In a bad campaign

Children are frighteningly becoming victims of someone else's carelessness and criminal attacks. Perhaps this was the case before, but we have heard little about it. The degree of public indignation is high. The Bulgaria tragedy and the deaths of 120 passengers, including more than 30 children, have not yet passed, and news agencies bring new information about sexual violence against minors. One case in Krasnoyarsk, the other in Blagoveshchensk.

I will not go into details, they are well known. Two topics prevail in the discussions: an attempt to might in Blagoveshchensk and bewilderment - the crime was again committed by a criminal who recently freed from the conclusion of a conventionally.

Self-time is treated differently. Recently, sociological research on this topic has not been found, but it seems that most of the Russians are rather welcomed than condemn. Some will consider this evidence of the denseness of our people and their inability to legal life. And in vain! The authorities, including law enforcement agencies, rightfully earned popular distrust. The fact that the police and the court are unable to protect the interests of a common person, no one needs to convince anyone for a long time. Everyone knows this. Therefore, a society, longing for justice, is trying to self -organize and administer justice on its own. In appearance, this is terrible, but in quality, spontaneous folk justice will hardly be strongly inferior to the justice of the official. In one case, the level of justice at zero due to rage and illiteracy, in the other-due to corruption and engagement.

The perplexity of the commentators about the fact that the sexual crimes against minors are now and then, released conventionally, looks quite sincere. Meanwhile, there is not only nothing surprising, but nothing accidental. There can simply be otherwise!

What is usually released on parole? Either for good money, or for the correct service of the camp administration. Sexy rapists of children who came across bars are people, as a rule, are not rich, and the first way is not for them. The second way is for them. In the prison system, these people are outcast. If they were lucky and they were not killed in the general cells of the investigative insulator and at shipping, then upon arrival in the camp they get into the “Hozov Service” detachment. All the outcasts are collected there - informers, debtors, "lowered" working in household service and in camp positions (cooks, librarians, commandants, captures, etc.), voluntary assistants to the camp administration. These prisoners are absolutely dependent on the authorities. This is the party’s party deposit. In order to force other prisoners to cooperate with the camp administration, it is necessary to catch on something, to blackmail, to look for weaknesses, to intimidate, to provoke. These are not necessary. These are always in the forefront. And sexual maniacs are the first among the first. In fact, they have no other way. So the camp life is arranged, regardless of who evaluates it and how.

That is why convicted pedophiles are the first candidates for parole. The camp authorities are happy to encourage the premature liberation of their best informers and assistants.

The Russian legislator and the entire political "elite" are well aware that it is possible to truly turn the situation only by changing the system - the penitentiary, judicial, and in fact the entire political system in the country. However, they do not want to change the system in which they are so comfortable to live. Not for that they built. Therefore, they offer more and more new measures to protect against crime.

For example, the cancellation of parole for persons who committed sexual crimes against minors, or an increase in the sentence for such crimes before a lifetime. These innovations are contained in the bill introduced by President Medvedev to the State Duma on July 12.

Another measure, according to Medvedev, may be the chemical castration of criminals convicted of crimes against the sexual integrity of minors. It is assumed that from some point of execution of the sentence or immediately after the sentencing, convicts will be faced with: imprisonment or chemical castration by regular injections of the drug that suppresses sexual activity. Approximately such criminal-executive practice exists in many Western European states and some US states.

Not to say that in the West this system acts impeccably. It is enough to recall that the first victim of chemical castration was in 1952 Alan Turing, an English scientist who made a huge contribution to the development of computer technology and laid the foundation for the teachings of artificial intelligence. He was judged for what now in the West is almost carried in his hands - for homosexuality. For such a “crime”, a person was medication is devoid of sexual life. This is in respectable England!

What will be with us? But what. The ability to choose injections instead of a prison in practice will be furnished with a number of conditions in which investigators, judicial psychiatrists and judges will perform interested persons. The tariffs are set quickly. The injection will be entrusted to the average medical staff receiving a beggarly salary from the state (in the provinces of the Polyclinic nurse receives from 3 to 5 thousand rubles a month). Well, if doctors take a certain bribe from patients for the due injections, then they will take money for refusal from them and even more so. If the injections are still performed, then make a second injection that boughts the effect of the first, will not represent labor. Perhaps even, in the same medical institution, but, of course, for a fee.

But these are all flowers of household corruption. The berries of real abuses will begin when the system is formed and all its important screws will understand what considerable money people agree to pay not to sit for life or not to lose their favorite libido. An unnecessary field of corruption opens.

Once in Soviet times it was so with Article 117 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR - rape. She was hanged by anyone, only one statement from the "victim" was enough. The courts stamped the sentences, not bothering themselves with the search for evidence. Even in camps and prisons, where such rapists were always not painful, the attitude towards them began to change - the falsification of cases of rape became a universally recognized phenomenon. Of course, it was possible to pay off from falsified accusations; Sometimes such things only for this purpose were started.

The same will be with the "pedophilia". And even cooler, since under the bill Medvedev "treatment" should continue for a very long time after release from the conclusion. It is good to increase the salaries of employees of institutions that carry out "treatment" and control its performance!

Is it because the fight against pedophilia has “aggravated” today? Who dares to object to the adoption of new laws when such abuse of children occur in the country? No normal person will say a word to justify such criminals. But few will compare the facts and think about what the newly adopted laws cost.

And the facts are such. Medvedev submitted his bill to the State Duma on July 12. The case in Blagoveshchensk occurred on July 19, in Krasnoyarsk - July 20. It was these undoubtedly dramatic events that became an information background for the president’s legislative initiative. Which, however, perhaps, contrary to the expectations of the authors, did not cause a large public outcry.

In fact, sexual crimes against minors in Russia are about seven cases daily. This is only according to police statistics, which does not include cases of refusal to register crimes and cases when the victims themselves do not want to contact law enforcement agencies. Last year, 2727 such crimes were registered in our country. Since for many years the curve of such crime goes up, then this year such cases are most likely no less. But if there are several of them every day, then why right now we learned about two at once, and precisely after the initiative of Medvedev?

The authorities are conducting another campaign. In 2004, they used the death of 186 children in Beslan, so that, taking advantage of sorrow and confusion in society, to cancel the elections of governors. Now the campaign is different, but its results will be the same - the authorities will solve its corruption problems, and the situation with crime against minors will remain the same. Because the campaign never solves problems, but only exacerbates others.

It is extremely necessary to resist sexual crimes against children, but this is possible only if there is an effective law enforcement system in the country. If we want the children not to be subjected to sexual aggression of maniacs, we must change the political system in Russia so that the law enforcement agencies finally deal with real crime, and not with visitors and entrepreneurs who increase the level of law enforcement revenues. Such changes are unlikely to be possible under the current political leadership. So, it must be changed.
