Abstract

This chapter deems to highlight the criminology, state of mind and the conditions which involves and interferes when a man thinks of honor killing as a problem which he may seem unfit to the society, at large. Furthermore, it will highlight who are involved in such crimes and how does such mindset get developed and carry forward to the coming generations. This chapter will further inquire about the stand of women so far as contributing to this mentality. Thus, making such crimes unpredictable and also raising a question upon human race and its psyche. The chapter will throw light upon the criminalization of young minds and how the crime is normalised in the society, in addition to, discussing the concentration of social power in the hands of few which eventually leads to their dominance and autonomy in re-writing the societal rulebook.
