Messaging is not only about personal responsibility, but intervening when you see something wrong. More education WILL reduce things like this. The solitary predators may never go away, but if everyone is watching out for this #### wherever they are, those predators will lose opportunities to commit these crimes.

Do people really think that a rapist needs more educational messaging? To sit in a classroom and have an HR lady with a powerpoint presentation saying "RAPE IS BAD" to have the message come through?
The only thing that will get messaging through is harsh punishment, much harsher than we have now. The knowledge that if you're found guilty in a court of this crime that you're being imprisoned for decades. Or chemically castrated. Or executed. Instead normal people who would never commit these crimes sit in stupid seminars for something we already agree with while getting notifications from Calgary Police that some repeat sexual offender is getting released back into the community instead of executed like they should be.
