Tunisie Telegraph: Why has the death penalty not deterred global rape crimes

Studies and statistics indicate that implementing the death penalty for perpetrators of rape, despite its widespread use in about 31 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, has not yielded tangible results in reducing crime rates or deterring offenders. The reasons for this failure include weaknesses within justice systems, where the deterrent effect relies solely on the likelihood of arrest, while slow judicial processes and repeated instances of offenders evading punishment create a false sense of safety among perpetrators. Additionally, equating the death penalty with killing the victim encourages offenders to murder witnesses to eliminate evidence, and secrecy around crimes arises from families' fears of severe punishment. Moreover, judges' reluctance to convict suspects further complicates accountability. Experts emphasize that the true solution lies in reforming the judicial system, improving investigations, and supporting victims, rather than relying solely on harsh penalties.
