No one is born a murderer or a rapist. So what is it that creates the mindset to sexually assault women and children of any age? Are women more likely to be raped and murdered? What is the relationship between pornography and drug abuse? What does it mean to look at women? How much is the society and the family system responsible for such crimes? Many studies and researches have taken place in this issue. Based on this, this article is a serious warning to take immediate strict measures on these issues.

In the wake of rising sexual crimes against women and children across the country, there have been intense protests in the last few days demanding stricter punishment for rapists and stricter laws. The state government has also issued a circular and ordered all educational institutions to install CCTVs, but there is no discussion on this important issue. What is the mentality of men who abuse women and children of any age? How it happens When a woman is raped, where does the cruelty of ending her forever come from? A man is not born a criminal, nor is he a rapist. So what happens when a man commits an unforgivable crime? This is an attempt to address these issues.

Since the advent of smartphones in the last decade, 'pornographic content' has become available in abundance at a click. Is there a direct link between pornography and sexual assault? Psychologist Dr. Meenu Bhosale says, "If there is a habit of watching 'porn' continuously, then the rate of artificial sexual arousal increases and it becomes addictive in a few days. Neuroplastic changes in the brain play a major role in porn addiction. Changes in brain activity can quickly lead to changes in behavior. " This is how women are portrayed in porn. Also, no matter how much sex against the mind, violent behavior, the woman on the screen feels happy. In short, women like to be forced, like to be tormented, it strikes the mind of the men watching. Sex therapist and gynecologist Dr. Neelima Deshpande says, "Like any other addiction, 'porn' also has to be increased gradually to get the pleasure of that addiction. In a nutshell, watching any 'pornographic clip' initially releases the dopamine hormone in the brain. But it doesn't go away until you see more aggressive, violent 'porn'. The mindset of the person watching porn is slowly changing. He didn't realize that porn wasn't real. This can lead to sex crimes in real life. "

The clinical psychologist Dr. Rajat Mitra conducted a psychological study in Tihar Jail between 2000 and 2005, interviewing hundreds of inmates who were jailed for rape. He gave an interview to the New York Times a few years ago. In it, he had mentioned that the nature of the sexual crime committed by each prisoner, the violence in it was different, but they had a common thread. None of them were willing to admit they had committed a crime. Because even if they were in jail, they believed that they would get out of it by doing some 'settlement'. Another similarity between these criminals is that no one has ever regretted what they have done. Even those who were convicted and sentenced believed that they would still get out. These findings are truly shocking. It seems that the reality is also responsible for this mentality of the criminals.

The issue of violence against women in crimes such as rape is also discussed. Speaking to Dr. Meenu says, "There is a culture of supporting violence in all sections of society. A child looks at his parents at home. At night, she heard her mother crying in her room. Even though the door is closed, the father is forced. But the next morning, nothing happened. She happily hands over the tea to her father. This is how they want to behave with girls and women. Therefore, if you want to prevent sexual crimes, you will not be able to do so only through strict laws. There should be a concerted effort in society and in the family to change the behaviour that supports violence. " In 2015, research was conducted in the United States on whether the criminal mentality to support rape crimes is also increasing. "The study, titled" "Sexual assault perpetrators justifications for their actions: Relationships to rape supportive attitudes, incident characteristics and future perpetration," "cited previous research." For example. When women say 'no', they actually want to suggest 'yes'. Alcoholic women will be raped when they go alone with a stranger, if a woman tries, she can stop the rape from happening, but she does not do it, etc. While these findings may be overblown by previous research, they have also been confirmed in a recent survey of American college students. As many as 63 per cent of the students in the survey said that it is okay if a girl comes along for a walk and forces her to have sex. As many as 41 per cent of the students said that if a girl is raped while under the influence of alcohol, she is equally responsible for the incident.

Alcohol and drug abuse are on the rise. Are these serious addictions also leading to increased sexual crimes? Psychiatrist Dr. Anuja Kelkar Tulankar says, "The consumption of ganja has also increased. Cannabis and other drugs have a direct effect on the brain. This can lead to various confusions. There can be various reasons behind rape, such as lack of respect for women, having some old anger in mind, giving it to another person because he is suffering from something, getting pleasure in tormenting others. When a person is under the influence of intoxicants, the intensity of these thoughts in the mind can increase and a crime can be committed. " If we really want to reduce the number of rapes, then the government will no longer be able to do it just by putting a blanket. The policy of turning to the broader subject of sexuality, sexuality education, is no longer affordable. It is necessary to detect the criminal mindset of rapists, increase research in this regard, and take preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of crime. Otherwise, the law and order situation will deteriorate further. 'Pedophilic 'kids The country's first major project on pedophilia, the 'Programme for Primary Prevention against Sexual Violence', was launched at the KEM Hospital Research Centre in Pune in 2015 with the aim of reducing the rate of child sexual abuse in the country. Pedophilia is a mental illness in which adults, especially men, are sexually attracted to children. Sexologist, psychiatrist in Germany. Dr. Klaus Bayer has been running this project in Germany for 15 years. The project was started in Pune.

KEM Hospital Research Centre Speaking about the project, Laila Garda said, "People with pedophilia (a psychiatric disorder) are more likely to commit repeated sexual offences. So through this initiative, we are looking at prevention of child sexual abuse. Providing treatment to one pedophilic can potentially save the lives of up to ten children who are victims of his abuse. Actually, it's a tricky subject. Sex work is still difficult in our society. But there is a positive response from the people. Although the number of such patients receiving direct treatment is still low, efforts will be made to make them aware in the coming days. As it is not possible for patients outside Pune to come and get treatment in person, a 'chat forum' will be started soon to provide therapy through chatting. " "Not every perpetrator of child abuse is pedophilic, but 40 per cent of perpetrators can be," said Varsha Chola, senior social scientist at the project. Also in this center adults who have erotic thoughts about children are treated. He clarified that criminals who have committed any actual crime or are in jail are not treated. So far, 475 persons have enquired on the helpline launched under this project. In addition, a 'self-help management tool' has been developed for pedophilic individuals named 'Trouble Desire'. The portal, which is available in six Indian languages including Marathi, Hindi and English, has so far been visited by eight and a half thousand people across the country.

The exact proportion of paedophilic individuals in society is not known, said psychiatrist Dr. Vasudev Parlikar said, "Generally, when a person enters adolescence, he realizes that he is a pedophilic. Almost everyone is attracted to someone of the opposite sex or the same sex. But even at the age of 18 or 20, if we realize that we like a 12-year-old girl or boy, then such a person can be pedophilic. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychotherapies are used. In addition to receiving treatment, patients are trained to stay away from the mohawk for life. These individuals should avoid certain occupations such as being a sports teacher, swimming coach, van driver at school or other places. Being a pedophile is not a crime, it's a disease. Although it can't be cured, it can be controlled. But if a crime is committed because of pedophilia, then there is no exemption from the law. "
