Justice for child rape
§ 1. The country appears to be switched on to another amend-the-law mode following two dreadful cases of child rape and murder. Out of our raging fury comes all kinds of suggestions for punishments, ranging from lynch mobs to castration.
However, it is difficult to determine whether the proposed adjustments would provide the most effective and practical deterrent against such inhuman acts.
§ 2. At present, the rape charge under the Penal Code carries a mandatory jail term of between five and twenty years as well as whipping. Murder is punishable with the mandatory death penalty.
Logically, therefore it is unwise to amend the law to make rape equally subject to the ultimate punishment because that would make the rapist resort to killing his victim since he would think that he has nothing to lose.
But then rapists, as psychologists say, act large on overpowering impulse, and when committing the act,
do not stop to think about what punishment they might face.
§ 3. What is clear is that there must be a more deterrent law on rape, and if need be, a specific law on child rape.
At present, 67% of rape victims are under 16 years of age. There are calls for stiffer punishments under the Penal Code which must reflect the severity of the crime.
§ 4. Stiffer punishment could take many forms. This includes shaming the perpetrators by flogging them in public as suggested by Rais but opposed by the Bar Council, which says that it will not make a difference.
Not too long ago, the idea of castration was also brought up but has yet to be taken up by lawmakers.
§ 5. Perhaps there has to be a study as to what would deter a would-be rapist most from committing the act. If castration or the threat of it serves the purpose, then the law should be amended to provide for this.
Other changes to the criminal justice system, such as police methods and parole procedures, must also be considered.
The bottom line is to ensure the safety of our children and the security of our environment.

You read the text Justice for Crime in step 2, now you are going to discuss about it.
In your group discuss the following questions:
If the statement below frome the first paragraph is true, what would be your advice to prevent and/or punish rape?
“But then rapists, as psychologists say, act large on overpowering impulse, and when committing the act, do not stop to think about what punishment they might face. “
People generally feel strongly about rape. What makes the public think child rape is even worse?
Killing someone on impulse is called manslaughter and is considered to be a lesser crime than killing someone deliberately (murder). Should this distinction be made, as the result is the same? Should a similar distinction be made in the case of rape?

Italy court orders man to buy feminist books for underage victim
24 September 2016
An Italian judge has ordered a man convicted of using an underage prostitute to buy her 30 feminist books and two feminist films. The 35-year-old man was also jailed for two years for his offence, following an investigation into a paedophile ring. The books include Anne Frank's Diary and the poems of Emily Dickinson.
Judge Paola Di Nicola reportedly hoped the books would help his 15-year-old victim understand the damage done to her dignity as a woman. However, one author whose book was among those on the list told Corriere della Sera newspaper that it would have been better if the judge had read the works to the convicted man instead. "Adolescence is not the time for reflection. What he did was much worse: an adult who, knowingly, paid for sex with a minor," said Adriana Cavarero, a philosophy professor at Verona university and author of Notwithstanding Plato.
The ruling follows a three-year investigation into a major paedophile ring in Rome that preyed on two girls aged 14 and 15 in the upmarket suburb of Parioli. The mastermind has been jailed for nine years. The teenagers were lured into sex work with cash that they used to buy new clothes and the latest mobile phones, investigators said.
