&lt;em&gt;Ordinance on rape a knee-jerk reaction, says activists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Death penalty for rape of girls upto 12 years will deter the victim and their families from reporting such crimes instead of acting as a deterrent for criminals, said activists who slammed the government for its &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk reaction&amp;rdquo; in bringing an ordinance on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In cases of child sexual assaults we know that most of these crimes are committed by people known to them [the victims] or those within the family. Can you imagine anyone coming forward to complain about such crimes knowing that death penalty is the punishment that maybe imposed. Is the government not going to push the crime further underground and disable the victim from coming forward,&amp;rdquo; asked activist and lawyer Vrinda Grover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data for 2016, 94.6% of total crimes against children under the POCSO Act as well as Section 376 are committed by either relatives or acquaintances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ms. Grover said that announcing a harsher penalty such as death may prove to be futile when the conviction rate under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act is as low as 18%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Instead of investing their resources and attention to fixing the gaps in the legal system and creating a more enabling, accessible and sensitive legal system, they are just going to do a gimmick and silence and blunt the national outcry and international criticism. This is a grave crisis and the government has abdicated its responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of women and children,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Ordinance on rape a knee-jerk reaction, says activists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Death penalty for rape of girls upto 12 years will deter the victim and their families from reporting such crimes instead of acting as a deterrent for criminals, said activists who slammed the government for its &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk reaction&amp;rdquo; in bringing an ordinance on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In cases of child sexual assaults we know that most of these crimes are committed by people known to them [the victims] or those within the family. Can you imagine anyone coming forward to complain about such crimes knowing that death penalty is the punishment that maybe imposed. Is the government not going to push the crime further underground and disable the victim from coming forward,&amp;rdquo; asked activist and lawyer Vrinda Grover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data for 2016, 94.6% of total crimes against children under the POCSO Act as well as Section 376 are committed by either relatives or acquaintances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ms. Grover said that announcing a harsher penalty such as death may prove to be futile when the conviction rate under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act is as low as 18%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Instead of investing their resources and attention to fixing the gaps in the legal system and creating a more enabling, accessible and sensitive legal system, they are just going to do a gimmick and silence and blunt the national outcry and international criticism. This is a grave crisis and the government has abdicated its responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of women and children,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Death penalty for rape of girls upto 12 years will deter the victim and their families from reporting such crimes instead of acting as a deterrent for criminals, said activists who slammed the government for its &amp;ldquo;knee-jerk reaction&amp;rdquo; in bringing an ordinance on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;ldquo;In cases of child sexual assaults we know that most of these crimes are committed by people known to them [the victims] or those within the family.

&lt;br /&gt;
As per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data for 2016, 94.6% of total crimes against children under the POCSO Act as well as Section 376 are committed by either relatives or acquaintances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ms. Grover said that announcing a harsher penalty such as death may prove to be futile when the conviction rate under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act is as low as 18%.&lt;br /&gt;

Death penalty will deter reporting: activists

-The Hindu Ordinance on rape a knee-jerk reaction, says activists Death penalty for rape of girls upto 12 years will deter the victim and their families from reporting such crimes instead of acting as a deterrent for criminals, said activists who slammed the government for its “knee-jerk reaction” in bringing an ordinance on the issue. “In cases of child sexual assaults we know that most of these crimes are committed by people known to them [the victims] or those within the family. Can you imagine anyone coming forward to complain about such crimes knowing that death penalty is the punishment that maybe imposed. Is the government not going to push the crime further underground and disable the victim from coming forward,” asked activist and lawyer Vrinda Grover. As per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data for 2016, 94.6% of total crimes against children under the POCSO Act as well as Section 376 are committed by either relatives or acquaintances. Ms. Grover said that announcing a harsher penalty such as death may prove to be futile when the conviction rate under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act is as low as 18%. “Instead of investing their resources and attention to fixing the gaps in the legal system and creating a more enabling, accessible and sensitive legal system, they are just going to do a gimmick and silence and blunt the national outcry and international criticism. This is a grave crisis and the government has abdicated its responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of women and children,” she said. Please click here to read more.
