Good morning. I know sex offender treatment might not sound like an obvious August topic, but trust me, this is worth your attention. It’s a contradiction we seem unable to resolve: as a society, we abhor the crimes these offenders commit against mainly women and children, but put little thought into their management beyond (mostly temporarily) locking them away.(这是一个我们似乎无法解决的矛盾:作为社会,我们憎恶这些罪行,却很少思考如何管理他们。)
早上好。我知道性犯罪者治疗听起来不像是八月该聊的话题,但请相信我,这值得你关注。这是一个我们似乎无法解决的矛盾:作为一个社会,我们憎恶这些犯罪者主要针对妇女和儿童所犯下的罪行,但除了(大多是暂时地)将他们关起来之外,却很少思考如何管理他们。
This may be about to(即将,正要) change. Over the weekend, our home affairs editor, Rajeev Syal, revealed that thousands of male prisoners in England and Wales could soon be offered sex drive-suppressing drugs in a radical scheme aiming to reduce reoffending – and ease the prison overcrowding crisis.(上周末,内政编辑透露,数千名男性囚犯可能很快会获得抑制性欲药物。)
这种情况可能即将改变。上周末,我们的内政编辑拉吉夫·西亚尔透露,英格兰和威尔士的数千名男性囚犯可能很快会在一项旨在减少再犯、缓解监狱过度拥挤危机的激进计划中获得抑制性欲的药物。
But what are the practical and ethical considerations at play(在起作用,在影响) in medicating(用药治疗,给……服药) this growing sector of the prison population? I spoke to Rajeev to find out. But first, a roundup(综述,摘要) of this weekend’s other biggest stories.
但是,在对这一日益增长的监狱人群进行药物治疗时,有哪些实际和伦理方面的考量?我与拉吉夫进行了交谈以了解情况。但首先,先来看看本周末其他重大新闻的综述。
