How this crime can be remedies?

This problem cannot be solved overnight. First of all law and order situation of the country should be improved. Law enforcing authorities should always be on the alert. The criminals should be sternly dealt with. Exemplary punishment should be inflicted on the criminals. All government has already formulated a law of capital punishment for the acid throwers. Judicial system regarding the punishment of the criminals should be prompt because there goes a proverb that "Justice delayed justice denied". More law and enforcing authorities should be employed at important points. If they are provided with suitable jobs, many of them will give up this hateful criminal activities. Moreover, people of all walks of life should come forward to develop their morality.

Besides, understanding the psychology of an acid thrower is important to prevent this crime. An acid thrower should be made to realize that he himself can be victim of acid violence and in that case his own life would be unbearable to himself. Again he should be made to realize that by throwing acid, he takes some revenge or satisfies personal anger but destroys a life, and brings suffering and woes to whole family. So psychological motivation is necessary to curb acid crime. Also availability of acid must be removed.

Moreover, good parenting and family control is necessary to prevent it socially. The acid criminal should be boycotted socially and brought to exemplary Mass media can raise awareness among people about the horror and consequence of acid crime. The survivors should be rehabilitated and treated with love and sympathy. Social vigilance and familial watch can prevent this crime to a great extent.

However, acid throwing is a social crime, and a social co orindated efforts can curb the crimes as well as rehabilitate the victims. Guardians, parents and influential persons can play important roles in solving the feuds and quarrels before the incident actually happens.
