Crimes usually happen due to the combination of:
1. Ability (weapons, hierarchy, opportunity, etc.)
2. Desire (sex, money, love, power, etc.)
3. Justification ("I deserve it, it's right, it's divine, etc.")
(Less often, it can be only #1 or only #1 and #2.)
One way to try and prevent this kind of thing would be to mitigate #2 in this case.
Might legal prostitution, dating assistance, media restrictions (on TV, it seems like sex is all people do), etc. help?
Bonobos have a uber-matriarchal society, so the guys have to just grin and bear it - or the females swoop down on them and beat them up (chewing their man-parts off, etc.). On the other hand, their society is kind of uber-sexual, too, where greetings involve things like "penis-fencing," etc.
