No. The two concepts have nothing to do with eachother. It’s bad that victims don’t get justice but it’s also bad if people are convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Wrongfully punishing people without sound evidence just to satisfy the feelings of someone who was wronged is not a sane justice system.


Is there any evidence that would convince you that actual rapes are a more prevalent and more important problem than false claims of rape?

If so, what form would that evidence take?

If not, you're really arguing based on faith, not evidence, right?
