Rape doesn't happen in public where everyone can see. Rapists are opportunists, they always stalk and wait out for the best moments to do the crime. Again I would rather call this an opinion rather than fact because I have no way of proving that rapists think this way all the time, just that if I were to put myself in the shoes of a rapist that's what I might do.

Like mentioned in my previous reply, Singapore has a very strict yet effective rule of law that has successfully made it the country with the lowest crime rates in the world without resorting to cultural brainwashing like Japan. Many Singaporeans are not culturally civic in the first place, for example they may spit, chew gum, smoke cigarettes far from the nearest smoking areas when outside their own country but when back in Singapore they suddenly become a model citizen. Strict regard to consequences does work, however this may cause a high influx of immigration export because people may want more freedom.

All private companies are corrupt depending on the business arrangements. Serco is no exception, but they don't dictate who gets to stay in immigration detention or not, it is DIBP. The same as prisons in US, it is either the police, sheriff's office, judge or the DA that determines who gets to stay in prison and for how long. Whether the prison gets overcrowded or not the private companies are still getting the same pay, and I'm pretty they'd rather not have an overcrowded prison because it'll reduce their profits.

So a yoga class is probably not the best place to rape someone.

In the US and also some private prisons here now the companies get paid per prisoner. And the contracts guarantee a certain number of prisoners per year so the justice and immigration system have to provide. There's not actually any incentive to reduce crime, the only incentive is to look like you're being tough about it. More people go to prison and are institutionalised into a life of crime, crime continues, politicians rhetoric gets tougher..

With kids there's an opportunity to steer them in a different direction and make them feel like a part of society before they get worse.

And does anyone here want public caning like Singapore? It's also one of the most boring countries in the world
