📊 Survey 4 Summary

The question was framed without emotional bias: "Do you think rapists convicted of rape (no murder) should be punished for 10 yrs, 5 yrs, 15 yrs, or with a $10,000 fine + 1 year of jail?"

• 22.2% voted for 5 years of imprisonment (Option A)
• 0.0% voted for 10 years of imprisonment (Option B)
• 55.6% voted for 15 years of imprisonment (Option C)
• 22.2% voted for 1 year of jail + $10,000 fine (Option D)

The majority clearly supports the harshest option—15 years of jail—as a fitting punishment, indicating a strong preference for deterrence and long-term sentencing. The total absence of votes for the middle-ground option of 10 years suggests that people either preferred to go easy or go hard, with no one opting for compromise. Interestingly, a minority still saw value in a more reformative or lenient approach, showing that the debate around justice versus rehabilitation is still alive.
