181. thanks for clarifying the point you were trying to make.
I agree that I am concerned about various forms of vigilanteism that this (and registries) seems to promote/spawn.

However I think the low rate of convictions is unrelated. I don't think the low rate is simply due to "weak" cases. I think the main poster raises an important factor - the low rate of willingness of victims to participate (from reporting on up to participating in prosecutions) in court procedings.
