Pedophilia

[notimportant1234]

It’s not necessarily about punishment. It’s about keeping innocent people safe.

Yes, I agree that we need to keep innocent people safe. But the reason that I posted this under philosophy is to tackle how we could improve prevention, not necessarily present and practical measures.

Yes, I know that we can't identify possible offenders, and even if we could it will take years before someone could implement such a system( given the usual opposing stance of politicians to change). What I'm thinking that we would not apply so much stigma and blame ( I think we can both agree that such things you don't chose) we could reduce the number of victims. After all, we are just the bitches of nature, in my opinion we can minimize that if we change the way we tackle this sort of problems.

You can say that I have an abnormal desire to help the purpatretors, but I think that just applying punishment is not helping that much.

Are you saying we should be nicer to people who take advantage of kids and teens in a sexual manner?

I am not getting a good feeling about where this is really going.  

An abnormal desire to help pedophiles and those who engage in sexual activity, or the grooming toward it, sounds like you may be quite invested in how society reacts.

Edit: I started this because I didn't agree of how people want to solve this problem. It is not about empathy, I score average on that on personality tests. But how does raising the penalty help the victim?  It helps us, because we feel better for ourselves, we punished the offender, isn't that nice? But the victim is still raped and maybe dead. Don't tell me that a rapist and killer will just change his mind because of a higher penalty, this is not a rational decision after all.
