A typical example of a crime that is very rarely punished is rape. I hope you'll agree that it should nevertheless remain banned.

- Nasrudith 8y agoThere is a difference between rarely enforced and rarely punished. In antiquity before forensics if someone murdered someone on a country road and cleaned their clothes and cleaned or disposed of their weapon nobody would ever know who did it without a confession. However if they saw someone murdering a man in the street they would mob the assailant and capture or kill him. The first case they may bury bodies and set an armed patrol of some sort for roving bandits but the murderer would never be punished per say. However if nearly everyone drinks and alcohol is illegal but bars operate openly yeah that law is bad it is only being used as a pretext.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoIt's rarely punished because it's hard to prosecute. When an actionable case is dropped in a prosecutor's lap they're happy to take it to court.
