Abstract
The Tamil Nadu assembly recently passed two Bills to amend the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 1998, as well as the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
These Bills, moved by chief minister M.K. Stalin and assented to by the governor last week, introduce more stringent punishments for sexual offences and address various forms of harassment, including those occurring on digital platforms.
While these amendments represent a significant step forward, their effectiveness can be analysed through established criminological theories and empirical evidence from similar initiatives worldwide.
