My major concern is what about false conviction? Those do certainly happen, and more often then we tend to want to admit. Particularly in pedophile cases as children are incredibly unreliable witnesses, and have made false accusations in the past.
Sky is also correct, the rate of success with treatment is low, particularly dealing with therapy and psychopathic individuals (which many predatory sex offenders would fall under). Pedophilia is also not treatable either as the brains of these people are wired to be sexually aroused by children. There has been some success with drugs that suppress sexual desire and pedophiles, but it has its own problem.
