The Speaking Pork Trotter
"if someone commits a crime such as a robbery, murder or even a more serious offense- rape." this is backwards.
To know which one is more serious actually depend on the victim train of thought and personalities. Say, if the rape victim was someone who devoted or at least obidience to religion, no doubt he/she will broke (by having stress, and feeling haunted, also the shame he/she brought and feel to/in he/her community), with less chance of recovery, unless their devotion is so high or the supporting community, that they can fix theirself. If not, the victim will probably feel ashamed and haunted, and in serious case, prefer to be dead or we can say doing suicide. This will be different if the rape victim was people who consider s*x is an act that doesnt need much thought to do (u get the idea). They will easily recovered, and even in a couple of month start to actively doing s*x. They will be more terrified to death than raped. But that doesnt count in the face of law, as an act of forcefully taken people life are more serious than act of forcefully taken people pride and dignity.
