What we do in the UK is rely on something called the police and something called forensic science.... particularly DNA profiling.

For a criminal in the UK breaking into an occupied home, or partaking in stranger rape or murder is a very high risk occupation, as the police take these crimes very seriously, will collect DNA and will expend serious effort into catching you. Its very hard to acrry out any of these crimes without leaving DNA around and unless you can be sure that you or any of your relatives have not and will not for the rest of your life end up on our dna database... this alone will have the police crawling up your arse.

Ah, "unarmed..." means the homeowner has NO gun! Duh!

I'm sure that most of the victims would much rather have the rapes and murders prevented (even if it meant killing the attacker), as opposed to knowing "the police take these crimes very seriously" after the fact.

Strange mentality.

Remember the young soldier getting hacked to death while on-lookers called the police? Wouldn't it had been a better outcome, if the soldier or one of the by-standers pulled out a gun and wasted one or both of the attackers before they succeeded in killing the soldier?
