Yes they should be named and shamed.Ten minutes before being hung.

I think we are looking at it from the wrong angle. perhaps we should ask should certain types of sex offenders, eg paedophiles be given a sentence of a predetermined length, in other words is it right to tie the hands of rehabilation services to a given length of time to correct certain types of behaviour within individuals.

If a paedophile was sentenced to be imprisoned or held in a secure treatment unit until it was established they wouldnt/couldnt or were incapable of committing the offences again would we need to name and shame?

As has been previously mentioned naming and shaming is only effective when the exact location of the offender is known, people can and do move, if a paedophile felt the urge to reoffend he goes into hiding and moves, disguising himself and taking an assumed name, he is then free to reoffend.

If we keep them in secure units they cant reoffend if before we release them we chemically castrate them, they wont feel the need to reoffend. Simples.

In an ideal world I agree but there are nut cases out there who could harm or kill an innocent victim......In view of the probable dangers I think the present policy is unavoidable.....But like you I wish it could change.......
