It also doesn't help that the party executive has been controlled by former SSU inter-city kids since the last economic crash. The same people who nodded without question at Persson, ran Sahlin's awful 2010 campaign and that ousted Juholt are still in control.

My kneejerk reaction was to point out that correctional system is called such since it emphasises rehabilitation, rather than punishment. Why not just execute all criminals on spot, if you want to send a message on toughness? Or will that not feel good?

Like, the entire point is that some super lovely guys have a super lovely view of women and therefore don't see anything wrong with livestreaming rape, so you're basically raging against somebody who is basically saying that same thing as you here. The question is, how is harsher punishments reasonably going to deter someone who doesn't think what they're doing is wrong?

I think S are partly victims of their own success. They've been in charge for so long that they take their voter base for granted. It's only recently they've seen themselves at risk of becoming a minority party and they don't know how to handle it.

You stick them in a prison cell for a long rear end time, then try to rehabilitate them by teaching them to act like human beings. That sends the message that rape is unacceptable, and that we actually consider it a serious offense, while trying to make the shitstains realise why they're being shitstains and how not to be shitstains. This isn't rocket science.

But I find it fascinating that you apparently think ignorance of the law means they should get less jail time. "Oh sorry officer, I didn't know drugging someone then raping them was a crime" is, in your view, a legitimate excuse apparently. Defending rapists is now "informed analysis"!

Pretty easy to reach the conclusion, actually!

I'm pretty tired of all this hand wringing and "informed analysis" in the defense of these poor poor rapists. This isn't some gordian knot of unimaginable complexity. You break the law, you suffer the consequences. That the consequences of rape in this country are laughable is the real issue here, not the ignorance of the rapist.
Ignorance of lovely behavior is no excuse to break the law and should be punished. This is to A) Deter future shitheads who want to do the thing, or claim ignorance as an excuse to get a lighter punishment, and to B) signal that we as a society view this sort of behavior as unacceptable. Yes, future shitheads might commit the exact same crime due to their ignorance, but by punishing current shitheads now we increase the odds of future potential shitheads knowing that this is a crime, we punish this sort of stuff harshly and to not loving do it by much more than just putting them in rehab and calling it a day. Doubly so in cases with lots of media attention.

Stop defending this poo poo and stop pretending that article has any form of "informed analysis". It's bullshit through and through.

Current sentencing laws are based upon proving the appearance of non consent, rather then proving that there was consent. Thus a huge margin of rape trials never go to court.

Due to to the lack of proper actions taken and the dismissal of many rape trials due to technicalities, i completely understand any anger and won't hold it against anybody screaming "cut the dicks of the rapists."

You can increase punishment until we lob rapist into the sun but it won't matter a bit when the problem is difficulty of prosecution. Some of that can be resolved by untangling outdated judicial wordings (jesus what was that even last year) but there's a reason that most experts consider this to be a battle that is best fought by changing norms.

Increasing punishment makes it seem like you're doing something but in actuality you're not really doing anything, like murder statistically most rapes are not planned. For example, when three fuckers with a livestream put their hands on a girl you can bet your rear end that risk-analysis was the last thing on their mind.

This is a good point. The case with the woman in a wheelchair was horrifying, and I can't for the life of me understand why the courts are so god drat insistent on giving every single benefit of the doubt to rapists. I don't know what the issue is, if it's weird legaleese or lovely people with lovely opinions, but something has to change.

Literally nobody has defended any of this, so I suppose this all is just a case of your reading comprehention being piss-poor.

EDIT: I mean, for gently caress's sake, we're talking about some shitheads who were literally livestreaming their crime It's pretty safe to say that somebody who is just feigning ignorance about what they're doing would be dumb enough to literally provide decisive video evidence of their criminal act. Your attempted counterpoints are pure nonsense and miss the point by a country mile.

Tha article is addressing a specific situation of some shithead fuckers raping a girl and livestreaming it. The point it's making is that super-lovely attitudes towards women in society lead to super-lovely dudes like this raping but also not think of it as a "real" rape and hence a not crime. Here we could bring up the the standard list of excuses that rapists tell themselves, but I'll omit that for the sake of brevity.

The problem it brings up is that the reaction to poo poo like this happening is generally to demand harsher sentencing to deter more poo poo like this from happening in the future. After this the article then asks a very good question about how exactly stiffer sentences are supposed to deter people who don't see the crime they're committing as a crime. This doesn't have anything to do with letting the aforementioned shithead fuckers off the hook, but is rather a descriptive statement about criminal psychology. Simply put, while ignorance of the law isn't an excuse, it's hard to see how harsh sentences will deter somebody from committing a crime they're ignorant of. Therefore it concludes that a better solution to preventing poo poo like this particular case from happening in the future than demanding harsher sentences would be to make a real effort in educate people about what rape actually is.

This shouldn't be a hard argument to grasp, and it's not saying that raping women is A-OK as long as the rapist doesn't think what they're doing is rape. It's simply arguing for taking a more effective approach towards preventing cases like this from happening in the future.

The correct answer is to place them in a center for behavioral correction, kind of like a mental hospital, indefinitely. They will only be released once a panel of experts agree that they have truly learned and sincerely believe rape is wrong.
