You have offenders saying if you let me out I will do it again you don't think they are experts on their own feelings or behaviour), just like pscyhopaths some can't be fixed. As the word suggests pedophile means loving kids. While some are just nasty ass people, many see it as their sexual orientation (still nasty to harm kids obviously).

I think larger strides will be made by protecting kids from sexual abuse at an early age than therapy after the fact trying to fix brain wiring
