How much is rape displaced vs reduced, when a potential rapist decides not to target a potential victim? You’re sort of assuming 100% displacement here.
As “blame” goes, of course you jail rapists and support victims and only then collect “what were you wearing?” data for statistical research. “How do my clothing choices influence my likelihood to get raped?” is a rather salient question for many people, and girls at my school certainly avoid some actions they (usually mistakenly) believe increase risk.

Very much worth looking into more, IMO, but I’m not sure I assumed this that explicitly. If you change “to someone else” to “to someone else or not at all” in the last part of the grandparent, it counters the 100%-displacement notion more explicitly, but “K selects for X as targets to do Y” doesn’t necessarily imply displacement.
Nevertheless, it’s something worth distinguishing when trying to do utility estimations.
