I’ve suggested this before… the consequences, in case of abuse, are mind-staggering. But, on the other hand, would prevention of a single murder/rape/severe beating of an innocent not enough reason to be completely behind this program, while being extra careful in preventing abuse of the system?
Another way to combat this is to make sure all people (girls especially) should be profecient in self-defense by the time they reach maturity. In fact, I really gotta wonder why this is not part of the public-school curriculum.
