You read the text Justice for Crime, 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?
