Abstract Most of us fail to comprehend why somebody would be interested in undertaking homosexual activity. In the present study, we tried to conclude some causes of such altered type of sexual behavior. The present study was conducted retrogressively on 32 cases of sodomy lodged in various police stations of Amritsar and Patiala over last 10 years, to derive some criteria, which forced the accused to adopt such behavior. In 45.65% of cases, the accused was illiterate, in 63.04% poor, in 32.61% in the age group15-20yrs. So, illiteracy, poor socioeconomic status and ignorance about the law may be considered as some of the factors which encouraged the accused to commit such crime. In all cases, the victim and the accused were known to each other to a variable extent indicating that the victim falls prey to the accused because he was not aware of his intentions. Top Keywords Homosexuality, illiteracy, poverty, sexual perversion. Top |
