I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.

There's no real legal trickery you can implement that wouldn't undermine the entire concept of a fair trail. It's all 100% character assessment on some people that promiscuous woman = she had it coming or whatever. That's the only real remaining hurdle at this point. Absent a total surveillance society, you're never stopping all crime ever, which I'm more than happy to implement, for you, just so long as I'm the one doing the surveillance.

When do we start?

As is generally the case these days, the problems are not anything intrinsic to or even emergent from our legal system. They're wholly cultural/societal/whatever you want to call it. Which makes it a hell of a lot harder to fix. Educating people on what rape is and what is and is not consent has been shown to reduce rape rates when it's been tried, so we should probably go with that.

Yeah all joking aside, basically this. And not only what rape and consent are, but also what makes it wrong and teach empathy.

A thing that is common to many rapists and especially child rapists is their inability to empathize with victims. They don't see what's wrong, they give themselves the excuse that they were educating their victim, or that the victim liked it, or that it wasn't so bad. People are very good at deluding themselves. That's why culture has got to change.
