"The Amish Problem"

Legal Affairs has a truly heartbreaking article on rape and incest in the Amish community.

From a legal standpoint the solution is obvious (more active policing and prosecution of these communities), but from a social one (preserving the traditional lifestyle) the answer is less clear. I need to read more about these kinds of communities before I'll really know what to think, but it is a difficult problem.
