At this point it’s difficult to identify aberrant behaviour in many individuals before the fact, and comprehensively identifying potential offenders in a community is practically impossible, especially with limited resources.
And families and/or groups often don’t want to report members who display such behaviour.
Yes, I know that we can't identify possible offenders, and even if we could it will take years before someone could implement such a system( given the usual opposing stance of politicians to change). What I'm thinking that we would not apply so much stigma and blame ( I think we can both agree that such things you don't chose) we could reduce the number of victims. After all, we are just the bitches of nature, in my opinion we can minimize that if we change the way we tackle this sort of problems.
You can say that I have an abnormal desire to help the purpatretors, but I think that just applying punishment is not helping that much.
