Resident Redneck Facist
Remember how they want absolutely nothing to do with the police? It's not that they don't want policing, they just don't want the police to do the policing, because they don't think the police is doing what it's supposed to.
Protecting criminals isn't going to make that any better.
Given the track record of the American police I understand them. Not sure who else can deal with it better, though.
Overall most US police do a reasonable good job, and much better than the vast majority of the world. When there is abuse though, we see it 24/7 on the news and it makes it look a lot worse than it is.
Like I said, the likelihood that punishing him will stop him is low. The likelihood that he will stop is probably much higher with councelling.
If he is in jail, at least until he gets out, he will not be raping anyone (anyone not in prison at least). Again, I ask for even ONE legitimate phycologist that believes rapists can be reformed with counseling, Hell, I'll settle for a legitimate study.
Besides, there's as much rape in jails as outside of them, if not more. So that jail stops rape is… well, it's false. The only difference is that we like those rape victims less.
If someone is going to be raped, I'd much rather it be a prisoner than an innocent person.
Got any proof it isn't?
Proofing a negative is impossible. You made the assertion, it is up to you to proof it works. I can conclusively prove that any person in prison for rape will not be raping anyone outside of prison during their stay though.
If what I say about the cause of rape is true, then getting rapists to understand that a mini-skirt doesn't mean you're entitled to sex is going to be more effective than prison. Because prison isn't going to get them to awknowledge that (if anything prison will only strengthen that belief).
You completely misunderstand the rapist mind. A rapist may use the dress of a person to justify it to themselves, but that isn't the underlying cause of the desire to commit rape.
(And I've seen evidence that councelling works well when it comes to domestic violence. So why wouldn't it work with rapists? I doubt there's all that much difference in mentality between the two.)
I'd be interested to see that, but my initial guess would be because the nature of the crime is significantly different.
