That never works. Raising the risks of being caught does work, but it costs money.
> people with this mental disease
Not all such people are ill; there are different reasons people get involved in child-porn. Some of them are just shitty people; some are traumatised; some are simply ignorant.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoSo throw the baby out with the bathwater? Point 1 does work as shown by cities giving up and letting petty criminals run wild (see san francisco). Point 2: so no help for anyone? I'm not sure what you're even saying here because it's just naysaying and not really offering any potential solutions.
- denton-scratch 5y agoI wasn't advocating no penalties; I was saying that increasing the penalties doesn't work (unless you are a politician trying to get re-elected). And I wasn't saying 'no clinics'; I was griping about the term "mental illness". Not all bad behaviour is the result of a psychiatric disorder.
