The Indian Journal of Social WorkSummary: Deep-rooted gendered beliefs and labels that develop cognitively to form gender stereotypes, roles, and ideas around ‘masculinity’ are transmitted through the family. While there is ample literature in the West on masculinity and its link with sexual offences committed by children in conflict with the law, scholarship on masculinity in India is still developing. The author uses masculinity as a lens to focus on boys/men as gendered subjects, who although privileged, are also victims of the same patriarchal
structure. This paper presents the findings of an exploratory study on the role of the family in fostering gendered roles and toxic masculinity among male children in conflict with the law committing sexual offences, presently in the juvenile justice system. – Reproduced
