Sex therapy in prisons does not stop rapists reoffending, warns expert
"David Ho, a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, said there was no evidence to show that therapy prevented further offending."
Sexual offending treatment programmes in prisons and hospitals are ineffective
"The majority of offenders released back into society still pose the same level of risk as they did before the treatment programme, and this fails victims and the public, he argues.
"Professional pride or political embarrassment cannot justify persisting with a programme that leaves the public at risk of further sex offending," he adds.
He calls on doctors to take responsibility for the treatment of sexual offenders.
Rehabilitation could involve mandatory detention in mental health hospitals under the Mental Health Act 1983 and only proven treatments should be used to rehabilitate offenders effectively, he argues. Treatments must be supported through robust research to demonstrate efficacy, which the current treatment programme clearly lacks, he adds."
Jan 27, 2015 10:38 PM EST Sex Therapy In Prison Does Not Deter [sic] Some Offenders
"New research on sex offenders in prison shows that since 1991, sexual offenders in prisons and psychiatric hospitals are not benefiting from treatment."
Ineffective treatment of sex offenders fails victims
"Sexual offending therefore consists of a heterogeneous group of acts, which may not include but are likely to include at least some elements of paraphilia.
Considering this heterogeneity, the question of whether sex offending is even a disorder in need of treatment is another debate. And the reality is that society and policy makers look to doctors for answers."

Does watching porn really turn people into violent criminals?
"One of the most controversial studies of all time – one that is often quoted by pro-pornographers – is that carried out by Danish Professor of Criminology BerlKutchinsky. He watched the effects of legalising porn in three countries – Denmark in 1969, Sweden in 1970 and Germany in 1973.
For two decades he charted sex crimes in these territories, and concluded that sex crimes of all natures – including child molestation – fell as men had a “release” for their sexual desires before they acted on them. He concluded that free availability of porn was the “direct cause of this decrease”.
Results from the Czech Republic showed that rape and other sex crimes have not increased following the legalization and wide availability of pornography.
In addition, the study finds that the incidence of child sex abuse has fallen since 1989, when child pornography became readily accessible."

Children for the Devil: Ritual Abuse and Satanic Crime
"26. The serious harm [sic] thus relied on here is the harm to children through the perpetuation of the market [sic] or distribution networks for indecent images. This puts children at risk of being forced to participate in the activities leading to such images [sic], or causes psychological harm to a child who realises either at the time or later that images of him or her are being used as objects of perverted sexual gratification [do we have some verifiable, peer-reviewed, research, on this claim?]. There is no suggestion here however that the Appellant has any contact with children whom he might seek to photograph or to commission others to photograph, for himself, for sharing or for using as a means of gaining access to a network.
27. In all these circumstances, the re-offending which is at risk would make a direct [sic] but small contribution to the market or distribution of such indecent images [and if one makes none, as most do?]; that in turn would make an indirect but small contribution to the risk that indecent images of children would be taken [no risk then]. A child groomed or made to participate in sexual acts for those purposes may suffer serious harm of one sort or another, depending on the activity [fine, they are offences, perhaps worth having [and exist], in the puritanical regime we have, presently]. A child who becomes aware that he or she has been photographed for the sexual gratification of an adult, who may not even be known to them, may suffer serious psychological harm [see above].
28. In our judgment it cannot reasonably be said, in the context of these particular statutory provisions, that there is a significant risk of this Appellant's re-offending occasioning harm to a child or children whether through perpetuating the market, or through further indecent images being taken, or through a child becoming aware of the indecent purposes to which photographs might be put.The link between the offending act of downloading these indecent images and the possible harm which might be done to children is too remote to satisfy the requirement that it be this Appellant's re-offending which causes the serious harm. At worst there would be an indirect and small contribution to a harm which might or might not occur, depending on whether further photographs were taken in part as a result of the Appellant's contribution to the market [and if none?], or depending on whether a child found out about the uses to which they were put as a result [proximity to/culpability of, the non-contributory, unknown, offender?]. The imprisonment for public protection provisions of the CJA do not apply in the circumstances here, where simply as a matter of generalisation, a small, uncertain and indirect contribution to harm may be made by a repeat of this offender's offending. No significant risk of serious harm of the requisite gravity, occasioned by a repetition of the offending in this case by this offender can reasonably be said to exist."
"34. The potential utility of a SOPO in a case such as this
does not mean that the tests of section 104 are necessarily satisfied. A
sentencing judge however, could have been satisfied in these
circumstances that a SOPO was necessary, but would not have been driven
to such a conclusion.
Perpetuating the market [sic; the trouble is, that is not what we have, in the main] or distribution network
for indecent images encourages [sic] others to commission, take or create
indecent images [fine, they are offences, perhaps worth having [and exist], in the puritanical regime we have, presently] of a level which may [?] be capable of causing "serious"
harm to children [see above], and the child or children who might be photographed
could well become aware of the use to which those photographs would be
put [and?].
The indirect and uncertain harm arising from the contribution to
the harm which any downloading of indecent images may have does not
necessarily fall outside the scope of the SOA provisions, as discussed
in Beaney and Collard." [legal logic, stretched to its farcical and failing limits]
"“sexual harm” from a person means physical or psychological harm caused—
(a) by the person committing one or more offences listed in Schedule 3, or
(b) (in the context of harm outside the United
Kingdom) by the person doing, outside the United Kingdom, anything which
would constitute an offence listed in Schedule 3 if done in any part of
the United Kingdom;"

