New figures released by the Delhi Police reveal that a woman is raped every 18 hours or molested every 14 hours in the Capital. Shockingly, the majority of the attackers are below 25 years.

Sadly , this trial and conviction will i fear , not alter much the above shocking statistics ; untill women are not seen by men as second classs citizens , and are treated with respect .

One lady said that groping of women on buses was prevalent and that they just had to accept it as a way of life .

Usual lefty drivel about deterrents. yes there is no such thing as a 100% deterrrant, there is always a nutter. tell you what I don't really care if it's a deterrent or not, they won't do it again. That's good enough for me and, if, it deters most then great. how many murders per head in 1960? how many today? QED! To be fair though I hav mellowed in recent years and if life meant life I'd drop the capital punishment request.
Good they have been convicted, Not so keen on the death penalty being imposed, personally, but hey, its their country, their rules I guess.
From the sound of things, it seems very unlikely that the imposition of the death penalty in this case will offer any kind of effective deterrent for future potential rapists. What is required is a paradigm shift in the way in which men regard women within Indian culture, and this death penalty is unlikely to offer that.
On the positive side,it may well offer relatives and friends of the victim, and the morally outraged a sense of closure and justice. On the other hand, it may well obscure the need for a cultural shift in attitudes towards women.

/so lets let them off then, no point in spending public money keeping them in one of her majesty's holiday camps is there? /
TTT
So your proposal is to let off murderers without any sanction?
That displays moral bankruptcy
(and if you think Lifers are subjected to a 'holiday camp' existence, you obviously don't know much about prisons)

/// Baldric - if sentences were deterents, our jails would be empty - but clearly they are not. ///
Read what he said,
/// And if carrying out the sentence it makes a few other guys think twice
before doing similar then it's no bad thing. ///
If it makes 'A FEW' other guys, not all such criminals, what do you suggest andy, that they should all be given just a 'good talking' to?

Leaving aside your apparent intention to put words in my mouth - something which sends you into instant paroxysms of rage when you perceive it as done to you - I do not believe that any person who commits a crime is remotely deterred by the notion of the sentences received by others.
