In this article, we digup into psychological and social factors that shap the mindset of rapist, we aim to uncover,beliefs that contribute to such actions.Also we discuss on how we can intervening in such cases.

Real world example, the Bangal case:-

The recent rape case in Bangal, where a doctor was assulted by a group of men. The brutal case not only brings to light, of severity of sexual violence but also emphasizes the importance of exploring which factors drives such behavior. By knowing these factors we can develope strategies to prevent and address sexual violence 

now we discuss about  what is the mindset of a rapiest and what the factors which help to them to get such mindset.

1. psychological traits:-

Entitlement and power-

the offenders(rapiest) often feel a sence of entitlement and control others. It comes from their enviroment. They live in a such places where, they have rights to control ohers and with the time it become their habite and develope a sense of entitlement and control others.

Lack of empathy- 

All offenders have a lack ofempathy by  which it make difficult for them to understand or care about the harm they give to other. 

this lack of empathy may comes from their cultural conditions, their surronding or psychological disorder.

disorted Beliefs- 

Offnders have erronious belief  about genders role and sexualty 

for example- some rapist may believe that men should be aggressive  and dominant, women should be submissive,and soft hearted,  this lead them to justify thier actions

Also they see thier victims as object rather then as human being. This makes it easier for them to commit of violence wihout feeling empathy.

2. behavior patterns:- 

Rationalization-

rationalization is a psychological defence mechanism, which justify that, their action is less harmfull or acceptable.

some ratonalization are given below-

a.] Denial of harm- 

some rapiest are deny that their action was  harmful at all. They think that the victims need it and also enjoyed it. They only try to help them by do this. And some are think that,' she did't resist as much' so she want to do at all. hence they think it is less harmful and they both enjoyed it. Even victim was so scared to resist. 

b.]   Caltural and Social justification:- 

As we talk before some offenders thinks that men should be  aggressive and dominent. So, they must have to show their aggresion to prove their mesculaty. they think that everyone do that to show their mesculaty  hence it is not a big deal.These cultural justification make sure  they do a harmless  and neural duty.

c.]   Deflection of responcibilities-

Some time, offenders blame external factors to do that. Like alcohal. drog or mental healt. They simply pretneted that,' I was drunk' and don't know how this is happen. Or my friends provoke me to do this. I have no intensions to do this. By these deflections they want to avoid take responsibility to what they do.

3.  Justifications:-

Often rapiest justifies their act by convincing themselves the act they do is completly acceptable and deserved. they make excuses like victim wants it.  She wear short dress her body language and her past sexual behavior are forced them to do this. They are only fulfill her desires. 

4. nomalisation of sexual violence:- 

nowdays, it is treate normal to sexual violence. And people connected it to the modernisation. For instant, movie, social media and advertisiment may dispect sexual aggression as a normal. in these movies or advertisments woman show as a object who is only for there personal pleasures. In some webseries or movies men attempt to rape and in these movies woman convince so easily and find plesure to do that. So it create a mindset that woman easily convince and like to do so.

these kind of movie, advertisment and influancers create a dark image of women in indivduals and trigger them to do same.

5. witnessing domestic violence :-

childern who grow up by seeing domestic voilence, aggressive behavior between thier parents and family members such as physical assult , verbal abuse or other forms os violence. They thought violence and aggressive behaivor are accepatable expacially boys learn to mimic these behaviors. they create a mindset that aggression and violence is the part of mesculaty 

so by these point we try to understand what is the mindset of a rapiest like they treat woman like a object. they blame thier victims what happen to them and justify them by thier argument like she want it, she wear short dress to attract, or her past is full of sexual activities.

we also understand how society help them make this kind of mindset like cultural rules, social media, normalisation of sexual voilence or their enviroment in which they live. All these factors help him to create this kind of mindset.

now we are discuss how we can cintribute to stop these kind of rape cases-

prevention and intervention:-

it refer to the stategies and action tken to prevent sexual violence.

1. Education and Awareness program-

Education program which can held in school and teaching the concept of consent and respect in a healthy relationship.Also teach them about relationship boundries, and importance of mutual respect.

teaching childern from a young age that 'no mens no'. Everyone have thier own sense and if they don't want anything to do then stop your aspirations.

2. challenging rape mythe :- 

preventions of rape myth is also so important such as victim are blame for what happen to them on basis of their behavior and clothes. By educating people about reality of rape and harm caused by these myth. How these myth help rapist to cover there disgusting crime.

3. community base prevention programs:-

These program are specially target men and boy's thinking towords woman and girls. Like they no need be aggressive and harsh for showing thier mescullinity. In the infulance of social media don't judge woman and girls and never objectify them for their own pelusure. These programs can change the mentelty of boys and men towords women and girl, which they create on the basis of movies and social media.

4. strong laws and punishment:-

there should be strong legel laws and punishment for sexual violence. Laws must be clear and penalties should be server enough to act this disgusting crime. Ensuring that rapist have such punishment that create fear in other people who have this kind of  mindset and never try to do this kind of crime.

5. Encouraging reporting:-

Often times it is saw that, victims have fear of society to show  they are  victim of a sexual violence. So, victim don't reavel what happen to them, and this give more  courage to rapist. Hence, there will be start some campaign that encourage victims to report assult. These campaign can reduce the stigma of being a victim of sexual voilence. by these campaign more such cases bring in light.

now we know many things about the mindset of a rapist, like how they treate women as a object,they have lack of empathy. and have many misconception about mescullinty, and they have no fear about what happen after that.

we also understand how society and social media envolve in creation of a mindset of a rapiest, like different kinds of advertisment which objectify woman, domestic voilence, and cultural rules like man should be aggresive and harse etc

after that we discuss on some preventions which can help us to create such enviroment in which woman and girls have not such kind of fear being a victim.
