This is a sad reality. Instead of helping these people to change for the better, educate them to learn and renew their lives, the community (and even our government) will condemn them and not giving them a second change to grow and mature.
I do agree also that they should be treated with respect (yes even though they do not give respect at the first place and they committed horrible crimes). We should start doing things as early as childhood development to prevent them from committing crimes the moment they grow up.
What do you think could be done in childhood to stop people from becoming rapists? I think that this is something that has to be done in the home. As much as many governments seem to try, we can't really control what happens in the home. We shouldn't really. This mean that we can't make people create loving home environments and teach their children to respect others. I think that a lot of people who commit rape have something missing in their lives. Maybe they weren't loved as a child. That's not always true, for sure, but I think it is sometimes.
