Anyone think it's possible to rehab sex offenders? [View All]

[jdj]

In case y'all didn't hear, the little girl in FL that was abducted three weeks ago, a reg. sex offender just confessed tonight to her murder, though they haven't found the body.

Does anyone have any links...any therapists out there...anyone care to garner an opinion about why their rate of recidivism is so high and why the always seem to re-offend?

Is it really hopeless? I have my own theories about this and link it with the fact that it is almost verboten for men to talk about their victimization, aka rape, as children, although not all men who've been so victimized become perps. I have my money on the ones that are the worst being the ones that have absolutely no connection with their own abuse.

Some people say it's simple chemical insanity, like some have asserted that Ted Bundy had an irregular cluster of veins or something at the base of his brain (no link, just hearsay).

I think we need to come to a consensus on this and find a solution or declare there isn't one and give these guys life without parole automatically. I wonder if that were the automatic sentence, if the rate of these crimes would go up or down, or if more would become murderers to protect themselves.

Feedback?
