Chemical castration
Australia considers chemical castration
Yes and no, but mostly no -- to chemical castration, or castration of any kind, for that matter. Let's not be gullible enough to think that it is sex that drives sexual abuse; there are many other ways one can inflict sexual abuse even if they are denied the ability to penetrate. Sexual crimes are, more often than not, issues of control, rather than uncontrolled sexual desire.
But let's not totally dismiss this. It is foreseeable that with specific circumstances, different approaches may prove effective.
