Would legalizing prositution help against sex offenders?

Question

With all of the education out there, most people know how to have safe sex without getting a disease. Wouldn't legaling prostitution give all of these sex offenders a place to blow off their sex drive.

Answer 1

Did legalizing marijuana in certain countries stop drug smoking or trafficing/dealing??

The answer is no. Instead of doing it behind everyones back and hiding it, it became legal so they do it in your face and on the streets in front of our children etc.

Sex offenders like the fact that the sexual act is forbidden, illegal. (adrenalin rush) They like the power trip it gives them to dominate and overbare another human. Hence they are only interested in raping the young, the elderly or the very petite/frail individuals.

Handing them prostitutes on a plate for sex is not the same as raping for the sexual offender enjoys forcing themselves on someone and doing it against their will. A prostitute is paid for sex and would therefore be a willing participant, meaning legalizing prostitution wouldnt make an ounce of difference.

Obviously they also have the option of masturbation and that isnt blowing off a sex offenders sex drive, is it? Raping for the offender is a thrill for them.

Cheers

Answer 2

Nope, becuase:
1. Prostitutes don't do it for free.
2. Would that really help the STD situation we are facing (condoms don't protect everything...)?
3. What about the sex offenders who like children, i doubt any 6 year old prostitutes are walking around in the US (i may be wrong though).
4. Prostitution is legal in some areas (las vegas...)
5. Just because they are sex offenders, don't mean they are SEX ADDICTS.
6. What happen to masturbation? that's a free blow off for everyone.

Answer 3

Offenders need to get more honest about what really happened. Clarification exercises for Sexual Offenders

Clarification help’s the offender understand the damage he created and to accept full responsibility for his offense. Clarification can be done formally but more importantly is part of the ongoing process where the disorder wants to project responsibility outward and discount the consequences to others and the role of treatment is to correct these inaccuracies and help the offender not reoffend.


Goal of Clarification: The offender will be able to sincerely explain

He created a victim by committing the offense. All the offending and build up behaviors are clearly defined as wrong with no minimization or distortion.

No other persons had a role in the creation of the offense, not his wife, not his boss, and not society. The offender has 100% responsibility. The offenders will not defend their offense by focusing on the behaviors of others.

The offense as the victim reported , with no minimization of physical intrusiveness, force, duration, or frequency.

The emotional, physical and psychological trauma done to the victim, victim’s family, victim’s friends, and professionals (i.e.: secondary victimization of police, therapists, prosecutors, and CPS workers who have exposure to the toxic event via the offender, victim or case material)

The systems/communities response to the crime was fully justified, the offender is not a victim of any police DA’s, society, probation, lawyers, act.

The cognitive, behavioral and emotional states which lead to the offense

What occurred before an offense, like “grooming” (manipulation, trickery, bribes) and leverage (threats, coercion, force), abuses of power/authority/trust.

History of deviant thinking, fantasy, behavior.

Why the victim (as opposed to other potential victims) was chosen by the offender

The emotional and psychological wants the offender was attempting to obtain through the offense.

Identification of appropriate alternative behaviors to replace the offense.

Effects on the victim including future harm to sexuality, relationships, values, trust, educational and work achievement.

Any current retaliation fantasies against victim, victims parents, those who reported abuse, ex-wife, CPS, probation officer, Judge, prosecutor- and how these show displacement of responsibility for the consequences of his behavior.

Any substance abuse issues, like need for abstinence, meetings, ect

How the offender lied to, manipulated, and abused other individuals in a non-sexual manner to achieve the offense.

Answer 4

It would seem so. After loooonnnnnggg observation, my hypothesis is that sex offenders aren't after sex. They are somehow screwed up by abuse, trauma, or other horrific events as kids. That isn't the only determinant because some who've gone through that do well. But, most every sex offender has some kind of abuse in their background. The abuse can be overcome but it requires an investment in children's services and an investment in finding the folks who need help before they damage others. There are thousands of children's homes and foster parents in this country trying to do that. Many with very good success rates. Good question. VERY good question.

Answer 5

By Definition Prostitution is a sex offense. It would obviously change the statistics, but have an actual effect on other sex crimes, not in this lifetime. Let's face the facts.There are numerous other ways to blow off your sex drive

Answer 6

Its not about the sex for sex offenders. its about anger and power and legalizing prostitution would have nothing to do with sex offenders.

Answer 7

It doesn't work that way. My country has legalised prostitution but we still have sexual perverts. They tend to take rather than pay. The only thing that would really help sexual offenders is castration but unfortunately that's not legal either. Kiddy fu*kers should be killed. But thats just my personal opinion and is not legal either. You hear me you perverts? I want you dead.

