Security of women in India is being continuously challenged by the increasing number of crimes against them. The root cause of these attempts lies in the unequal relationship between man and woman.The traditionally male - dominated Indian society is witnessing its young females breaking barriers and entering the liberal life of pubs, late night parties and drinking etc. that was earlier enjoyed by males only .The discomfort caused in the society by such acts is reflected in the debates about women’s lifestyle that are raised whenever any sexual crime is attempted. Keeping in view this conflict between tradition and modernity and the sensitive nature of such cases, the current paper attempts to explore the mindsets of undergraduate students of media studies in Delhi NCR towards such crimes and towards the victim also. Taking into consideration all the factors that affect opinion of the society, this paper argues that though the budding journalists are challenging the rape myths of good values, dressing style, non-virginity, many of them do not know the basic punishment and proceedings in sex crimes against women. The paper recommends conducting of legal awareness workshops as well as image analysis of institutions like police and hospitalsas maost of the female students view these as insensitive to victims.
