GAMBLE'S GAMBLE...

Those who prey on children should be locked up, as a minimum. Paedophilia is a gross crime and any of us who have kids must recoil at the very thought of it! However, the UK Police's Child Protection Chief thinks otherwise. He reckons that child sex offenders should be encouraged to seek treatment rather than be threatened with jail. Jim Gamble, of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), said it was a practical way of dealing with the scale of the problem. He believes that treating some paedophiles in the community is a sensible way of reducing harm.

This is just more bleeding heart liberal claptrap. Those wretches who would prey on our kids MUST be locked up, so they cannot access children for their wicked ways. Gamble seems to suggest that those who are caught looking at images of kids on the internet for their sexual gratification would do better with a community service rather than a penal sentence. Wrong. The intent is there, and if they are treated with the traditional kid gloves, one day they will come for our kids in 3D, not just on a computer screen. Sorry, but locking them up - in a harsh prison environment is the right thing to do. Gamble should resign, his views are out of synch with what people want, I believe.

I respectively disagree with you David....scum who abuse small children are only fit for an appointment with the gallows. Execution by hanging is the best cure for paedophiles and it would send out a strong message to the world that in one country at least such dispicable behaviour would be answered by the one truly appropiate response to the actions of these filthy perverts.

I also respectfully disagree. Incarceration should not be an automatic sentence for any offence. Its shortcomings are made clear again and again, and the emphasis here should be on victim support and offender rehabilitation, with as much incapacitation as is necessary. Their crimes may be heinous and disgusting, but we live in a civilised society and our main aim should be to ensure they don't commit the offence again, and prison is widely accepted in academic circles to be unfit for that job. Gamble's got no other reason to want paedophiles in the community other than that rehabilitation works a hell of a lot better on a convicted criminal if they're not alienated from society.

They should recieve treatment whilst in Prison,

PS, Perhaps our Govt is soft on Paedophilia because....well..how can I put this....

Or Maybe its Only A crime If its committed by Indigenous Brits, Like Chris Langham, researching a comic Paedophile character,

Those committed by other ethnicities, including childd rape or by Politicians are swept under the carpet we never hear of them.
