Genderbased violence is a recurring theme in Bangla crime narratives from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy

Gender-based violence is a pervasive theme that runs through many Bangla crime narratives. The portrayal of violence against women is a recurring motif in these stories, reflecting the social realities and gender dynamics prevalent in Bangladeshi society. These narratives often depict women as victims of various forms of violence, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and honor killings. The depiction of gender-based violence in Bangla crime narratives serves as a reflection of the unequal power dynamics between men and women in society. Women are often depicted as vulnerable and powerless, while men are portrayed as aggressors and perpetrators of violence. This portrayal reinforces traditional gender norms and stereotypes, perpetuating the idea that women are inferior to men and are deserving of punishment. Furthermore, the prevalence of gender-based violence in Bangla crime narratives highlights the issue of impunity and lack of justice for victims of such violence. Often, perpetrators of violence against women go unpunished or receive lenient sentences, sending a message that such behavior is acceptable and will not be met with consequences.
