Well you know how I feel about dodgy covers, so that's right up my proverbial. As for the Paedophile circle, I feel that rehabilitation, after (and as well as) punishment can be a vital part of preventing recidivism. However I'm torn on the issue. One part of me thinks that they should be pariahed, but I agree that that may lead to further offences due to psychosocial breakdown. Another concern is for the safety of the offender, in case some 'Disgusted, Fulham' type decided to get on a circle and batter them. Strict filtering of circle members would have to be done, I feel.
