Abstract: This paper provides an in-depth examination of 47 articles involving sexual assault, rape, gang rape, murder, and other forms of violence, with a focus on the demographic factors such as the age, relationship to the perpetrator, education, occupation, geographic location, and the nature of the crime. The articles, drawn from The Times of India e-Paper between October and December 2023, offer a detailed insight into the frequency and diverse nature of crimes committed against women and children. This study looks at crimes involving women and children, focusing on different areas like the age groups of victims (minors, young adults, and middle-aged women), their relationships with the offenders, types of crimes, and the impact of education, jobs, and location. It finds that crimes happen across all age groups, education levels, and places, with many offenders being people the victims know, like family members or acquaintances. It highlights the urgent need for changes, especially in education and rural areas, to better protect women and children.