Answer 8

no, and you have to think of the women and some men they are "blowing" their sex drive on...alot of them are violent and even prostitutes do not deserve this treatment. Remember that sometimes adults will not satisfy their needs, do you recommend that we hire children to this this work also, to spare other children? That is just sick...

The Myths and Truths about sexual offenders---The Myth::We can relax a bit now that we have sex offender registration.….The Truth Despite Megan's Law, the overall number of sex offenses occurring have actually increased, the websites can only do so much; we need GPS and lifetime probation to control this population. Currently we are failing to control them The Myth::Some Sex Offenders are not violent.….The Truth Non “Violent” Crimes such as molestation are just as traumatizing, and calling them “non-violent” is not in any way accurate. The Myth::Most sex offenders don’t have a lot of victims …The Truth Although 75% of sexual offenders were convicted of one offense, that just means they were only caught once, almost 100% of them have multiple victims. Many have been found to have hundreds when they were polygraphed on this question. The Myth::Most Sex Offenders were at one time abused as a child themselves, that’s why they do it.…The Truth Most "sex offenders" has never been sexually abused. In fact, offenders say this to appear less culpable for their crimes. When they are polygraph on this question their rates of being molested go way, way down, their rates are in fact close to the rest of us who are not molesting The Myth: :Sex.Offenders get serious punishment, and we don’t have to worry about them for years….The Truth They get revolving door sentences, if they even go to jail, and the vast majority do not, Offenders usually get probation, and even then sex offenders do not get GPS and lifetime probation(as they need to). Offenders quickly get back to a normal life while victims have lifetime consequences.The Myth::Sex Offenders are very controlled on probation or parole and cannot look for more victims. The Truth Offenders without GPS are on part time supervision, they are “good” while in the Probation officers eyesight for the weekly office visit. Offenders have all week to create more victims. Lifetime supervision with GPS would put society in charge. Currently offenders run the show, and this means more victims. The Myth:: Sex Offenders will grow old and out of this behavior.The Truth There is no “aging out” of offending. An offender has these desires and intentions for life. If they change it is to prevent being caught again. The Myth::Sex Offenders are all on the registry ….The Truth Sadly it’s very narrow and limited as to what crimes can be registered. Many offenders are given plea deals for non registerable crimes even though their actual behaviors were sexual offences. Laws must be changed so these “endangering the welfare of a minor” and other charges are registerable The Myth::Offenders friends and family support their recovery …..The Truth In realty the offender’s friends and family have denial regarding the offender’s full responsibility for his offense (they like to blame victims, police, DA ect). Offenders friends and family usually minimize the crime (he only touched her breast), and offenders friends and family often belittle rather than support the goals of supervision and treatment. Overall friends and family help the disorder rather than the offender who has it. Almost all of the time friends and family are working against the good of the community, although they may not know this. The Myth::The community is the main concern during the supervision process ….The Truth Actually, the current situation is budgets and offender rights are more important than community safety. The Myth::Offenders have to register immediately with local law enforcement. …..The Truth Sex offenders are often given up to 10 days to register upon moving in, or being employed within a state. Some states don’t require sex offenders visiting their state to register. Most states do not require sex offenders to register in advance of a move, they can move in and then inform. Getting a violation on a manipulative offender trying to beat the system is far too difficult. The Myth::Megan's Laws are consistent across the United States and protect the public equally. ….The Truth States laws vary, from only a 10-year registration without being put on the website to a more appropriate lifetime registration with community notification. (although registration is not supervision, and supervision without GPS is only 20 minutes a week of supervision) The Myth::Judges do not have discretion and have to give offenders the registration and probation terms that apply. …. The Truth In New York for example offenders can lawyer up and reduce the “level” they get at their hearing. Molesters can assert they are “non violent”, “sober”, ect, and get a level I or II and avoid the III that gets them posted on the website. Pushy lawyers advocating for the offender can get the Judges to change the sex offender conditions of probation as well, removing bans on child contact, allowing offenders to drink alcohol, own a softball team, and have computers, ect. Currently Judges have far too much leeway and offender’s attorneys use this to give the offender more freedoms that he then uses to act his sexual offences, even while on probation. Taking away judges discretion will allow society to determine the rules rather than the offender’s lawyer.

Answer 10

i assume you are talking about just the rapists, otherwise the whole thing doesn't make sense.
rape is not about sex, it's about power. legalizing prostitution would do nothing to eliminate rape. it might help the hookers live a better life though.
