With the rape and murder of the Hyderabad vet, I feel that the public has had enough. Already, there's a report of a mob lynching a rapist and parading him naked. If the government doesn't enforce a law that the average rapist will fear (castration, stoning, etc), I'm afraid people will take matters into their own hands.
But I'm really curious to know what makes a rapist...a child rapist...and a rapist/murderer? Surely they are not human beings. Filthy animals. But how do they become what they become. Whenever I'm out in the public, when I look at men, I always wonder if that one is a child rapist. Or a murderer.
I mean, what leads him to do it? When he sees a 4 year old, doesn't he see a 4 year old? What's sexually attractive about an infant? Does the brain fade that much?
Or what drives him to brutally rape and murder?
Apart from the law, what can we do to prevent it?

Very important question raised , thank you
Patriarchy has long and deep legs, these are the ugliest manifestation. I think the fact that women are existing to please men gives them permission.
Such an important conversation, we need to have more of these

What can we do to prevent it? A question with multiple possible answers..
A "woman" is not a piece of meat.. A "girl child" is not a toy to be played with.. "Consent", a concept so alien to most of the men in this so called beautiful country.. A country with ginourmous potential to be the best in the world and yet what are we known for? RAPE! A rotten action, done by rotten people with absolutely no sense of humanity. YES ,women of this country feel unsafe at ALL times and what can we do about that? The bare minimum. Why?.. Again, a question with multiple possible answers..
Rapes have always been there. It gets now reported and shakes up conscious of civilised world. Only solution is tough law, speedy disposal if cases and high conviction rate. Media is happy reporting a rape and chooses to ignore convictions. We must instill a fear of conviction. Law and it's enforcement is the only civilised way of reducing the heinous crime
Ohmygosh. A few days after I published this, two things happened.
a) Law was taken into own hands by the police (https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/all-4-hyderabad-vet-rape-murder-accused-killed-in-police-encounter-1625670-2019-12-06)
and
b) A woman bravely interviewed 100 convicted rapists and had a few initial observations (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/09/11/a-woman-interviewed-100-convicted-rapists-in-india-this-is-what-she-learned/)
