Well yeah, Democrats understand that making any crime’s punishment the same as murder just incentivizes the perpetrator to murder the victim. Also, it’s just unconstitutional.

It’s a very Republican law, in that its already been deemed unconstitutional and statistically makes it way worse for victims (puts them at much greater risk of being killed, and causes victims to not come out if they were abused by a family member) but you like it because it sounds cool and vengeful. It’s never about doing what actually helps victims, it’s about a facade of “tough on crime” (unless if they’re rich)

Well yeah the democrats oppose the death penalty

It’s like this with republican abortion, drug, and violent crime policy too. It’s all about the optics of harsh punishments but never any preventative action that has actually been shown to help.

The death penalty being on the table “incentivizes” the perpetrator to murder the victim?

Can’t report it if no one is alive to report it. Rapists are fucked up people

Yes. Because if they leave the victim alive, and the victim tells, then they die. If they kill the victim, and they get caught for the murder, they also die. But it’s harder for the authorities to solve a murder than it is to follow up on a report.

Murder actually consistently has one of, if not the highest clearance rates in terms of crime. Statistically speaking offenders have a better chance of getting away with raping the child if they let them live

Is there a study for this?

They changed the way you access crime data and clearance rates within the FBI for more modern years so it’s more of a pain in the ass to find cause you now have to manually download the tables and open the spread sheet but here’s a link to the 2019 clearance rates. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-25

I see. But this is clearance, meaning someone was arrested, charged, and prosecuted. This doesn’t mean there was a conviction

Sorry for taking so long I had to find the data and do the math myself on the BJS website cause there’s not a great source with just the plain number. But at the federal level the conviction rate for murder was around 65% from 1998 to 2003, the conviction rate for sexual abuse which is more of a catch all at the federal level that involves things like rape, sexual assault, groping, kind of a mixed bag there is 66% from 1998 to 2023 So their conviction rates are about equal at the federal level

Obviously there’s gonna be some variation at the state and local level depending on resources and how much a state or area cares about xyz crime and victim but that’s the general number

You can go here and double check my math by clicking on the tables of persons charged and then persons sentenced then filtering by the specific crimes (murder and sexual abuse) https://fccps.bjs.ojp.gov
