The present paper attempts to search the causes of rape in India today.
Abstract
The analysis has been made from the holistic perspective; psychological, biosocial, sociocultural, and the socialization approaches have been combined in one to understand the causes. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the causes of rape lie in the psychological makeup, sociocultural scenario oppressive to women, and the socialization of men in such a milieu.
