Mapping the Trend of Rapes in Punjab and Haryana
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Incidences of the heinous crime of rape are reported in the media every day. Such news keep pouring in from different parts of India while the current regime of globalization is hailed by many as heralding the age of expansion of freedom and higher rate of economic growth. But the issue is whether with rising economic growth women’s freedom is getting enhanced. There are many studies on rapes in India. But there are fewer studies which provide analysis of trends of rapes at the state and city levels. In view of this, the present paper gives a snapshot of the recent trend of rapes in the two relatively prosperous states, viz. Punjab and Haryana, against the backdrop of the national scenario of incidents of rapes. Analysis in the paper is divided into three parts. First, it briefly touches upon the definition of rape. Secondly, it provides an analysis of the trends of incidences and rate of rapes in Punjab and Haryana in the period 2001-2010 with a comparison with some selected states and the national average rate of rapes. The analysis of rapes is done at two levels, i.e. the state and city levels. Finally, it makes a few concluding observations.
