By race, I assume you mean species?
I don't think evolutionary change should be about smarts. It has to do with who manages to perpetuate their genes and who doesn't. I don't think you can tell people who have a capacity for rape that they should be smart and stop having sex for the common good. Or, you can tell them, but they won't listen. They don't have sex for the human species, they do it for themselves .. and that goes for all of us, I think.
The only immediate "smart" way I could think of waging an evolutionary war on rape would be to enforce a policy where women who have gotten pregnant from rape get abortions. I'm sure the idea would make many here wince.
