As Niall said, that's a dangerous attitude to have. Try abolishing human rights laws and let's see what kind of state we put ourselves in then.
Human rights are and should always be an entitlement, not something you earn. That's the kind of world we need to ensure we live in. It's a common misconception that believing in that and striving to aim for it means we advocate certain crimes, justify them or shy away from the problems, but that's totally wrong. You can find a crime disgusting and hope for a suitable punishment, but ensuring the human rights of all involved, are protected is important.

Also rehabilitation very rarely works, also these scumbags know what they're doing is wrong so they should be sentenced to life in prison if the justice system was competent enough.

Old medicines and treatments for illnesses didn't use to work, and then they found a solution. Science is all progress and at some point there will no doubt be ways of solving even more serious problems such as these, if not solving them at least treating them better than we ever could now. To just point blank assume that nothing will ever work, and just simply give up instead of wishing to put time, money and effort into working towards helping these social issues is simply ludicrous if you ask me. And at the end of the day, whether you agree or disagree with it, one day most of these criminals will be released, and so surely it's better for them to have at least tried to be rehabilitated, rather than just given up on? No?
And I take issue with 'knowing what they're doing is wrong'. Most do, not all. Again, it's not a 100% thing.
