Death penalty for rapists?

[Aractus]

Germans dear friend, for once you are making total coherent sense!

The various proposals here, in which people ask for the mutilation and torture of the offender, I find can only be rejected and to me shows why death penalty has to be rejected.

I find it totally distasteful that anyone would condone torture, especially as it's an international crime that has no justification (as I've pointed out before). You may claim that raping someone is torturing them - well you cannot repay torture with torture it breaches international law.

The laws and punishment of a nation justice system should not be decided in the name of the emotional reactions of the individual to serve that individuals needs for revenge.

Yes, 100%.

The laws and punishment of a nations justice system should be desined to represent the comunity and to treat each member of the comunity equaly.

Yes, 100%.

We have "Sicherheitsverwahrung" in Germany. If a offender is found to dangerous to be released into the public then a judge can order him to be detained for a unlimited period of time.

That's an abuse of power. The USA does that as well. It breaches double-jeopardy - a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice. Extending sentences is scandalous in my opinion.

Sexoffenders who are released here spend the rest of their life under police surveilance.
To argue that this is a waste of taxmoney is repulsive, since it implies that one can set a financial value on a human life.
No matter how repulsive a offenders crime might have been, one shouldn`t set a value on that offenders life.

Are you serious? You don't see a problem with that?

If a person has paid their debt to society - in full - and been released, why should they be under perpetual state surveillance?

Thanks again Germans for a refreshing well-balanced reply!
