Let the innocent victim or victim's family choose the punishment and degree thereof.

If they even catch the bastard that did it in the first place.

These innocent people lose their lives most of the time. Even if they don't lose their lives physically, emotionally they die.

It's just a horrific crime against another human, and NATURE, for these rapists and pedophiles to do it at all let alone to continue in their ways.

Why? They wil choose a light punishment .

I seriously doubt that.

The majority would probably choose a severe; or even fatal fate for these monsters (rapists as well as pedophiles). I for one know more than one victim that are close to me. They also agree that once the court case has concluded, and the monster has been found guilty, just hand over the reigns to the victim or the victim's families to choose the punishment befitting them.

Let the court find them guilty, let the victim and their family choose the punishment! I still stand with that.

Perfect solution in my book; now nobody else has to have "blood on their hands."

Pedophiles must not be killed. They just must suffer for what they did. People judge them unfairly. They deservea more strick punishment. Here is the words of a psychologist about what pedophiles do - "There are numerous things that a pedophile can do to children. Most pedophiles start out by grooming the child. This is where the child begins to trust the pedophile and the pedophile befriends the child. This grooming process is to lower the child's inhibitions in preparation for sexual abuse. The process of grooming may take a while to build that trust, but it is this process that will make it harder for the child to come forward later once that abuse has begun and tell. This is because it is harder to tell on someone that you trust or care about. Some of the ways that pedophiles use to groom children may not be illegal in and of themselves, but when taken as a whole indicate that the pedophile is grooming the child to sexually abuse him.

Once the pedophile has groomed the child and the child is receptive or responsive to sexual advances, the pedophile is now open to doing any number of different acts, including exposing his genitals to the child, displaying pornography, viewing the child's genitals, physical contact with the child's genitals, sexual contact with the child's genitals (including masturbation, oral sex, vaginal sex, and anal sex), or using the child to produce child pornography. All of these acts are harmful to the child, maybe not physically, but definitely mentally and emotionally. It is illegal to have do any of the above with a child under the age of consent; it is abuse and it harms the child. Many times the child is afraid to come forward because he/she is afraid that he/she won't be believed or that they or their family or pets will be harmed by the abuser if they find out. Often times, the pedophile will play on these and other fears as a means to keep the child quiet.

You do not act upon the compulsions that mark one as a pedophile."

If this happened to you , thed didn;t you want to kill him or didn't you want his death?

Such "people"(actually, it's hard for me to call them as people) must suffer, because they have spoiled life of their victims or even deprived their life! The killing of the these "people" is NOT punishment for them!

Revenge is not justice. I agree with you that pedophiles and rapists are a special kind of evil, but calling for their heads is going to far.

... but choking someone in and out of consciousness while raping them is not going too far? The only reason I joined this site is because of people like you. You advocate for the criminals and don't think about the victims and the lives they are stuck with. My entire life has been destroyed. My only means of socialization are websites like this one. I life my life in horrible fear and there has been nothing that has helped me. I tell you what, after someone violently rapes you and leaves you for dead.... and after years of nightmares (to the point where you avoid sleep for days)... after the constant paranoia that someone is watching you or going to get you sets in... after you feel the disgusting way it feels when everybody knows how your body has been used... I challenge you to tell me what you are saying now.

OK, but imagine a family whose child was raped. Usually parents try to kill the "person" who did it. If this criminal simply sits in jail he will think everyday of the day of his freedom and his future victims. I think that there is no reason to try to help pedophiles medically, it is silly wasting of money. The government should do much more useful things.

Should be killed. Unless a rapist is killed, then more rapists will emerge.

Emerge? Like, appear on the face of the planet, ready to rape their first victim? Or grow from the ground? No. They're born and raised, and something causes them to want to commit rape. Instead of killing them, I suggest punishing them in attempt to correct their problem, and then trying to correct whatever caused them to be raised in that way.

Side: No

In my view, they should be killed. Who knowes will he kept in jail for life or not. If he have good behavior he can be free. Other argument, people have to take responsibility on thier actions. Why innocent people suffer from such pedifiles and serial repists and they just are kept in prison and continue living thier life. It is injustice for simple human beings.

Side: Yes
1 point

I think in most of the cases they should be killed,as it's obvious that when one day,the come out of prison ,it is highly likely that they keep on raping and doing other awful things.But death penalty can be replaced by the life sentence in order not to kill innocent people.

Side: Yes

Yes. The nature of man is to be tempted to do nasty things. In order to avert that strict policies and punishments must be pursued in order to avoid the destruction of the lives of innocent children. If your baby sister got pregnant by a rapist, her future is doomed. I feel so sorry for women who experienced that.

Side: Yes

Serial rapists should be jailed for life. Pedophiles should be jailed for a while, but that depends on the extent of their pedophiliac behaviour. I don't think they should be killed, because that's kind of extreme.

Side: No

I am not agree with you. Why should pedophiles be jailed for a while?! They will continue finding their victims after being set free. Do you think it is good way of getting such kind of extreme?

