NEW DELHI, July 16 (APD) --To understand the causes of rape and violence against women, Delhi police has issued a tender notice inviting sociologists, psychologists and other researchers to conduct research on the subject.
According to a report published in Hindustan Times, the researchers will interview around 400 to 1200 rape accused and offenders about their profession, age, social background, and find out the circumstances in which they committed rape.
To understand the sociology behind rape, the researchers will also meet rape survivors, their family and acquaintances.
The study will attempt to uncover patterns and trends in rape cases. Psychoanalysis of the accused will also be done.
The police are attempting to understand how important are childhood experiences in determining later actions, and such “mental disturbance.”
The researchers will not be allowed to share the findings of the study with media or other agencies without the permission of the authorities.
An officer informed, “The idea to do this type of study was discussed in a meeting in 2015 with the then top brass and the former lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung.
Firefighting rape can start only after we understand the cause and the problem areas.
We may even make this report public after removing the names of rape survivors and the accused persons.”
“Based on the information gathered through surveys/ interactions with accused/victims/police officials, recommendations stating a solution to the problem are required. It is very useful as it calls people to action based on the evidence that has been gathered and analyzed in the report,” the authorities added.
