Did you ever find yourself sympathising with the criminals instead of the victims?

That's not good, not at all

I guess the real question is whether the mandatory treatment actually helps or just temporarily holds them down.

It does, thanks for answering.

I guess both is good aswell, but holding criminals down temporarily can be very dangerous. It's someone who has experience in the crime and more knowledge then ever. If they decide to act on their desires it'll be worse than before.
