One of the best ideas I have heard in a long time is to pass a law to require
mandatory castration of repeat offenders (two or more convictions), while 
providing better protection for everyone on the streets, male and female alike.
I feel that some of the responsibility for protection should rest on the
shoulders of the victims.  If you must travel in a high-risk area, walk with
a partner.  Admittedly, this is frequently inconvenient, and will do nothing 
to protect poeple at home, etc., but it is a start, and is a lot less 
inconvenient than having you life shattered.
