I'm speechless... am getting the impression that the country is full of incestuous paedo rapists.
If society is powerless to prevent this behaviour then there is no end in sight?
Lives destroyed and there is no solution?

It's quite simple really. We need to create a secret police and encourage a society of informers. That way we can prevent prevent all crimes and lock those up who even think of committing crimes.

Outside of the above Orwellian utopia, crimes are only prosecutable after they have been committed.

Yes, I know you're kidding but that reminds me of East Germany and the all-encompassing reach of the Stasi!

Well, thats if your assumption is that prosecution is the only form of deterrent/ prevention.

Give me some others? How do you get somebody to not commit rape? Aside from training every woman to be proficient in judo or other practical martial arts (which would be fairly cool), I don't think there's too much that can be done. The Gardaí can only act after a crime has been committed.

The country is full of incestuous paedo rapists.

Paedophilia is as traditionally Irish as bacon and cabbage, and the GAA.

Though I'm not sure, it could be the case the situation is getting better.

There used to be a very strange attitude to it. The authorities would very seldom intervene. The country was at one point a paedophiles paradise. Many would move here from England. I knew a girl who was sexually abused by her uncle and her family put huge pressure on her not to go to the guards.

I was shocked to find out how much of it was going on around me when I was growing up. But I've been told it was far worse in the 50s and 60s.

I think there maybe less paedophilia happening now - as prosecutions are far more common.
