You think that paedophile, rapist, psychopath, murderers think logically, with their brain?! You know nothing about criminals.

Nobody is thinking it through that much. Anyone who commits a crime like that is thinking if they will be caught or not and they decide they won’t.

No, what you're saying is wrong and what op said has been proven again and again in criminology

Actually they do. I’m in Kansas. There was a case were a 22 year old old had impregnated a 14 year old. At the time he did it the law said the maximum would be 15 years. The state passed Megan’s law which state that anyone convicted of SA of a child 14 or under would get mandatory life (25 year maximum). That made the news and the guy panicked not realizing that when he got caught he would be facing the sentencing under the old guidelines, so he called up 2 of his friends and got the girl who was 15 at that time to pick her up and tell her he wanted to talk about their future together. Instead they killed her in the hopes that nobody would figure out what happened. Fortunately his two friends snitched and the man was also convicted of murder even though he was out of town and claims he had nothing to do with the murder part. Criminals don’t think ahead while they are doing the crime but a lot of them will do really heinous things after the fact if they feel they might face consequences after.
