Need to be curbed with an iron hand. Need a reappraisal of the entire system, the adequacy of our laws, the effectiveness of enforcement at the cutting edge level, Increased awareness and sensitivity starting at the school level and conveying all people residing at the margins of our society. Prompt actions against all the offenders of crime will alone bring about respect of law.