Chair of historic child abuse inquiry urged to quit over revelations she is 'close friend' of top Tory accused of failing to act on paedophile [sic] allegations
">Fiona Woolf lives on the same street as the ex Cabinet Minister Leon Brittan,
>She invited former Home Secretary and his wife for dinner three times,
>Brittan rejects claims he failed to act on dossier of abuse allegations in 1980s,
>Theresa May appointed Mrs Woolf last month after her original choice quit,
>Lady Butler-Sloss stepped down because her brother was attorney general,
>Labour's Simon Danczuk said he had 'serious concerns' about Fiona Woolf."
"Former Law Society president Fiona Woolf today came under renewed pressure to stand down as chair of the inquiry into historical child sex abuse, as a solicitor-advocate began a legal challenge to her appointment.
Family lawyer David Burrows launched a judicial review application on behalf of an abuse victim, questioning’s Woolf’s independence and expertise in family law."

"No Greater Evil was filmed in the U.K. in 1992 and showcased the 'evidence' which Geoffrey Dickens and Dianne Core had compiled in a four year campaign to prove that Satanic Ritual Child Abuse existed. These extracts are of interviews with Dickens (who was the parliamentary agent of Childwatch) , Dianne Core (the head of Childwatch), Jim Phillips, the doctor who created a tranche of SRA victim imposters in his private clinic (shown in these clips) but who then had a nervous breakdown and tried to kill himself and was subsequently struck of the medical register."

"IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY FILM CLIP-the clips are from the Swedish made film "no greater evil",made in 1992,and sadly is not the best quality,but is essential listening.Child abuse campaigner Geoffrey Dickens MP,who handed his dossiers on child abuse within the establishment to Leon Brittan,and others,(dossiers which all subsequently went conveniently missing-or did they?)died in 1995. Footnote-does any one have the rest of this documentary?"

