Hear me out... if perpetrators knew that not only would there be an immediate price to pay for inflicting a wrongful act on someone in the community on top of being shamed and shunned, couldn’t that serve as a real deterrent?.?.?.?. as opposed to them having a chance of not paying a penalty because the police are doing lazy police work or there isn’t any hardcore evidence
I hear what you're saying but that leads to an unending cycle of vengeance.
My brother rapes your sister.
So you kill my brother.
Then my uncle kills you (because he doesn't believe that it was rape, or he doesn't care).
Then your father kills my uncle..
Then I kill your father, and everyone in the room with him (family or otherwise).
Then your family is, essentially, at war with my family for generations over the actions of one person. x 100,000 families x countless generations.
Hell I mean even feudal Japan had laws about this stuff to limit just that type of shyt.
Overall deterrent enforced by a massive, overwhelming force.... it's just better breh.
Having said that, if someone rapes my sister, they're getting dealt with, obviously.
But as a society, a police force is necessary.
