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.
Does this actually work?

If it did, one would think that in the nation where they have the highest rate of incarceration, they would also have the lowest crime rates. One would be forgiven for thinking that in this same nation where they still regularly implement the death penalty for murder that they also have the lowest murder rates.

No? Maybe the solution is just a tad more nuanced? Perhaps?
