I'm with you on the violent sex offenders - there should be a much higher degree of punishment than for other ones.

However, if death is the punishment for rape, then the sick one has a high incentive to kill all his victims.

Criminals know these things, it's part of their "job." If rape is a capital crime, murders of rape victims will go up dramatically.

There needs to be a deterent to the criminal from increasing their crime.

Frankly, I think that the death toll of rape victims is up pretty high to begin with....
