💨 Abstract

The UK's Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is considering mandating chemical castration for paedophiles and rapists to reduce reoffending by up to 60%. This approach, involving drugs to lower sex drive, will be expanded to 20 prisons before a nationwide rollout. The initiative is part of broader efforts to decrease reoffending and ease prison overcrowding. Developing this full approach with full oversight may serve children and families.
