And there are also repeat sex offenders. It's all well and good to look at statistics until you meet a person or child whose life has just been brutalized because someone in the system thought that John Doe, a convicted criminal, should be let go on "good behavior". (What the f--- does that mean anyway? Wow, he's been on his best behavior behind bars and has said everything the prison psychologist's textbook said he should say. Let's set him loose on society and see if he rapes/kills another bunch of kids.)
I see the "one innocent man" rule from the opposite direction: I'd rather a 100 potential reformed pedophiles are executed than one child become the victim of the "lapsed" ex-con.
-campaigns against rape culture, teaching society to value women,
I can't think of a bigger campaign against rape culture than making it a capital crime.
