Not In My Neighbourhood

How does the criminal justice system deal with pedophiles? While most crimes of child sex abuse never make it near the criminal justice system, how does the system work for the offenders that do get reported? Most child sex offence cases get heard in the local court where the maximum sentence is two years. Are sentences too low? When child sex offenders do get to prison, what treatments are there available to help stop them re-offending? And what is the likelihood of the re-offending when released? And should communities be given the right to know if a pedophile is living in their neighbourhood? Insight will also look at the Serious Sex Offender legislation that allows some states to detain offenders after their sentence is served. Should some sex offenders never be released or be forced to undergo chemical castration and constant electronic tagging? Join us with judges, public defenders, criminologists, victims and an offender.
