Is one year prison a correct punishment for a rape crime?

[strateguy632]

what is your opinion about punishment to deter rape. is one year prison the correct punishment or too much? or not enough?

should the punishment be same for all criminal rape or maybe rape of a minor deserves greater punishment? if so rape of adult relatively less punishment?

should it be same for all or should punishment depend on consent that does not count in minors who cannot agree, legally, in contrast to coerced?

should the amount depend if victim young boy in contrast to young girl?

all horrible, so must punish, so how?

I must be more careful with nuances, should punishment be same whether victim is minor age 17 or 7 whether victim male or female, same? or subjective distinctions?

now that i have seen several responses i can reveal the system that i left. the quote is shocking, in ancient israel the punishment, if God forbid someone grabbed a single unmarried girl, the punishment for rape was, i hope you are sitting "pay her father 50 silver pieces" and the rapist must never "leave her" but be her husband source deuteronomy 22:29. when i contrast that to our society i have no words.

[WonderBell99]

Of course not. Why just one year? Does it occur to the law makers that rape can have a humongous impact on a person's mental health? It fucks up their life. Mandatory public humiliation, *at least* a decade of prison time and chemical castration (as many have suggested) should suffice.

[WonderBell99]

Update: Yes, I’m aware. I read a book by Yuval Noah Harrari and he talks about this in detail. They had different laws for noble women and common women as well.

[strateguy632]

to wonder, i agree with you that the horrible trauma must be considered. i add that even if legislation would punish more severely for example seven years prison, still judges do not and might not apply the law when a jury decided guilty.

Actually under most circumstances the man gets stoned to death in the Bible, unless it's in a case where the woman will probably not be able to get another man to marry her. And I agree that rapists should be stoned to death.

[strateguy632]

your idea does not ERASE the source i qouted. again that is book Deuteronomy 22:29. unless you meant "most sins with death penalty" but all circumstances of single women, before wedding, are never death penalty even in the "law of death" book.
about death penalty, i consider a self contradiction when book said "death for a death" but eye for an eye, implying not death for an eye, i mean the murderer must lose his physical life only if killed a person physically, but not "death for an eye," while other sins seem contradiction when assigned death penalty to sinners who did not kill a physical person body therefore killing the sinner physically would not match the crime and not true justice. a compromise between your suggestion and the law for single women, would be attaching chapter 25, a source about 40 whip lashes to a crime which inflicted physical pain, but that has not been applied just my invention. my two cents.

[strateguy632]

sorry for length but the contrast is SHOCKING to consider they gave physical pain of whip for the sin of eating pig, but not for inflicting physical pain in rape. i cannot accept that.

[LazerBean]

No, it does not say for single women. Women who are married, betrothed, or engaged get to have their rapists stoned to death, meaning whether or not a wedding has happened is irrelevant. Betrothals can last years, just as Jacob was betrothed to his second wife for 14 years. So by the law of Moses a man who would have raped her at any point between the marriage and 14 years before would be stoned to death. Very sad we don't kill more criminals these days.

[strateguy632]

i can compromise with you about after marriage however that still does not INDICATE the SEVERITY of rape, due to the death penalty for married people even with CONSENT, death, without rape, source leviticus chapter 20. and for one instance burn them in a fire (which i cannot accept that either as explained above.) however as much as we want to deny that detail, about single, it is not erased.

[strateguy632]

about 14 years that was in a separate story.

[boggboss]

Only a year for rape seems a little underwhelming no

[boggboss]

Charges of abh or gbh can have longer sentences then a year lol

[strateguy632]

but in news one year... "can" is not being applied.

[iheartwomen]

no, thats the only thing the victim will think about, they’ll never feel clean, they’ll blame themselves, and be terrified for the rest of their life. imagine the person u fear most gets to walk free

[strateguy632]

i share your horror. very vivid image. and the trauma is worse than awful.

[EmmaMary]

One Year Imprisonment plus Chemical Castration might, just might be acceptable.

[strateguy632]

one of the results of chemical "castration" is reducing libido desires, which might be justified for a rapist.

[Spongebobssocks]

It should be chemical castration and their name and adress publicly out for people to know who they are. Plus prison where they get tested for products like animals are. (I am refering to when their is evidence and it is severe)

[Agape93]

Nowhere near enough. They should be flayed alive and be nailed to posts, left to die of exposure and animal predation.

[strateguy632]

even "an eye for an eye" does not go "that far", but i see the emphasis on the issue and the horror of the crime in your words.

If I could answer as an anon, I would make a comment on this. Pity.

[strateguy632]

only serious answers , as serious as this horrible ropic.
