    Four years doesn’t sound like a lot. It’s more than Brock Turner got but seems like he’ll be back out relatively soon and potentially in a position to offend again.

    Four years is a lot by Norwegian standards (even Anders Breivik didn't receive a life sentence), whose system by the way has one of the lowest reoffending rates in the world.

    Interesting read. Four years is a bad DUI or burglary in the states. Rapists usually get 10-20 years due to the violent nature of the crime.

    The difference is that USA uses incarcerated as slave labour, while Norway gives them help to make sure their behavior actually changes. If incarcerated changed their ways in USA, a lot of people would lose a lot of money.
