Is Chemical Castration the Answer to Sex Offenders? (2025)

Will the modern day ‘cut their balls off’ plan to castrate paedophiles and rapists work? Our This Much is True Crime podcast (link in bio) has just published a special fast turnaround episode on government plans to chemically castrate the worst type of sex offenders. It might get votes but is it the solution to such sick crime? You’ll want to hear what Professor David Wilson has to say about paedos and he should know, he’s spent years of his career trying to understand them. This replaces our Madeline McCann episode which will run next week. And please allow us to spend a few seconds marvelling at reaching the top 1% of true crime pods in just a few weeks. Thank you for your support, it means so much.
