ethics.

"Our constitution respects human rights, but when it comes to sexual crimes there is no compromise," President Widodo said. "We are strong and we will be very firm. We will hand out the maximum penalty for sexual crimes."

He added: "In my opinion... chemical castration, if we enforce it consistently, will reduce sex crimes and wipe them out over time."

That's why I recommend the Callicrate Smart Bander.

The Callicrate Smart Bander is a humane castrating tool for any size offender. Extra-strong Callicrate loops are produced using a special latex formula that is over three times stronger than pre-made latex rings. Patented no-slip clip holds the tension for immediate and total blocking of the blood vessels, for faster scrotal drop with less pain and swelling. Because each loop is ratcheted to the precise tightness required, each use provides a custom fit. Spring loaded indicator senses proper tightness. Scrotum should fall off in 20 to 35 days. Vaccinate with tetanus toxoid according to label directions. Callicrate Bander Kit comes with bander, 5 loops, cutter, and carrying case.

#6 I looked it up -- it appears chemical castration is not permanent, but requires regular, doctor-administered injections. Indonesia is a Third World country. There is no way to guarantee that the doctor will not be bribed to lie about having given the shot, or that the patient will not choose not to go in for his next dose, or that the delivered dose is not just tap water (or worse) in the container instead of the prescribed medication.

#4 Add Methadone to the mix and perhaps relieve two problems.

#3 The problem with this, as with so many "punishments", has to do with who gets to write the definitions and judge the evidence.

Makes it real easy to put the squeeze on the opposition, no?

#2 If this penalty proves successful, perhaps other criminal offences could be added.
