Reply #327: That's like asking how to prevent women from commiting infanticide.

[TLM]

The mind of someone willing to commit the act is already so fucked up, that I do not know how much prevention before the fact can work.


Beyond situations where the consent issue simply is not clear... and when you move on to a rapist who is going around with the intention of raping, it is not like they do not know what they are doing is wrong.

So it is not like education is going to help.

We could get rid of religion... that'd probably cut out a goodly number of sex crimes right there.


I think really the only practical thing we can do is focus on preventing child sexual abuse. As I understand it most rapists were sexualy abused themselves at some point. So that might be the only real way to end the cycle... something like Dean's success by six program that has cut child sexual abuse in VT by like 70%.

But that still won't stop the odd wacko who just isn't right upstairs.