Some in extreme cases if they show no improvement, then keep them locked away. I am totally against the death penalty in ever instance. I swear to God there is not one instance where I would advocate the death penalty. There are worse things than death though.. :L Anyway, no there is such thing as rehabilitation and it works. It genuinely changes the mind, being attracted to small children is a deformity of the brain, which can be 'cured' easily through sessions of physcopherapy. I don't think these people should be killed. locked away yes, not killed.

Fine, then jailed for life. I see no reason to kill them, it's not the right way to solve a problem. Sure, it's the "easiest" thing to do, but come on. Are you saying that every "bad guy" out there should be killed?

That depends on the extent?!?!?! WOW that is brilliantly dumb! Look, these rapists and pedophiles clearly can't control themselves. I believe the world is better off with these people taken out of it. They cause too much harm to their victim's, whether it be physically or mentally. My heart goes out to all victim's of these monster's and I do think that we are wAYYYYYYYY to lax on these idiots. It just makes sense to me that however old these rapists and pedophiles are...clearly they have been in this world long enough to know right and wrong...they know that doing these things hurts their prey.

I stand with the innocent victims in these cases. Let these victims or their families choose the punishment for these sick bastards. (That's even if they catch these idiots)

The sad thing is you are arguing for them to get released back into the general population where I feel they will go right back out and do it again. This time they will know what NOT to do so they don't get caught.

Side: Yes

I believe the world is better off with these people taken out of it.

I ask of you to treat people with dignity, especially those pedophiles who did manage to change or agreed to be castrated or do not molest children. You are dehumanizing these people with no rational reason whatsoever. Castrated people are less likely to rape other people than even you moral crusader.

Dude.... chill. I get that what they do is wrong, but I don't think killing them is the right way to solve anything. If you don't want them to be released back into the general population, then jail them for life..?

Besides, people make mistakes in life, and not everyone deserves to get the extreme, final punishment for something that just might be their first wrongdoing.

Holy shit! Did you know that 1 in 3 college males says they would commit rape if they could get away with it. I know this is disgusting and criminal, but can you really condemn 33% of all college men to DEATH? I'd much rather find an effective way to help them realize how wrong this is. People who commit crimes deserve to be jailed should be jailed according to their crimes. If rape alone is the crime, then they should be jailed for it. Surely KILLING someone should never be acceptable unless they actually committed murder?

Side: No

I've been over the death penalty before.

But looking at pedophiles specifically, it's not death they need; it's help. Attraction is natural, and a pedophillic attraction is no different from a heterosexual attraction. This does not give them an excuse to molest children, but pedophiles should not be punished for natural impulses.

Side: No

Dude, it is NOT natural by any stretch of the imagination for some nasty adult male to have sex with or fondle a 2 year old baby. For that matter even being attracted to them in that way. That is in no way NATURAL!

If you believe heterosexuality is natural, then by default you accept that all other sexualities are natural, including pedophillia.

Ok, I understand people can't see how people think, or what they are thinking. But, these people cross the line all the time when they act on this "attraction" as you call it. They need to be dealt with accordingly.

No. That's just an easy way. Instead of helping someone who is obviously mentally ill, people just want to kill them. They CAN be helped.

And on a side-note, what's normal about society?

Side: No

Why deprive someone of their life when the issue is with their sexuality? Sexuality changes. Even if absolutely nothing else can be done these people can be castrated with their consent or locked away for treatment. The idea that we need to systematically murder people based on their sexual orientation seems intolerant and subhuman to me.

Side: No

I agree better to keep them in prison and research into their condition and try to find ways to "cure" them, if a "cure" can be found people might be able to be treated before they get to the point where they molest or rape someone this would be definately be prefferable to the death penalty which at the end of the day is just state funded revenge

Side: No

It's spelt "paedophiles" by the way. Paedophiles are not necessarily bad people, many never act upon their urges. It's not the fault of paedophiles they were born with that problem, however if they don't control their behaviour they can become a danger to society. But murdering someone for a thought crime is disgusting, Orwellian, and barbaric.

Side: No

I am strongly against the death penalty. The only time where is may be acceptable is in cases of national security, which are rare and few. There is not benefit from killing, except possibly a fulfillment of revenge on the victims part, but revenge and justice are two different things.

Side: No

Neither should be put to death unless they have done it so much that it is completely not cure able. As in it is too late to rehab them back to health, because we, the society never reported their actions fast enough or they never got caught soon enough and they have fallen too low into their evil acts to be saved.

They are not other creatures, they are humans just like the victims, and they are victims also. I saw a little girl on YouTube that was less than 6 years old and all she wanted to do was hurt people, her adopted mom and dad and brother she always just wanted to kill them and she thought that would make things happy for her, she was very troubled in the mind. The possible reason was she had been sexually abused as a baby and she could remember this traumatic experience, but it lead her into just wanting to be evil and distant from others. So, my point is that the ones doing these evil acts are probably victims also of something horrible at a young age and some never are able to get help or learn how to be the righteous kind of person society really would like.

Side: No

Killed? Wow... Now that escalated quickly now didn't it?
