💨 Abstract

Probation staff in England and Wales have been advised not to use the term "chemical castration" when discussing medication to manage sexual urges with paedophiles and sex offenders, as it may upset them. This guidance comes amid plans to roll out drugs to suppress sexual urges in 20 prisons, potentially making it compulsory. A trial will offer these drugs voluntarily, aiming to manage sex offenders in prison and upon release.
