Six drunken men were joyriding in a bus last Sunday when they picked up the physiotherapy student and her 28-year-old male companion. They took turns raping her before throwing the pair off the speeding vehicle. During her ordeal, the victim was attacked with an iron rod, causing serious intestinal injuries. Six men have since been arrested. A combination of abusive sexual behavior, a scant fear of the law and India's creaky judicial system encourage such attacks. The number of rape cases in New Delhi has risen by nearly one-fifth to 661 this year from a year ago, according to government figures, the highest among India's big cities.

Favor of Strict laws:

Fear of law: There is no fear of law left in criminals so there is need to make stricter laws in India which will again establish the respect for law in heart and mind of citizens. We need even more fearful laws then capital punishment so criminals think twice before such heinous crimes. Only decent people have any reason to be afraid of the law any more. If there is, in fact, no protection for the law-abiding, then why should we pay taxes for something we do not get? All rich people and politicians long ago began to hire private security men who do the job the police once did, but only for them. Because there is no fear left in criminals for the law. How we can let live such criminals in our society unpunished? Imprisonment in India is not so tough punishment. Length of the imprisonment should be increased for all such crimes. Just keeping criminals on 2 years or so in jail doesnt change much in them. Most of them with political connections come out on bail or again join crime full time after coming out of jail. We need drastic change in our law and order system to establish fear of law can be established between criminals. Starting point of this can be capital punishment for these rapists. They deserve it government should do whatever required to give them such punishment.

Against of Strict laws:

In past 10 years we have executed only 2 people under capital punishment. Even we make such stringent law it wouldnt change much. Rather than death penalty, swift arrest and fast-tracked trial leading to conviction alone can instill fear of law in people and deter commission of crimes, be it against women or in general. Decision to give them capital punishment because it is not the right way to deal a crime with another crime. Capital punishment itself is a judicially assisted murder. Death penalty cannot be a deterrent unless swift and sure delivery of justice can be ensured." In 2011, no investigation was done in 36.6% of recorded instances of rape.

Capital punishment for rapists

Police should get active now and administrators should empower police to act against criminals. There are many cities in our country where politicians first helped criminals to grow. And later they have to empower police to curb those criminals. And police successfully curbed crimes in many cities with political support, so real question of political willingness to curb crimes. If you use criminals, to win elections then you will never wanted to wipe them out. Fast track special courts to deal with sexual crimes, improved justice delivery system and stringent sexual harassment laws. The conviction rate of rape cases has dropped from 46% in 1971 to 26% in 2012.So even death penalty is there no one can confidently say that conviction will really take place.

Conclusion:

Making only stricter laws would not establish the law and order in our country. But in such special cases government should take strict action against guilty and set an example for criminals. We cannot just let go every time by just depending on the existing system. We have to improve our system and empower administration to become a better society. Contributed by: Studyfreak

Capital punishment for rapists

Point: Making a strict law in itself is not a solution to any problem be it a sexual crime or any other.Strict,proper and timely execution of laws is more important.Apart from laws people need to understand the importance of value development among childrens and the youth so that they not only have a criminal/sick mentality but they also have the courage to stand for the truth and fight against all evil and at the same time stop or do not indulg e in any acts that gives birth to a criminal mentality.

Point: one more point i want to add here...every schools now should give the self defence training to the girls..so that they can protect themselves at the time of rape harrasment on that girl even with the facilities given by the government for the girl protection.

Date: 2013-02-04 10:38:05 Added by: ATUL PRAKASH TIWARI

Point: as we know that the imprisonment is only for the 2 years for the rapists..the length of the imprisonment should be increased upto hang till death or taking the whole life of the criminals in jail...so that the criminals will think twice before doing such heinous crimes.

Point: I dont think capital punishment is a solution for these kind of animals but chemical castration or amputating their genital is one. It can surely deter them to even think about these heinous acts.

Date: 2013-01-21 06:51:56 Added by: ajay

Point: yes i am against making only strict laws because strict laws like death penalty can not be given to all crimes because it is also a murder.we should empower our police department if they think city will be free from crime.we should show movies like singhm,dabbang to our police so that there selfrespect nd there duty will be shown to them.

Point: In my point of view castration is the best method to stop the rape and most important fear of law.Govt should make stringent rules to stop the rape cases,so everyone think 100 times before doing this heinous crime.

Date: 2012-12-28 12:38:55 Added by: Gobalakrishnan.M

Point: Most of the criminals having political support. that's only make increase their criminal activities. so, we take survey about who are the politicians having a criminals supports and punish these politicians. so only, we have to cut the connection between criminals and politicians. so, we make a fear to criminals and to decrease the criminals activities.

Date: 2012-12-28 08:19:06 Added by: Arunava

Point: Serving death penalty is not the solution. That will rather encourage rape as well as murder as death penalty theoretically brings rape and murder on the same footing.
