I once heard Clive Stafford Smith arguing that there was a greater chance of successfully appealing a death penalty the earlier in the legal process that action is taken.
Ergo, if action is taken before the crime has even taken place, the greater the chance of not getting to the point of execution.
So, to answer your question, in a country where 45 murders are committed every day, I guess your best bet is to start in schools as part of an education curriculum.
Eggs for breakfast is traditional in Britain, but I doubt many people have them every day, anymore.
They are a cheap source of protein however, and as food has become very expensive over here I expect their popularity will have increased again.
They are high in cholesterol, especially the yolks, but it probably depends on the rest of one's diet and exercise regime as well. I eat a lot of eggs because they are one of the few things I can eat, but the last time I had a health check including my cholesteral levels, my doctor growled at me with jealousy because I'm so healthy.
And how she hid her lunchbox I made for her this morning in the garage, that I swore blind I'd put by the front door when her mother was having a go at me for having a senior moment.
They've already lived with the scars, so they don't deserve justice, or action will promote their healing?
The perpretrators deserve to be able to carry on abusing children with impunity because they've successfully been doing it for such a long time?
Are we talking about the same subject, All? In the same language? Are we even on the same planet?
I've already made my proposal above: indefinite imprisonment until the perpretrators acknowledge responsibility, acknowledge the damage they've done with their crimes and until they can demonstrate they're no longer a risk.
In the wake of the song he allegedly wrote, it's apparent that he blames the victims of his crimes and doesn't take personal responsibility for them.
I don't believe in life without parole sentences, but I do believe in indefinite sentences for those who continue to be a risk to society, including children.
If he hasn't taken personal responsibility and doesn't understand the gravity of his crimes, he's likely to continue with this kind of behaviour.
I'd say, keep him in prison until he can demonstrate he's no longer a risk. However, I shan't cry if he chooses never to address his wrong doing, or dies in prison before being able to.
For my current main job, for some tasks I have to use alcohol wipes for sterilising equipment before carrying out tests.
Well, something out of the ordinary happened and I had to test again...and again...and again...
Anyway, once I was finished and had sorted the problem, I became aware of a peculiar feeling.
As alcohol can be absorbed through the skin and I'm such a light-weight, I realised I was just a little bit tipsy and horribly embarassed for the next hour.
I think perhaps testing might need to take accidental imbibing into account before terminating people's employment.
