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.

Don't you mean "poor rapists"?

Punishments on the books and punishments actually given are rarely similar in the US. Rapists absolutely do not usually get 10-20 here.
