Apparently this scheme has been trialled in 4 prisons in the south, and will now be carried out in 20 prisons in the north of England.
(Seems like we always draw the short straw)
The drugs have to be taken for life, and they will only work when sexual predators have not been driven by power or violence.
"Chemical suppressants for sexual offenders will be trialled in north-west and north-east England as part of efforts to cut reoffending, the justice secretary has said.
The government had pledged to widen the existing pilot in four prisons in the south-west to 20 prisons following recommendations from the independent sentencing review to explore its use in May.
The medication limits "problematic sexual arousal" and restrains offenders who could be a risk to the public, David Lammy said.
The expansion means about 6,400 sex offenders will be able to access medication alongside psychological treatment to help change their behaviour and crack down on crimes such as rape, grooming and assault."
It makes me think, in the North of England, we will have lots of groomers back on the street after being given a pathetically short sentence to begin with.

I think it could work with some peadophiles who cannot control their urges due to brain chemistry issues to reduce re-offending.
I don't think it would work on people who groom as they are making conscious decisions which they can control but choose not to due to holding a warped ideology.

Exactly. How will this crackpot scheme be enforced/monitored?
Absolute insanity!

Presumably they would have to be monitored and tested. It's more of a suppressant than a castration...because it only works whilst the pill or injection is being administered.
I believe men who are in prison for grooming could be candidates. Many groomers use coercion not violence, or even power....we will have to wait and see. I can also see paedophiles lining up for early release.
The prisons are badly overcrowded, and many people are there who should not be, but allowing sex offenders out on the condition they take medication....it sounds very risky to me.

Statistics (if true) show it has lessened repeat acts of sexual offences, both here and abroad.
There has been talk of making it mandatory, as it is in some countries, but given the side effects, and our human rights laws, I doubt it ever would be here.

I saw an interview once of a man who knew he was a paedophile, he was begging for help afraid he would act on his urges.
I think maybe drugs, plus psychiatric care, could help people like him.

It makes a huge difference if they want to be stopped. But realistically, how many of them would?

Why not physical castration? Cut their balls off.
This policy would immediately result in a flood of sexual criminals being released into the public.
Then they would fill up the vacated spaces by "far right thugs" = ordinary English / British people protesting the loss of the society they were born into or protesting crimes from the newly arrived illegal(?) immigrants or protesting against government policies.

The most powerful sexual organ is the brain, why not lobotomise them at the same time.
