Further, castration would avert the physiological predisposing factors to sex offenses. According to scientific evidence from Girard, one of the leading factors towards sex offenses includes high levels of testosterone, a hormone that creates aggressive behavior in males (Hickey, 2011). This chemical explains why male animals become difficult to handle, and men become aggressive towards other men and women. Sexual offenses can also be categorized as an aggressive acts driven by high levels of testosterone. It is a rational approach to eliminate the root cause of this aggression. Castrating the sex offenders would mean that the possibility of aggressive whims is reduced, create more docile human beings, and other treatment options like counseling would become easy to administer.
