I think there are more health problems related to physical castration than with chemical castration. It would cause more problems that I think would cost more in the long run. Either method seems to be equally effective. But I'm seeing different numbers regarding recidivism...but rates as low as 2%.
I wonder if there's a female method.
Anyway, this still seems to treat the symptoms and not the problem. I guess whatever stops them from re-offending is a start. This seems to be relatively humane (the chemical method, that is).
