Juridical Analysis of the Application of Chemical Castration Penalties to Sexual Crimes Against Children
Abstract
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of chemical castration to perpetrators of sexual crimes against children. The practice of chemical castration falls outside the main criminal scope and does not fall under its jurisdiction. Therefore, chemical castration becomes an additional punishment for perpetrators of sexual offenses against children. If examined further, the application of chemical castration is an additional crime that is revocation of certain rights to the defendant. The purpose of revocation of certain rights is not to eliminate the honor of the perpetrator, but to prevent the perpetrator from committing the same crime in the future. The rights that are reduced from chemical castration are reproductive rights and rights related to the sexual activity of the perpetrator. In connection to chemical castration, which is designated as an additional criminal offense, the use of chemical castration cannot stand independently. Chemical castration can be carried out after the perpetrators of sexual crimes against children have served the main criminal sentence. This is done in order to maintain the security and safety of the future generations of the nation, so the issue of the human rights of perpetrators of sexual crimes against children can be put aside.
