American Sex Offence Penalty Regulations

Chemical castration has attracted more attention under the international background of increasing crimes of sexual violence.Chemical castration has experienced more than one hundred years of development and has become increasingly perfect both in theory and in practice.The paper discusses this issue.The thesis begins to discuss "chemical castration" from the perspective of law."Chemical castration" is an endocrine therapy,also known as drug castration,which injects gonadal stimulating hormone inhibitors into criminals to make them lose their sexual impulses and eliminate the unique human response of men.The vast majority of countries define the nature of "chemical castration" as a therapeutic therapy.Sex offenders who meet certain conditions voluntarily receive this therapy to obtain "suspended sentence" or "reduced sentence",and through wearing electronic anklets and assisting in regular psychotherapy.Chemical castration is essentially different from surgical castration.Physical castration is similar to castration in ancient China.The punishment tool is directly applied to the genitals.The process is very cruel.While chemical castration is a therapeutic method,which can inhibit hormone secretion by injection or oral administration of drugs and ultimately achieve the purpose of controlling crime.It is completely different from surgical castration.Chemical castration originated from the earliest treatment of homosexuals.The United States was the first to adopt these treatment methods to deal with sexual perverts and incorporated them into the legal system.Gradually,most states in the United States introduced laws to provide for "chemical castration".Countries such as the United States mainly target "chemical castration" at criminals who commit crimes against minors,especially those recidivists of sexual crimes who suffer from paedophilia,sex offenders who resort to violence against relatives,and those who have multiple previous sexual crimes.The applicable conditions of "chemical castration" take the United States as an example.The subjects to be treated not only need regular drug injections,but also need to wear electronic positioning devices.They will even make public announcements in the community and the government will provide relevant criminal records for inquiry.Chemical castration has aroused widespread controversy.Countries that support chemical castration therapy are represented by the United States.These countries believe that chemical castration can not only effectively reduce the crime rate of sexual violence,but also has a good crime prevention function.From the perspective of the implementation effect,the effect is quite significant,considering the improvement of criminal law concept,the remarkable medical effect and the necessity of implementing chemical castration for extreme sexual perverts.Countries opposing chemical castration mainly include Australia and New Zealand.Countries opposing chemical castration are based on human rights,criminal reasons,drug efficacy and retaliation.They believe that the existing practical data cannot prove the effectiveness of chemical castration and may even have adverse consequences of retaliating against society.Finally,the author summarizes two different viewpoints.Although the supporters and opponents have good reasons,the increasing trend of crimes of sexual violence is a fact that cannot be ignored.On balance,"chemical castration" has more advantages than disadvantages.China has the conditions to introduce chemical castration therapy.In contemporary China,the current situation of sexual crimes is very severe,which has laid an empirical foundation for the introduction of chemical castration therapy in our country.The continuation of ethics,the change of penalty concept,the single risk of prison correction and the relative protection of human rights constitute the theoretical basis for the introduction of chemical castration therapy in China.The construction of China's chemical castration system can be started from two aspects,including the basic system construction and related supporting measures;The construction of the basic system includes amending the types of criminal laws,applicable objects,promulgation of laws and regulations,and protection and relief of the rights of sex offenders.Supporting measures include setting up a specialtyOur law enforcement team,professional attending doctors and psychologists are involved,and sex offenders are monitored throughout the process.
