Make the minimum penalty for rape 20 years with no early release
The maximum penalty for rape is life imprisonment however in 2020 the average custodial sentence for all rape offences was just over 10 years and offenders are normally released on parole after serving just two thirds.
There are no shortage of cases where offenders found guilty of rape receive inadequate sentences, and go on to be released after serving two thirds of their sentence. The sentencing is not reflective of the crime.
