Abstract
Abstract: Sex crime is a statutory offence that is caused to another person to engage in an unwanted sexual act by force or threat. Now a days’ sex crime is on the rise. Sexual harassment, molestation and rape of women are common in India. Many of these crimes are being committed by relatives and close acquaintances of the victim. Sex crimes against people with psychiatric disability are also being reported. In the cases brought for examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, we have observed a notable variability in sex crime rate between different socioeconomic status and demographic profile. We have done a retrospective study on these cases of the last six months where we have tried to evaluate the influence of age, educational qualification and occupation on sex crime. This knowledge may help prevent such incidents to some extent. Keywords:Sex crime, sexual harassment, molestation, rape, psychiatric disability.
