cant understand why they just are not put down. If a dog attacks someone they are put down. If a shark kills someone its hunted and put down. Raping children is not the same kind of crime as stealing. Stealing whilst not tolerable is understandable why people do it. Sexual abuse is an unfixable sickness that can't be tolerated so why kid ourselves thinking jail will rehabilitate these people.
I suppose you have some evidence for that? Or is it just that there's not much shock value in criminals (of any type) that are successfully rehabilitated and therefore the mainstream media doesn't publishing those stories?
Perhaps read some academic studies on the issue. Something outside News Limited.
