A Lesson Apparently Not Learned

Church of England Child Protection Adviser Suggests Counselling Rather than Jail for Pedophiles

[Janet Hind, National child protection adviser to the Church's Archbishop's Council] argued that "One shouldn't necessarily think that because somebody hasn't gone to prison that isn't the safe option, because obviously offenders come out of prison and, if they haven't had proper treatment, they're not going to be as safe as if they have had a good treatment programme under continuing supervision, with an eye kept on exactly what they're doing and what their thoughts are," according to a report in The Observer.
Safe due to the counseling and rehabilitation? When and where have we heard this before?
