The Spin
Narrative A
Not only does castration provide a method of punishment, but both chemical and surgical methods also reduce the prevalence of crimes. Such solutions are even requested occasionally by the perpetrators. Evil crimes should not only be punished but also prevented.
Narrative B
While castration for sexual criminals is considered, and even used, by governments across the globe, its use is rare and typically only in the most dire circumstances. Even though this issue involves heinous crimes, medical and legal ethics should still be weighed heavily. Governments should primarily focus on reforming prisons to help offenders reenter society.
