Sexual Assault Crimes Against Women

Decent Essays
One may seem that death penalty for sexual assault crimes is not adequate. It does not show other people that this is a big matter, nor does it show them that women are not sexual objects. They should be known for the crime they did, they should stay alive and live with what they have done to these innocent women who were just walking down the street or, just going to see a movie. Killing these people does not leave an impact on society. Letting them be known will make a big impact.
