I want to preempt this by apologizing if you are a victim yourself, or at least say I don't speak for all victims. That said, threatening violence - unless as immediate defense - is not moral within my view. I've been raped and had loved ones violently murdered. I would not wish pain on those responsible. I want them to understand and grow as people. Maybe it will never happen, and I can accept that. I can't accept loosening my moral standards and sinking to their level.

Sequestering them from society is more preferable. Requiring therapy. Community service.

I've been in therapy off and on for years. One piece of advice a therapist gave me that I'll never forget is to never stop being an idealist.
