AIDS and crime rates are often treated in isolation from each other. This study, indicates whether HIV prevalence could influence crime rates, employs an interdisciplinary model of crime to fit the complex socio-demographic context, it is evidently proved that HIV prevalence is positively correlated with some types of monetary/property-related crimes. This study also assesses some of the behavioral mechanisms that could drive this positive relationship between AIDS and crime. It is assumed that those infected with HIV are also more likely to engage in other risky behaviors such as illegal drug use, trafficking and other illegal activities because their reduced life expectancy leads them to discount the future. Evidence shows that HIV/AIDS crowding-out police/law enforcement expenditure in favor of other government agency spending for the study period.Keywords

Drug has always been the cause of disease. Lots of psychological and physical consequences as well social taboos are associated with the person who ever use drugs. The study sheds light on the effect of drug on HIV infection which is highly correlated with injecting the drugs for any intoxication. The injecting route of drug is one of the major routes of HIV transmission. Moreover, the study also reveals the dynamic pattern of drug uses among the young generations. The drug which was previously used in western countries is now consumed frequently in India. Many youngsters are wasting their lives by getting caught in swamp of drugs as well being infected with HIV virus.Keywords

This study aimed to determine self-esteem's (SE) impact on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of female adolescents aged 14 to 21 years in different schools and Anganwadi centers of Sewapuri block of Varanasi district (U.P). The study followed a long-term pre and post-intervention research design. The research instruments were the Hindi version of the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory and a self-prepared regionally sensitive SRH survey. The pre-intervention survey was conducted for 510 participants. The average score on the SE scale and SRH was 54.07 (out of 96) and 79.17 (out of 105), respectively. Regression analysis showed that SE scores significantly predicted the participants' SRH scores. Age showed an inverse relationship with SE and SRH. SE and SRH were higher for unmarried and enrolled participants. A practice-based intervention consisting of 10 self-esteem modules was delivered to 70 female adolescents in phase I. The surveys were taken immediately after the intervention. The SRH score increased significantly, while the increase in the SE score was not significant. Self-esteem as an attitude takes time and specific practices to develop. Academic performance might have also impacted adolescents' self-esteem since the surveys were taken immediately after exams. Therefore, the surveys were conducted again after two months for 36 participants ( ~ 50% of the intervention group). The results showed a significant increase in the SE and SRH scores of the 36 participants. Psychological care and behaviour change communication should be provided through self-esteem-enhancing programs for adolescents to enhance their sexual and reproductive health.Keywords
