I think it's better to quantify it and change the question to 'Is it better to include X non-rapists and Y rapists than to exclude X non-rapists and Y rapists.'

'Is it better to include into the set of Uber drivers, 10 non-rapists and 1 rapists or to exclude 10 non-rapists and 1 rapists.'

Probably the latter.

'Is it better to include, into the set of NYC residents, 5 million non-rapists and 3 rapists than to exclude 5 million non-rapists and 3 rapists.'

Probably the former.
