Rape in country continues..who is responsible and what are the deterrents?


The entire country,its citizens,government all are witnessing the fate of that gang rape victim. Agitations,protests,demonstrations and the anger of people can be seen at every nook and corner of the country but is it infusing any fear in the minds of the people who intend to commit such heinous crimes. Even currently when country is on boil regarding this issue there is hardly any affect on these heartless creatures and rape after rape is happening in different regions of the country.
Rape victim suffers but the big question is who is responsible..Police,Government or society? According to me at the topmost level government is responsible..it is the govt which makes laws,why until now there is no law on rape..does few years of imprisonment can act as a deterrent against such crimes? My answer is NO ! until and unless there will be no fear of law in people rape,eve teasing and sexual assaults will continue to happen.The demand of time now calls for the harsh laws so that when already convicted will meet the harshest fate this will serve as the deterrent.Quicker proceedings,fast track courts and the determinate will of the lawmakers is the need of an hour.Secondly,when laws and the subsequent orders by the governments to the police to be more vigilant,responsive and to be sensitive towards victims will prove as the corollary to the furtherance of stringent laws and actions. And,most importantly sensitization at the societal level is required..if we want government and police to be effective in these cases, also needed is an open minded,soft and unprejudiced nature of society towards the victims. It all begins right from the domestic level teach your sons to respect women,teach your daughters to be strong,independent and make them learn to defend themselves,bring a change in your own mindsets that if something untoward occurred with a girl she is not the one who should put to blame.
In conclusion,i would say not just government and police is at the failure somewhere we as the society..we as the people too have failed. The coherence of these three factors can only stop such devil crimes lest everyday..every hour some girl will be dishonoured,victimized and brutally harassed at the hands of some beasts....
