Rapists. Can they be stopped?

Description

This powerful video focuses on participants in a program at Oregon State Hospital aimed at rehabilitating sex offenders. This is done by a variety of means. One method is aversion therapy, employed to turn off the men's appetite for brutality. They are shown pornography, and when aroused they are given negative reinforcement. Another method is to confront them with former victims, forcing them to come to grips with the pain they have inflicted. Some are given drugs to decrease sexual desire.Very few graduates of the program have become repeat offenders.
