International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 11, November-2013 641 ISSN 2229-5518 VULNERABLE CONDITION OF WOMEN IN SOUTH 24 PARGANAS DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL Supratim Karmakar ABSTRACT: This article provides an overall picture of crimes committed against women in the district of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. The rate of crime against women is quite startling in South 24 Parganas district in comparison to other districts of West Bengal. The paper intends to reveal the impact of illiteracy, poverty and societal customs upon the increasing rate of crimes against women in this district. By using official crime data, we analyzed general crime trend and characteristics of crimes and also highlighted the crime control practices. The seriousness of crime problems in South 24 Parganas is also examined from a comparative perspective by engaging in a inter district comparison. The findings of the paper indicate that crime against women in South 24 Parganas is present in various forms and the preventive measures of crimes are not satisfactory. KEY WORDS: Post marital violence, Rape, Molestation, Dowry death, Sexual harassment, Domestic violence, Crime control. 1. INTRODUCTION: THE issue of theIJSER status of the women in society has been a matter of intense scrutiny and debate all over the world. This is equally true of India as well as West Bengal, an essentially patriarchal society, where the goal of equality between men and women is actually guaranteed by the country’s constitution. Women are said to be the better half of the society and supposed to enjoy all privileges and comforts, at par with men.

Present study is concerned with the level of urbanization based on four selected urbanity and socio-economic indicators and consistency measurement in S. 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India. Hence, different statistical, cartographic and GIS methods have been used to fulfil the aim and objectives. This study reveals that the study area is a highly urbanised district both in terms of growth of urban population and urban centres but in sense of share of urban population it stands much bellow the state average. It also reveals that there is huge intra spatial disparity in the level of urbanization and the consistency of the urbanization in the study area. Keywords: urbanization; level of urbanization; spatial disparity; consistency; GIS. Introduction: Urbanization is the proportion of urban population to the total population of any area.
