Chipping pedophiles as an alternative to chemical castration

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of chipping persons who have committed sexual crimes against minors as an alternative to chemical castration. The relevance of the chosen research topic is confirmed by disappointing statistics. At the same time, currently, chipping of certain categories of citizens is not legalized. But there is already an example of a legislative regulation of the use of electronic tracking tools against suspects and convicted persons. Biochips may well be attributed to such means. At the same time, the author suggests the expediency of fixing chipping in criminal legislation as another compulsory medical measure.In the course of the study, an attempt was made to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the technology in question in comparison with chemical castration. From the point of view of medicine, chipping compared to chemical castration is safer for health, as well as cheaper. The only thing in which chipping is still inferior to chemical castration is in the matter of legislative regulation and data security, the solution of which is a matter of time. The author concludes that the use of chip technology in relation to pedophiles is a more effective and cheaper alternative to their chemical castration.The SWOT analysis made it possible to determine the strengths and weaknesses of pedophile chipping, as well as the capabilities of this technology and potential threats to its use. As a result, the predominance of the strengths of the application of the technology in question over the weaknesses was revealed.
