Answer 1
How does the treatment programme of the Singapore Prison Service help sex offenders?
Not all sex offenders are put through this programme. Only those that are only likely to re-offend will be only then put through this programe.The programme helps sex offenders learn about the way they think and how their actions flow from this, an awareness of this process is supposed to help them choose not to commit sex offences when the urge arises again.The first stage of the three-stage course, inmates learn to defeat the secrecy, shameand denail surrounding their acts and to "own up" what they did. In the second stage of the programme, the inmates break up their sex crimes into "little bits " so that their "thinking errors" can be identified and addressed. In the final stage, inmates develop a "relapse prevention plan" for themselves.So far, Bala Kuppusamy is the only known offender on whom the programme has failed to work.
Answer 2
Do you think that sex offenders should be given a second chance in the society? State your reasons.
Yes, they should be given a second chance in society. We should`nt judge a person of what he did in the past, he might have already turn over a new leaf and decided not to do things against the law. We should be forgiving and help them get into the society. Everyone makes mistakes, as long as they are willing to change, they should be given a second chance in to the society.
