laws aren't for preventing these sort of things. They're for punishing the people who do them.

Good rape example. However, I strongly disagree with this comment. General and Specific deterence are the two most important reasons to have laws IMO. They may not be the most important in your opinion, but you have to admit that they are reasons regardless.
In this situation, I think that specific deterence is of utmost importance.
