아동 성폭력 범죄자의 화학적 거세에 관한 고찰

Abstract

In Korea, chemical castration will be enforced against sexual assault(pedophile) to person below 16 years old from July 20th in 2011. The law on medicine treatment against sex arousal of sex violent offender,Korea 2010 is included into many problems in process of enforcing this law. The most big problem of this law is the identification of a sexual pervert against sexual violent offenders legally and medically. Also exact judgement on the probability or risk of recidivism is very important to first offender in the chemical castration. These problems are attributed to be object for chemical castration without person’s agreement. Therefore chemical castration is to be imposed by agreement in case of the first offender, and recidivist is to be treated coercively. In addition, the development of objective index to evaluate recidivism risk is very important to treat pedophile exactly. When sexual violent offenderl is judged to be put on electronic anklet, KSOLAS(Korean Sex Offender Risk Assessment Scale) is of application. Medicine treatment on sex arousal injects specific medicine on body of pedophile coercively differently from electronic anklet. So index to evaluate the recidivism risk is more objective and scientific than the index on electronic anklet. Also in case of The law on medicine treatment against sex arousal,Korea 2010 , a problem of double punishment and retroactive law against pedophile is raised. Especially this law is prescribing too heavy punishment to pedophile to violate any duty and observance indications of this law. This law is to treat pedophile, not to punish. So these problems are to be reviewed legally. Medicine such as Depo Provera and Lupron for chemical castration has been reported to cause any dysfunction physically. Those dysfunctions are quite various including weight growth, tension, nerveless, cold sweat,nightmare, specks, muscular aches, or headache, mental depression,diabetes, high blood pressure, men’s breath changed into lady’s breath. To resolve these dysfunctions, chemical castration was practiced in combination with medical treatment and cognitive program in the case of foreign in the case of foreign. Nevertheless, chemical castration was reported to cause serious dysfunction physiologically and psychologically. Therefore chemical castration is not safety so much that it causes a failure of medicine treatment. Also the production of testosterone is known to be related with the pituitary gland of brain system. Accordingly the use of medicine influencing to the pituitary gland such as Depo Provbera and Lupron may cause the dysfunction of brain function. Consequently chemical castration is to be approached in respect to biological evaluation with legal and medical evaluation.
