The contemporary prevailing attitude towards pedophiles reminds me of the 17th century attitude towards witches. Namely, irrational; Jumping to extreme conclusions based on no evidence, data, or rational model.
Maybe a rational policy would be even harsher towards them, I dont know, though I doubt it. I would certainly bet however that our current attitude and policy in society is not evidence based or well considered.
- V-2 11y agoThere was this really good episode of Brass Eye, "Paedogeddon", lampooning media's portrayal of the threat (the tone they use, the sensationalism, lack of critical thinking etc.). It's hilarious - well if you like British humour - and available on YouTube. Chris Morris got under some heavy criticism for it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Eye#Response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Eye#Response
