Dave, there was a very interesting programme on UK TV around 18 months ago, about a group of paedophiles in the UK. The thing that I found most disturbing was their (seemingly genuine) belief that they were doing nothing wrong - and that they were being hounded quite unreasonably by the police and press. They all constantly insisted that they themselves were the victims, not the children they abused.

I doubt that such people could ever be 'educated to keep their urges in check' because they see no reason to do so. Incarceration is the only sure way to prevent them re-offending. (IMHO of course!). :-)
