Like that of yr expplanation for victim, I can also used it on
the offender too. He serves his term but upon his release. His past
record still haunts him. People ask him what crime he commited.
Imagine he mention the word rape. The person who ask him will
immediately run away from him. People will shine away from him even
he serves his term.
Lets not be too harsh on the offender. A dozen years
ols jail and at least 12 strokes cane are no joke in
terms of emotional and physical scar for a human being.
So you support and have compassion for sex offenders like a
rapist?
The rapist should know better than to outrage the modesty and
violate the will of his victims.
The main point is to put a stop to sex offenders and do every
possible actions to produce another rape victim in our society.
Extreme harsh and unforgiving punishment is necessary to instill
great fear deeply into all potential sex offenders and also to help
to remind them with fear that it is always wrong for anyone to
violate another person's modesty to satisfy and surrender to their
own inapprioriate desire and behaviour.
This in turn will force them to be a better person in their
society even if they don't turn out to be really useful in their
society.
I don't know about you...cos you're CannyOng, but I'll know at
least I will be safer. 
Spare the rod and spoil the child, Lighten the punishment
and risk your own future.
