You talk about post-modernist society....what do you think are the answers to this problem. I am not putting you on the spot here, but I would like to hear what the perspective of a younger person is....to what is a crime that ruins young lives.

I was giving you an example of how the government would manipulate that statistic even further for their own benefit.
Post modernist society isnt a problem as its main factors are based on consumerism and materialism anyway not crime.
I think obviously paedophilia is a problem but over time solutions arise to crimes like this. Chemical castration is a good new medical way of helping cut down paedophilia, it should be forced on people if sterilization can be forced on mental patients, otherwise its giving more human rights to the paedophiles than people suffering from other mental problems.
I believe paedophilia will be eventually recognised completely by scientists as a mental defect, its treated as one in some areas of the law already, so forced medication shouldnt be a problem.
I think the prison system is the biggest problem and it is in need of funding to provide bigger prisons, more space and better organisation. For the time being there should be a 'clearing out' of petty criminals, they can be moved to secure accomodation and tagged, and those who need to be behind bars until a law is made for chemical castration of those at least willing should be given a chance.
I can imagine many paedophiles behind bars would jump at the chance to be normal and out of prison, so I should think the number of child attackers would be reasonably decreased after a short period. The only risk is that if it doesnt work as well as they intend and they make a mistake.
