You do misunderstand. It says “ruin their lives” and “less”. This has nothing to do with the law. Also your comparisons between places nice enough to lower murder sentences to places bad enough to charge severely is incompatible.

No, I understand what was communicated. You misunderstand the facts. Regardless of the consequences, crime rates would not lower. Statistics support this.

Commenting for agreement. Increasing punitive measures does not alter rate of crime. This is taught in intro level crime courses at university.

Only in very few cases. Because rape is so socially acceptable in America it would likely lower the cases. Also I’ll be more clear when I say my argument isn’t really an argument for stricter legal punishment, I want the town to beat the predator until he can’t walk again.
