Therapy makes paedos more likely to offend because they just learn new ways to justify their behaviour.

Even if there's a small chance pedos will be more likely to offend and learn ways to justify their behavior with therapy, there's a astronomically higher chance that the rehabilitation plan of"pedos face the wall" will lead to making pedos more likely to offend. If the rule becomes "If I molest a child, I will be killed. If I consume CP, whether drawn or real, I will be killed. If anyone finds out I'm attracted to children, I will be killed. If I try to seek help to cure this condition, the doctors/therapists are duty-bound to call the cops and I will be killed"... well, in that case more and more people will go to "...well, if I'm going to be killed no matter what, then I might as well molest a child and at least fulfill this one sexual fantasy I have before they kill me."

This is more exacerbated because most offending pedophiles were, themselves, molested as a child, which means inevitably to really stop pedos, you'll also have to give the child they molested the woodchipper as well (can't give them therapy, they'll justify offending in the future amirite?)...which will only give the pedophile even more power over their victim since "...if you tell anyone what we're doing, they won't just kill me, they'll also kill you for it..." is guaranteed to keep kids silent about their abuse.

The amount of problems for just "pedos face the wall" vs. "let non-offending pedophiles seek help without fear of arrest" is so great that if someone says "pedos face the wall" as the only way to do it, I have to assume they, themselves, are a pedophile trying to plot to put things on easy mode.

This is just bullshit and not how offending works at all.

The main thing stopping paedos offending is the social shame and hate.

Any indication that child rape is acceptable and offending rates go up.

It's not a small change that paedos offend more if given therapy, it's a large percentage observed over and over again.

It's not a large chance paedos will offend more if there is hate and strict punishment, that's literally the opposite of what happens every time.

Men, yes even men, will not sexually abuse people if their lives are at risk and they think they will get caught.

You seem to have fallen for the lie that sex offenders just can't help themselves. This is nonsense. They can help themselves which is why they can spend years getting into a position of trust or years grooming a victim before acting at all. It's planned.

You have also fallen for the lie that most paedophiles were abused as children. They often concoct a story of a bad childhood to get sympathy but compulsive liar do that. Research shows torturing animals as a child is more likely to lead to someone abusing kids than being abused themselves. These people are psychopaths and sadists. And that's a horrible myth to repeat as abuse victims often avoid having relationships or kids because they are scared of become abusers when that's actually not a risk (more so their kids are at risk because abused victims tend to let questionable people into their lives).

Sorry you understand how human beings work.

There's literal studies on this. On why pedophilia happens and what causes it. With this being the one of the top ones due to their brain development differing compared to a child's who wouldn't have been abused.
