im studying to be a lawyer...so i know that murder is a crime of much higher degree...but when you look at it from the victim's point of view....is rape more traumatic or is it muder..?
i go for rape...cause the victim has to continue suffering the sh!t that happened to her even after its over...
why does something like rape take place even though there are so many people to stand up and say they are against it??

Rape is more traumatic because the victim survives and will suffer the consequences of crime for her lifetime while in murder, the victim no longer feel the outcome of the crime.

Murder, as it silences the victim forever, wheras w/rape, it the woman is stlll , alive, breathing an willing to prosecute could receive a convction as a believable witness to her experience.
A DNA witness, if still viable, can only give very subjective tesitimony, which may not corroborate to the fact due to her youth an confusion, letting the sleezebag off the hook.

They are equal offenses. One kills the soul and the other kills the body. Both should be capital offenses.
Why do rapes take place when so many are against it? Because the criminal, whether he is a rapist, murder, or petty thief, does not care what society condemns, the only thing important in their corrupted world is themselves.
