To be furious that the Machester synagogue attacker was let out on bail for a rape charge?

I'm also suspicious the makers of LHRH medications are looking for a other market to flog their drugs to. But that might be me getting to tinfoilhatty.

I guess if you cant force people to be castrated, you have to offer an incentive. Eg earlier release in exchange for chemical castration. But then that means they have the opportunity to reoffend which goes back to the point about not wanting my own children around them...

My position is I don't really care if someone who abused children is chemically castrated. Im not about to feel sorry for them. But i still wouldn't want them any where near my children. I don't think it makes them "safe".

So one stat I found is that 31% of Islamic terrorists in the US had any criminal record. Of those, 64% were for a violent crime.

See this is what I thought re terrorists. Most do not have much of a prior criminal history. Especially for violent crime. That is terrorists overall.

This is from a self reported survey. You said:

"Almost always there’s a DV charge in there somewhere."

Which suggests most terrorists have been arrested for DV which is a different thing to what this study looked at.

I believe some studies have shown that abusers given chemical casteration turn to other methods of abuse. No idea how valid they are but it makes sense when you think of sexual abuse as a violent crime not actually about sex iykwim.

I wrote my post before I read yours. You say it much more succinctly.

The percentage of rape cases that actually lead to a conviction is tiny as it is

There is so much that could be done to better support women. The problem is, there is already a very unpleasant backlash to increased awareness of sexual violence. You only need to spend a short while on social media to find out that apparently just one word from a woman can ruim a man's life forever, that men are afraid of even interacting with women lest they be falsely accused. All nonsense. Especially when you look at the actual statistics or case studies where men are accused (hint. Their lives are not usually ruined). However, if you kept men in prison between their arrest and their trial you could be looking at imprisoning men for up to 2 years. With the majority of those men not being found guilty (because early on CPS decides not to press charges all the way up to them being found innocent at trial). I think that would spark an even bigger backlash from the MRA types. Also, there are cases where I think men were genuinely not guilty (as opposed to not being found guilty). Keeping them in prison would have been a breach of their rights.

I would rather there was more awareness that actually, men who commit DV or rape are overall bad men. They aren't otherwise decent sorts who have a flaw. There's a huge overlap between terrorism and abuse of women that there should be more awareness of rather than compartmentalizing as some are wont to do.

<sigh> I’ll Google that for you, even though it’s pretty well documented and observable.

Ah makes sense.

I have no idea. It’s an idea of what can be done, that I formulated in about 2 mins whilst finishing my glass of wine.

Do you have statistics on that?

Is this the same prison system desperately recruiting for staff in its existing institutions? Or another one?

It is very rare that terrorists don’t start with violence against women. Almost always there’s a DV charge in there somewhere.

Because angry hateful men are angry and hateful.

If we took all VAWG seriously, we’d catch and lock up most terrorists. But VAWG isn’t seen as serious.

As long as the island is accessible from the mainland in a shortish time it shouldn’t be a problem to get staff. There are commuters and children that take boat rides every day to school/ work in the UK and around the world. It can be done, if the will is there.

Who would work on those barely inhabited islands?

There’s more than enough space to build more prisons. Could even build some on those barely inhabited islands. Or tower block style prisons.

Because we need houses?
