India has just approved promulgation of their Criminal Law to create a national database and profile of sexual offenders.
While it is unclear whether the registry will be public (as it is in the United States) or for law enforcement only (as it is in all other countries that have sex offender registries, such as; Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and Trinidad and Tobago), a registry will be formed, despite acknowledgement that the consensus of most studies and the opinions of international human rights organizations are that registries don’t work.
In addition to the registry, the law was also changed to impose the death penalty for rape of a child under 12.
Since most offenses are committed by someone known to the victim, even a family member, it will be interesting to see how the harsher rules reporting of these instances. They may want the offender punished, but if it is a parent, uncle, cousin, or grandparent, they may not want them to receive death.
That’s going to be one long freaking list!!!!
India is a corrupt shi^hole and the government is taking a page from the United States as they know that the registry is nothing more than a smokescreen to make it appear that they are being tough on crime and make it easier to manipulate the ignorant masses.
India has SOOOOO many more problem than this I don’t even know where to start – I am not at all surprised that they would take this unneeded and proven useless yet easy road.
Also this,

that main photo of the lynch mob is pretty disturbing. The article also posted a tweet from someone with interesting information.
” about 33% of reported cases of rape in India are filed against boyfriend/live-in partners/husband under “Rape on false promise of Marriage. Many of these accused get convicted, later acquitted from higher court “.
I get the feeling that a lot of people ( mostly men ) are going to get hurt or even killed, if it hasn’t already happened.
I just find it so interesting society’s responses to stuff like this. They want to create lynch mobs upon any suspicion of child sex abuse, yet, and I don’t really care what anyone says about the issue, but a mother can KILL, YES KILL, her unborn child that didn’t even get a chance to have life upon no fault of their own, and we in Western civilization APPLAUD her choice to do that. Well she had a choice. She CHOSE to lay down with that guy and get herself pregnant and allow him to take advantage of the situation because SHE didn’t say NO. And now, she wants to get rid of the inconvenient consequence of her actions. (**And yes, I realize that in the case of pregnancy caused by rape that is a difficult circumstance).
In any event, regardless of how a woman becomes pregnant, she is legally allowed to abort (murder) her own child, yet no one raises their displeasure about it in society in general.
So, the moral of the story then is, If you’re lucky enough to make it out of the womb, kid, we’ll protect the hell out of you. But in the 9 months you spend as a fetus in this world, you’re on your own kid. Here’s hoping you have a life-giving mother. I mean, is that not the case?
I am convinced that most societies and certainly all governments are severely screwed up and have become mentally insane. Go ahead and add India to that list as well. Hindus killing Christians in India? Nah, not an issue. Caste system that causes extreme poverty and shanty towns and health issues across the country? No big deal. Crazy religious Hindu nuts bathing in the Ganges river making the water look gray? Nah, no health issue to worry about there. Create a sex offender registry because we need it? Why, of course!
MJ – yeah much to say but won’t – but I do have to point out that no woman can “get herself” pregnant. If we could the possibilities would be endless lol The complete act of sex got her pregnant so both parties are equally responsible. Also, there are many pregnancies that occur from non-consensual sex. Remember men can have sex as many times as they like and there are no consequences. Even if it results in an unwanted pregnancy our society allows them to walk away if they want to. Finally, why is it you assume that it is the woman’s responsibility to prevent pregnancy but then you do not want her to have any control over the outcome of that pregnancy?
OK OK, so abortion really isn’t the point here. The point is, regardless of your opinion on it, it is the termination of a human fetus, and in mine, and a lot of others’ opinions, that constitutes the definition of murder. The termination of a life. Yet people don’t get all up in arms about it the same way they do about child abuse. Both are horrible in my opinion.
**And I don’t think it’s the woman’s responsibility to prevent pregnancy. It is the choice of both individuals. But either one of them can both choose to not put themselves in the situation that would lead to it.
Reporting would depend on if a person wishes death on another person. Reporting could be a vindictive action for anyone on any level.
The other truth is, in India who would want the family breadwinner to die? Meaning, less reporting.
As I understand India, survival is not easy. The poor barter for bread and the rich don’t want to let go of it.
Now we will be outsourcing sex offenders.
WONDERFUL.
