Julian B. Roebuck, Komanduri S. Murty
Race, Gender & Class·2016
The specific objectives of this study are to: 1) render an empirical definition of rape and sexual assault, and assess the statistical extent of these phenomena available on and off U.S. campuses; (2) specify the characteristics of rape and sexual assault victims and those of their perpetrators, when available; (3) examine the different forms of these offenses; (4) note societal reactions to these sexual offenses; (5) analyze the adjudications of campus tribunals that had tried male students charged with these offenses; and, (6) assess the social class, race, and age of those convicted of rapes or sexual assaults by campus tribunals we served on and that of their victims. These objectives are met through and by a critical analysis of the research literature on rape and sexual assault; and, an assessment of age, gender, race, social class, and motivations of those convicted of campus rape and sexual assault. Certainly, a larger study with greater statistical evidence is needed to make any broad generalizations. Findings of this study may lead to such endeavors in future research.

SHIVANI SATIJA, AMRITA DATTA
Economic and Political Weekly·2015
This paper analyses crime against women and children in Delhi based on two data sources, the National Crime Records Bureau and an empirical data set of the Perceptions Survey of the Delhi Human Development Report, 2013. Using the NCRB data, the paper analyses trends in the rate and composition of crime against women and children from 2004–2006 to 2010–2012, including charge sheets and convictions. Results from the Perceptions Survey highlight the spatial nature of crime in the state, the differential experience of crime by social groups, as well as men and women. A key finding is the high vulnerability of children to crime in the city. What emerges from the comparison of secondary and primary data is the simultaneous existence of incidence of crime on the one hand and perception of crime and violence on the other. A combination of various data sources is important to capture both incidence and perception in order to gain a more holistic and in-depth understanding of crime and violence, a vastly under-researched topic in the social sciences.

Tanni Chaudhuri, Arindam Mandal
International Review of Modern Sociology·2017
Recently India has experienced an upsurge in sexual violence against women. Many of the victims/survivors whose accounts have made it into the headlines are from less privileged or upwardly mobile segments of Indian society. We take a different approach to make sense of the trend by examining the potential linkages between recent socio-economic changes and rising violence against women, with particular emphasis on rape. This paper reflects upon women's social standing within the context of economic changes and explores empincal trends pertaining to crimes against women. In the end we try to hung our theoretical and statistical considerations together to reflect upon the reasons for India's recent rise in crimes against women.

Chandan Mukherjee, Preet Rustagi, N. Krishnaji
Economic and Political Weekly·2001
Data on crime in India are published annually by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). These are compiled from records of police stations all over the country and refer to reported and registered crime. For recent years the data cover crimes against women in some detail, disaggregated to the district level. Reporting of crime tends to be incomplete; so the data are prima facie suspect. Nevertheless, they may be useful in studying regional variations, considering that underreporting is a universal feature. Social scientists have neglected the study of crime despite its increasing presence in our daily lives. This paper is an attempt to see what official, published data reveal, whether there are clear-cut regional patterns and if so whether they can lead to meaningful hypotheses for future work.

View paper →Theorising Patriarchy: The Bangladesh Context
Farah Deeba Chowdhury
Asian Journal of Social Science·2009
In Bangladesh, men dominate, oppress and exploit women through private and public patriarchy. Private patriarchy is maintained in the family through the misinterpretation of religion and the non-recognition of unpaid work done by women at home. In the family women are considered as passive dependants and property of their husbands. Women are also excluded from economic and political power through public patriarchy. In the public arena women are only considered as sexual objects and patriarchy is maintained through sexual harassment. Capital accumulation further strengthens patriarchy in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, men's attitudes towards women are shaped by advertisements, films, beauty contests and pornography where women are used as sexual objects to accumulate capital. Increasingly, men have started to use the dowry system for capital accumulation. Thus men in Bangladesh accumulate capital through private and public patriarchy.
