Castração química como medida contra pedófilos condenados por crimes sexuais

Abstract

It´s been a long known that the occurrence of sexual crimes have been causing indignation to society as a whole, and due the increase of these violations, together with the inefficiency of the means used to stop the criminals´ will, there´s the need to search a new method capable to solve this problem. After some projects recorded by some federal congressmen and senators, as well as the observance of adopted measures in developed countries, a movement comes up in order to include chemical castration in the Brazilian juridical ordainment, be it as penalty or condition for regime progression. The present study has the goal of making a prediction regarding the efficacy of this proceeding in convicted fellows for practice of crimes related to pedophilia, that meaning, the subject matter being the pedophile. For that matter, a research was done for the purpose of understanding the pedophile role as well as the functioning of the proceeding for chemical castration and its form of use in the juridical ordainment in other countries. Based in opinions and experiments from psychologists and psychiatrists, the conclusion was that the measure has a satisfactory outcome only during the period of treatment, that is, with a high recurrence level. Therefore, it would be interesting that researches were made towards other proceedings, as for example with psychosocial attendance or policies towards the protection of society, as it´s the case of the accompaniment of the pedophiles by having a database.
