it wont get any better until we have a suitable deterrent for these sort of crimes..
you and i and the rest of the populous are expendible when it comes to this sort of thing.. statistically
just think if they actually put as much resource into dealing with this as they did speed cams, we would have very little crime such as this

Be careful out there,chris.
Its scary thinking how close to home it is!?
With being attacked myself (not raped though!) I don't put myself in any danger, I don't walk anywhere on my own!! But people should definately be more careful! You always think its never going to happen to you in your own town but it does!!..

a) This sort of crime is committed by people who are disturbed and won't think of the consequences.
b) I don't think the crims will think "ok, I'll only get 15 years for this, I'll do it" rather than "****, 30 years for this, best not do it". If they're gonna do it, the punishment is neither here nor there (that's not to say the deterrent shouldn't be harsh of course!!)
c) You need to catch/get evidence etc. to make a real deterrent. If the crim believes the likelyhood of being caught is high, then they'll think differently.
d) We need to PREVENT rapes, how? not sure. What's happened to these people in their life that lead them to want to rape and think it's ok? Can we do anything about it?

With an 8% conviction rate for rape - and that's for the 1/3 or less which are actually reported - they mostly do.
