Theoretical Perspectives on a Murder Case in Kerala, India: A Criminological Analysis

Author(s) Dr Vinod Kumar P N, Abdul Rasak T
Country India
Abstract This study explores the tragic Soumya murder case, a horrific crime that took place on February 1, 2011, aboard a passenger train in Kerala. Utilizing criminological theories such as Routine Activity Theory, Situational Crime Prevention, and Reintegrative Shaming Theory, the research investigates the socio-economic and cultural factors that contributed to the incident. It
examines the victim's vulnerabilities, systemic shortcomings that enabled the crime, and the behavioral profile of the accused, a repeat offender with a lengthy criminal record. The study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive crime prevention strategies, including improved security measures, rehabilitation initiatives, and gender-sensitive policies, to address systemic challenges and curb violence against women. Additionally, it highlights the crucial role of public
awareness, community involvement, and robust legal frameworks in creating a safer and more just society.
Keywords Soumya murder case, criminological theories, Situational Crime Prevention, Reintegrative Shaming Theory, gender-sensitive policies, violence against women, public safety, habitual offender, systemic failures.
