ABSTRACT

The issue of offences against women has always been a concern within our culture. Throughout history, societies have been faced with the issue of ensuring the safety and well-being of women, requiring the development of new rules and regulations. Several changes have been implemented in current legislation, alongside the introduction of advanced technologies, with the aim of reducing acts committed against women. Over the years, there have been instances of heinous crimes committed against women, such as the famous Nirbhaya case. This particular incident has compelled us to critically review the effectiveness of trial and legal procedures. Currently, many forensic techniques, new police methods, and the implementation of fast-track courts are being employed. However, there is not enough of data indicating a decrease in the incidence of crimes against women. This article seeks to examine the factors contributing to the rise in crime rates targeting women.
