I haven't read no more than the first page but i needed to talk,
I saw a documentary about human brain. In the documentary, it was told that most of the criminal behaviours are shaped by the damaged or defective parts of the brain. But the researches about these parts were kept secret, because it would simply cause people to commit the crimes and put the blame on their damaged brains.
Since most of the damages comes from the genes and birth, then it would we impossible to judge or punish people for the crimes they commited.
I have doubts about this problem. Of course we can not judge the people suffering from heavy psychotic diseases, most of them has no connection with the reality. I know from my aunt, she is heavily sick with paranoia and schizophrenia for more than 30 years. Let me explain with an example, she may sacrifice her life for us-her nieces and nephews. But when she goes through a crysis, she may even kill us without hesitation. Once she attacked me because her imaginery friends told her my mother is evil and i'm evil's daughter. Everything has happened in a blink of eye, she took the blade from the kitchen and i saw her running towards me shouting "bitch". Luckly my uncle and cousine managed to stop her and take the blade. Long story short, i believe in the necessity of giving the medical treatment instead of putting such people to the jails.
But on the other hand, pedophilia is not a psychotic disease. It's a behavioural disorder rather than something caused by a damaged brain. Most of the people with pedophilia has total connection to the reality. As far as i know most of them are aware of the wrongfulness of the thing they desire. I think at this point, it's a matter of choice. You know, most of us have ambitions, most of us hold grudge, most of us want to kill somebody at times. For example, whenever my boss behaves in a rude way while he's telling me to do something, i close my eyes and imagine myself killing him. Later on i feel a little guilty for imagining such a horrible thing. But most of the time it helps me to get rid of my anger. As far as i know most of the people chooses to get rid of their anger this way, though some of them choose to make it for real. There's a line between doing and imagining something. And it's the power of fighting with our wills, what keeps us in the good side. Now that the pedophilia is defined as a disorder, i think they must have medical treatment. But also they must be jailed too so that they can see what happens if they listen to the voice of their wills. I think if they have medical treatment and mental healing, they even can feel the pricks of conscience, and take some lessons.
