Abstract :
Even after unprecedented rise in feminism, human rights and education, the 21st century witnessed a wide rise in sexual violence across the globe in many forms. This raises question over the popular narration of patriarchy as the single biggest reason behind sexual violence; the issue requires deeper linking of criminology and psychology to under not just the crime i.e. sexual violence but also the person committing the crime. The popular narrative of patriarchy although still holds valid ground, but a more specific and psychological reasons for sexual violence is required to understand the rise of sexual violence in-spite of positive development in many spheres of human society. This paper attempts to analyze few characteristics of sexual offence convicts which can be termed as the internal motive of such convicts for committing the crime of sexual violence.
