Are you misunderstanding this as a personal analysis to _understand_ the rapist personally? I don't think that's it -- she gave them numbers after all. At a population level, it's interesting to study. Our brains are machines that we don't fully understand, it could be useful to discover why rapists rape. If you had lived one of those guys on the bus' life, would you have participated? Or are people like this born broken, never to be fixed, and we may as well throw away the key? It's a bit like Star Trek: Nemesis. In some future if we could give a convicted rapist a pill that we scientifically know would prevent him from ever having a rape impulse again, would we accept him back into society? What if it was preventative?
