| contents | The act of posting a person's private photos or videos without their consent is known as revenge porn, and it is usually done to extort money or seek revenge. According to a 2010 cybercrime survey, about 18.3% of women were unaware that they were victims of revenge porn. In densely populated countries like India, such incidents are more likely, yet there is no specific law addressing revenge porn. This study used purposive sampling with a sample size of 200 unmarried women from Tamil Nadu aged 18 to 30. The survey results show that more than 50% had never heard the term "revenge porn," and only about 5% had personally experienced it. About 40% believed the victim was at fault, while 43.5% were unsure whether pornographic websites should be banned. Around 11% admitted that they might upload explicit content as revenge, and 8.5% felt that due to cultural taboos around sex, society tends to blame the victim. Police officers should be trained in techniques for psychologically supporting victims. India, which ranks third globally in cybercrime, must adopt better preventive measures. Public awareness and targeted legal reforms could play a major role in reducing such crimes. |
