Acharya Prashant addresses the recurring issue of sexual assault and crime in society, arguing that common approaches to justice are fundamentally flawed. He identifies three superficial levels of response: blaming the individual offender, blaming the system (police and judiciary), and blaming culture or social attitudes. While each level has some validity, they all share a common defect: they point the finger at others to avoid self-examination. He explains that people often demand instant, brutal punishment for criminals as a way to absolve their own consciences and avoid facing their own complicity in a criminal ecosystem.
