D- Anger management can be used as an alternative treatment. This involves sessions in which they aim to change behavioural patterns and the causes of their agressive outbursts. This treatment may be deemed more effective as it looks at the root causes of agression, rather than just masking the symptoms as hormone treatments do, creating a 'chemcial straightjacket'
E- The treatment of criminality through hormones can be argued as a very high form of social control. The criminals do not have any say in what drug they take , the practicioner decides all of this for them, so they are not taking any active stance in their treatment
S- support from maletsky (see next card)
Side effects- there can be some serious side effects, such as liver dsyfunction
Expence - Hormone therapy is available on the NHS. This means that it should be avaiable and acessable to all, but maletskys study showed that this was not the case.
R- Hormone treatment only masks the symptoms of agression, rather than trying to get to the root cause
T- not very time consuming, but they may have to take the drugs every day (multiply)
