I'd think they tend to lean more conservative, with the wwhole justice and law and order thing.

It is a liberal myth, created by UGA professor Susan Brownmiller, that sex crimes are about "power"It's not entirely myth, and it's not that simple. Violent rape is the prduct of a deviant sex drive in which sex, violence and domination are inseparable. Your basic pont is dead on: Take away the sex drive, and you take away the motivation for the crime.

What do you reccommend for punishment? I don't know, it seemed like you were recommending your 3 strike rule to sexual offenders that were not rapist or child molesters? Without knowing all the crimes that could make you a sex offender I would think it would be best to charge each crime individually and make the punishments for each crime as harsh as they should be. Three strike rules should just be for baseball. Or at least that is the way I see it.

Sorry I forgot to mention. MY three strikes does allow for EXXTREMELY extenuating circumstances. If a person is found to be a scumbag pervert offender as opposed to, I don't know, accidental exposure/touching or mental disabilities, then 3 strikes apply.
Personally I like 3 strikes. Great deterrence and ensure that certain criminals won't be back out on the streets. But like most things, it still needs to be seen on a case by case basis.

If you took the time to read my original post, you'd know.
