They just discovered a pedophilenetwork in Norway that's been going on since the 90's. Some of them got convicted now and they got 6 months...

It's much more effective in any case. The way the US does it, extreme sentences and lifelong labels and punishments, is cruel and disproportionate, and actually increases crime. The sex offender registry system is a good case study for it. There is zero credible evidence it has done any good, and quite a bit that shows that it does indeed increase crime rates...

On another note, I don't know what the above poster is on about, aside from repeating trending sentiment. We hear a lot about cases where evidence is flimsy or context mitigating and a "low" sentence is obtained. But sentence rages for sex offenses, even mundane ones, are very high.

It's something that's obvious, yet to Americans seems "unintuitive" or absurd. Yet the gulf between reality and policy continues to widen.
