Punishing the victim

[kranz]

@Skytopians
The faster you'll grasp the difference between a proper punishment and a public stigmatization the better. For all of us.

Why should a rapist be stigmatized and a shop-lifter should not?
Maybe stigmatization for both?
In Poland, if you drink n drive the judge may decide to reveal your name to the public. But if you beat your wife, he cannot.
Agreed, some laws and regulations are stupid but raising the "free speech" argument if you don't like sexual abusers misses the point and moves us back to the Middle Ages with all "hanging not punishment enough"

Laws are bureaucratic rules only. They must not at all lead to justice

by Preacher Sky.
yup, they must not...
as if justice was achieved by violating them and tweeting ppl's names

my favorite:

But the victim often is fully expüosed for all sensationalist media to exploit her shame and misery.

Crime pays off

yes, crime pays off and the victim has become a perpetrator and exposed herself to all sensationalist media BY HER OWN choice.

I have no idea how it works in the U S and A but in Bangladesh-like Poland, the victim may become a public prosecutor i.e. basically someone who helps to decide what type of prosecution would be made and whether a deal with the prosecuted side should be reached.
