Yoinked from the Grauniad, something about paedophiles that doesn't suggest burning them

Proper WIDATW soon, for the three people who are interested.

That's really very heartening. Although I can understand some people's aggressive attitude toward sex offenders, I don't believe that such attitudes go anywhere to reducing the risk to other people. This circles idea actually seems to work ... good for them.

I've got myself into very hot water before now by voicing the opinion that sex offenders need help and understanding rather than abuse and censure. The knee-jerk response is almost always facile ['So you fancy kids too, do you?'] or downright threatening.

Me too. In addition I am amazed how much the sympathy people have for *victims* vanishes if those people then go on to offend themselves.

I saw a report on the Canadian version of this a while back so it's good to see it's being given a go here too.

Another reason why Quakers are wonderful.

I'll add another comment to the effect of 'interesting'.

Boo - what a boring post. :-)

Burning is too good for them. Drowning might be fun to watch.
