ABSTRACT:
This paper attempts to understand the mindset of a rapist. It is one of the most heinous crimes, and its impact on the victim is extremely deep rooted and difficult to treat. There are several types of rapists who have different reasons for committing such crimes. Researchers have emphasised on remedial measures that could be adopted such that one can reduce the number of such incidents. There have been increasing numbers of research studies, in recent times, as all citizens are deeply concerned with increasing numbers of rapes that are occurring. The paper concludes with a serious attempt to recognise the symptoms of crime at an early age, which could be effectively treated in the hope that it would result in the reduction of such monstrous episodes.
