I personnally don't believe that castration would solve the problem of rape.
My impression is that rape is a violent crime in which the rapist uses his
penis as a weapon.  Taking that weapon away from him without trying to either
stop him physically from harming people again (by emprisonment) or trying to
make this person less violent (by rehabilitation) will simply make him
look for another weapon.  Most other weapons available will be much more
dangerous than the one that has been taken away from him.
