"The mutilated body of the 31-year-old trainee doctor was found on August 9 in a meeting room of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where she practiced. According to the initial investigation, she was violently assaulted and raped when she isolated herself to rest after a 36-hour shift. The hospital, like many others, does not have an on-call room."
Can you imagine pushing yourself to the limit to help heal others, just to be met by POS rapists at the end? Sickening isn't a strong enough word to describe it.

This and the Pelicot case are really haunting.

No

Some folks are absolutely incapable of it, until they get lots of therapy.

So then they went and passed a law that gives the death penalty to those that do it ending in death. It won't stop what's happening there tho.

Laws actually do have an effect on criminal behavior. It's why we have them.

Problem is, the laws are not being enforced. Time and again, local law enforcement authorities turn a blind eye to the rape and murder of women and young girls.

There are VERY few criminals who do something and expect to get caught. Beyond a certain point, the severity of the punishment has not really been proven to be any more effective as a deterrent, whether it's 10 years in jail, 30, life or death.
Instead, you could say it's a way to keep dangerous people out of society, or you can admit it's partially also just sheer vengeance. I'm not saying that's unwarranted, but be honest.
India, however, needs RIGOROUS social and political change.>

> there is an awful disdain for women, a lack of education, basic human needs aren't met, and there's rampant corruption, top to bottom. It's an incredibly toxic mess, and just tougher reprisals aren't going to solve anything if society is so fucked up.

It’s not a death penalty they need for rape, it’s castration. Every rape of someone they’ve found guilty should mean they lose the penis with the testicles and become a eunuch with emasculation.

I don’t know why that is a hard punishment to get to? The men forced their phallus into someone to violate them, mutilated them, then finally murdered them. Losing a piece of the reason they did it sounds like justice.

It's difficult to get a law like that passed, when half the ones that write the laws are offenders. If their own transgressions were to come to light, they don't want the penalty to be something so harsh.

Probably the same reason the death penalty has been getting less and less common. There are cases where innocent people get convicted and it gets overturned later. The wrongful conviction rate in the US is around 5% and higher than that if you are a minority.

Not death. They should live with the consequences.

Totally agreed. It would give them time to reflect on how disgustingly selfish and despicable they are. Plus, they wouldn't be able to do it again.
