Crime Against Women
Crime against women has been on increase. It has existed in the past in almost all countries, regions, cultures and communities. The crime has much to do with the existing low status of women prevalent in our society. The violence is at various levels. It is at physical, mental, emotional, domestic and public. They are the most oppressed, subjugated section of society. Though various measures at education, economic independence have been taken but they are far from improving their status which directly or indirectly help at increasing crime against women.

Aggression, violence and crime against women who comprise about 48-49 percent of the population is not a matter of joke. I have devoted two separate chapters to gender discrimination and violence against women in view of the importance of the problem. Gender discrimination, violence and crime against women are all interrelated and overlap with each other.
In fact, one leads to the other. Though literally crime and violence are different, the difference is very subtle. Literally, violence means unlawful exercise of force/physical force while crime is a wicked act punishable by law.
Crime is an offence. Crime is an antisocial act. It can be both organised and unorganized, while violence is usually unorganized and occurs more at the spur of the moment. However, crime and violence are used interchangeably by the common man because of the subtle difference between the two.
Gender discrimination, crime and violence all are the outcome of hostility and aggression against men. Biologically as well as socially men are more aggressive and dominant than females, females being considered (though not really) as a weaker section of the society. So they become the targets of discrimination, violence and crime by the most powerful class of the society, the man.
The seriousness and frequency of violence and crime against women is well evident when the pages of daily news papers are turned, when the television is viewed. Daily hundreds of cases of murder, rape, molestation, sexual abuse and eve-teasing, forcing women to prostitution etc. are reported by media. Even important T.V. channels have also started showing real cases of crime against women.
A young married woman of Faridabad was burnt to death because of dowry. A young girl in her early teens belonging to a very poor family was murdered by a group of criminals because her father objected to Mk! obscene advances of the gang towards the girl.
Numerous such instances could be quoted which happen every day. Some of these are recorded and probably most of them go unrecorded because of fear and family prestige.
is it due to jealously, possessiveness or hostility as love and hate go together? We will come to be causes later on. Reports about crimes in “Crime in India” and other sociological, criminological journals do indicate the seriousness of the problem.
