Abstract

Though multifarious view exists in the area of rape and allied crimes, these studies dispersed in the nature and need a holistic integration to delve deeper into the causes and consequences of rape. The present study, which is based on the root cause analysis, intends only to integrate diverse perspectives but also envisage a new lens of inquiry which has multi-dimensional explanation for the incident of rape. This paper also analyzed and explained the belief of the victim, the protestors and the criminals who are involved in the crime using psychological theories. It has also made recommendations for mitigating rape with a view of eradicating the crime.
