Not my job to go into studies and remedy bad opinions (talking general, not you synopsis)

I have stuff to do peace

Ppi isn't a random website lmao and they are literally quoting the bjs

The idiot scurrying away ^

So again, most s***offenders dont recommit sexual crimes

What makes more sense

1. Demonizing someone who has committed no actual crime, knows what they're feeling is wrong and wants to get help but is afraid of the stigma so now they harbor these urges for life and all.the negative consequences of that

Or

2. Giving them help

I trust academic research more as it goes through a standardized process and isn't politicized to support any one view. (Outside of paraphrasing in news article)

Aren’t there already places that do that. I’m sure I started watching a doc about pedos who were self aware and went to some place to get help

I'm not sure but clearly it needs to be undertaken at a larger scale.

And all the data shows that s***criminals recommit s***crimes at a very low rate.

The studies I linked you basically invalidate the entire recidivism article/statistics you're citing to support your view. They aren't appropriate metrics, feel free to go through it if you want. Like I said I have gtg do work.

ppl being purposely obtuse itt

Synopsis knew he’d get flamed for making this and of course there are people who no amount of rehabilitation could help, but it’s really tough to support a system that so openly profits from locking people up and advertises high recidivism rates to lure in investors.

Of course therapists can be fallible. But that's why I would be very unlikely to leave it in the hands of one therapist to determine if a potentially dangerous person gets rereleased back into the general population. Now, if what people are telling me is true and certain people can't be reformed, because they suffer from sort of condition in their brain, then something tells me we'd be able to diagnose that, and perhaps this condition can't be helped. so what happens? they simply don't leave the facility.

as ive said before, im also heavily concerned with alleviating the conditions that lead to most murders. but I fully believe for instance that if Person A robs person B and ends up killing them in the process, that person A can be rehabilitated and that his crime can be eradicated simply by making it so that the conditions for it occur no longer exists.

Definitely dont think it’s a bad idea to try

Obviously number 2, but dumbasses gonna be low IQ dumbasses, but good on you for teaching him(giving him help too)

therapy barely works for people with ANXIETY and you think it’s gonna cure murderers and rapists

No, it really doesn't lol

"they make be sexual in their underlying behavior"

Again, what is the point of this? And I'm not concerned with the crime itself being under reported. That is a whole other issue altogether, and even now we all clearly know that not all sexual offenses are the same.

Yes, I'm willing to give it a shot.

I believe everyone deserves redemption no matter how heinous the crime is.
But I also believe there should be way to determine if they are able to function in society and not commit those crimes again. Until something like that is developed, all we can really do is turn these prisons into a rehab facilities. So yea I agree somewhat

OP’s dad is doing 25 to life

i truly believe some people would throw them in jail just for thinking thoughts lol

He's literally advocating for thought crime... That's why he's an idiot.

OP never been to the deep web

if we had a program in all prisons that could truly determine if someone is truly reformed, by all means release all prisoners who pass it

I'm along these lines as well, where even though I'm going to show my bias in this where this is a thread where you'd like to keep bias out, I know that there are certain crimes that I believe can't be forgiven. However, given the current set up of our prison systems and how they exploit those who commit even non-violent crimes, let alone the more heinous ones, the alternative of them becoming rehab centers to determine if the individual can return to normal society, that alternative would be preferable.

Synonyms thread blew up
