The entity of the problem brings a very big controversy in the way to punish this crime. Through our site we introduce the public to the controversy about the capital punishment for rape in India.

The debate not only is incited by the crowds into the squares, but it also has a big eco in the complex reality of the web.

The factions have widely different opinions, even when they agree on the laws to be applied.
