I think a Child license would be EXCELLENT and if that would, realistically, work, then jolly-jollyness all around!

Longer prison sentences wouldn't work, we're already having that problem in the UK at the moment. Because of prison overcrowding, vile people are being released earlier, meaning they continue to commit crimes. There was even one who pretended to be rehabilitated and then went out, kidnapped a 3 year old girl, and subjected her to abhorrent levels of abuse.

Now, in some cases, the threat of castration wouldn't work - no. I believe that in some instances it's some kind of chemical imbalance in the Brain that causes a person to be how they are. However, the one's that aren't like that are at least more likely to think TWICE before committing a crime. And okay, if they commit it, they get castrated. Punishment? Yes. Stops them from breeding? Yes. Of course, they wouldn't just be let out of prison, they'd be kept in prison and serve their sentence.

This is a solution that would have to be imposed for a few decades, however, for a substantial effect to be seen. For the undesirables to slowly die out.

£Even today people get charged with crime even though they didn't do it."

Of course, however, what are the chances of that happening 3 times in 5 years? Low.

And OANST, concerning your Heroine Addiction, no, you wouldn't be castrated. You'd be given help.

Ideally, the first two times you'd go into a voluntary Rehab, where you could say "Yeh, i'm getting off it" and we'd trust you and be all "Oh, okay", whilst monitoring your progress. F*ck that up, however, and i'd ideally like a system in place that makes Addicts go Cold Turkey.

I still haven't heard any decent alternatives that would work just as well.

Oh, Rich, feel free to impreganate me sometime in the future.
