Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 12 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.
