Jamaica Gleaner Outlook
published: Sunday | May 29, 2005

Scientific cure a better solution
THE PENALTY for the sexual abuse of children should not be increased simply because the belief ­ with little verification ­ that a harsh penalty will dissuade child sex offenders from their crimes is commonly held.

Put them away for life
I BELIEVE THAT the penalty for sexual abuse of anyone, (adult, geriatric or child) should be life in prison, without possibility of parole.( I really think that they should be hanged, but hanging is out for the moment!)


Lock the door and throw away the key
I BELIEVE that the penalty should be increased for pedophiles. When you take into consideration the long-term effects that these young children have to endure when they fall prey to these sex offenders, is there any harsher punishment?
