Social Conditions of Chemical Castration

Abstract

This article considers three application modes of chemical castration in various countries, which are completely voluntary mode, compulsory mode and the combination mode of voluntary and compulsory. In terms of overseas investigation, the applicable conditions mainly include two aspects: the need to compensate the deficiency brought by the abolition of death penalty, and the social conditions of commutation and parole to guarantee human rights. While some conditions are satisfied to a certain extent in China, the existence of death penalty and the defects in parole and commutation make it unfeasible to introduce chemical castration to China.