Geoffrey Dickens: Child Abuse Claims and Satanic Panic
"AUGUST 24 1988: Hull Daily Mail reports that Dickens’ claims his life is being threatened by vengeful satanists but that he pledges to carry on the fight against black magic rituals and is building up yet another file to present to the Home Secretary. “Evidence is growing of witchcraft & crimes against children” Dickens says but has in 13 months NEVER presented any evidence."
"SRA is considered a moral panic and compared to the blood libel and witch-hunts of historical Europe, and McCarthyism in the United States during the 20th century.
Stanley Cohen, who originated the term "moral panic," called the episode "one of the purest cases of moral panic."
The initial investigations of SRA were performed by anthropologists and sociologists, who failed to find evidence of SRA actually occurring; instead they concluded that SRA was a result of rumors and folk legends that were spread by "media hype, Christian fundamentalism, mental health and law enforcement professionals and child abuse advocates."
Sociologists and journalists noted the vigorous nature with which some evangelical activists and groups were using claims of SRA to further their religious and political goals.
Other commentators suggested that the entire phenomenon may be evidence of a moral panic over Satanism and child abuse.
Skeptical explanations for allegations of SRA have included an attempt by "radical feminists" to undermine the nuclear family, a backlash against working women, homophobic attacks on gay childcare workers, a universal need to believe in evil, fear of alternative spiritualities, "end of the millennium" anxieties, or a transient form of temporal lobe epilepsy."
National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)
"During the late 1980s and early 1990s, a moral panic emerged over alleged ritual satanic abuse. The NSPCC provided a publication known as 'Satanic Indicators' to social services around the country that has been blamed for some social workers panicking and making false accusations. The most prominent of these cases was in Rochdale in 1990 when up to 20 children were taken from their homes and parents after social services believed them to be involved in satanic or occult ritual abuse.
The allegations were later found out to be false. The case was the subject of a BBC documentary which featured recordings of the interviews made by NSPCC social workers, revealing that flawed techniques and leading questions were used to gain evidence of abuse from the children. The documentary claimed that the social services were wrongly convinced, by organisations such as the NSPCC, that abuse was occurring and so rife that they made allegations before any evidence was considered."

John Mann Calls For 'Suspicious Deaths' Of Westminster Child Abuse Whistleblowers To Be Re-Investigated
"A campaigning MP has called for the reinvestigation of the suspicious deaths more than 20 years ago of two whistleblowers who he believes had significant information relating to organised child abuse by a group with alleged links to Westminster.
Labour's John Mann made the comments after he handed Scotland Yard a dossier that includes allegations about the involvement of 22 politicians - some of them apparently still serving - in paedophile [sic] rings.
He told Sky News: "What I want to see is both those suspicious deaths reinvestigated because what links them together was both were people who in essence were blowing the whistle on child abuse."
"John Mann is typically what we would describe as a ‘grief vulture’. Whenever a tragic incident occurs then John Mann can be found attempting to involve himself and direct media attention towards something he’s doing in concern to the incident.
After the 1400 children were paedophilically groomed in Rotherham due to the Labour Party’s negligence and political correctness, John Mann instantly jumped on this paedophilic [sic] tragedy and attempted to exploit press attention in his direction as he publicly called for an inquiry – just as he did with the expenses scandal.
More recently in the case of Garron Helm V Luciana Berger, the Jewish Labour Party Mp we saw John Mann attempting to once again exploit press attention and declare himself as a victim of online trolling after he publicly attacked free speech and jumped to the aide of traitor Luciana Berger."
"Therefore it is now clear that Dickens 'Westminster' Dossier is, like
his dossier on Satanic Ritual Abuse, a wicked compilation of bigotry
from his Christian evangelical friends who are willing to misuse the
police and the democratic process to further their prejudice against
minority religions and different sexual genders.
It was seized
upon in 2014 by the Child Scare Industry in an attempt to stampede
parliament into enacting further laws to expand it's own remit and gain
more funds for chasing phantom abusers using worked-up cases of
Historical Sex Abuse.
They thought you, the British public, would
be dim enough not to notice what they were up to, but the SAFF has once
again saved the day and brought you the unvarnished TRUTH."

"We owe it to everyone involved – victims [complainants] and perpetrators [defendants] alike – to calmly and forensically examine allegations to establish their accuracy and to weed out the few that do not withstand scrutiny.
Otherwise, if every allegation is treated as de facto, what is the point of an inquiry? And what, frankly, is the point of a trial?"
