Abstract

Abstract This paper argues that gay dating platform-facilitated crimes and abuses in India are produced and perpetuated by structural queerphobia and sex-negativity in Indian society. We illustrate how sex-negativity and queerphobia are embedded in Indian families, neighborhoods, criminal law, and the criminal justice system, which help produce/exacerbate these crimes. We offer some recommendations as to how these can be changed and posit that future empirical studies should focus on reforming societal structures producing/exacerbating these crimes. We also suggest that framing safe dating advice in a more sex-positive light will reduce self-blame and better address these issues. Overall, we contend that a sex-positive queer-criminological theoretical lens will offer more effective approaches on which to base preventative measures and assist in supporting those experiencing such crimes.

印度的同性恋约会平台、犯罪和危害:研究和理论的新方向

摘要本文认为，印度的同性恋交友平台促成的犯罪和虐待是由印度社会的结构性酷儿恐惧症和性消极性产生和延续的。我们说明了性消极性和酷儿恐惧症是如何在印度家庭、社区、刑法和刑事司法系统中根深蒂固的，这些都有助于产生/加剧这些犯罪。我们就如何改变这些问题提出了一些建议，并假设未来的实证研究应侧重于改革产生/加剧这些犯罪的社会结构。我们还建议，从更积极的角度来构建安全的约会建议，可以减少自责，更好地解决这些问题。总的来说，我们认为，性行为积极的酷儿犯罪学理论视角将提供更有效的方法，在此基础上采取预防措施，并帮助支持那些遭受此类犯罪的人。
