New York AP reports judges increasingly order Depo-Provera as punishment for rapists and child molesters, sparking debate over moral and constitutional bounds.

Critics warn of dangerous precedents and doubt the drug cures underlying violence, while supporters say it lowers sex drive and reduces recidivism.
