Police are the mirror of the society n their duty plays a very vital role for the smooth sunning of our society. These r some of the measures which can be taken by Police to prevent n stop the crimes against women.

Firstly, we have to change the mindset of an average policeman, who also being a product of the same patriarchal society, still looks down upon women. I am not generalizing but can’t shy away from accepting the fact that very few women have the guts to go to a police station. There are too many peering eyes, too many uncomfortable questions. A woman feels violated all over again. But why am I blaming only the police? The police is but a reflection of the society. Isn’t it absolutely sad that it is the raped woman who is ostracized by her family and society? We find faults with her character, way of talking, dressing style, etc, whereas a person who commits such a crime behaves as a victor. Why he is never shamed? Sadly, many a time it’s the women who also show much contempt for the victims. It’s as if they desire vicarious pleasure by the plight of their own sex. Don’t all the ‘Saas Bahu’ derails depict that every day? It’s so ironic that it’s the ladies of the house who instil the idea of ‘male superiority’ in the boy’s head, right from his childhood. This notion has to be changed, and it can be done only by the women folk.

Secondly, to train policemen to accord a high priority to crime against women. The policemen, starting from the constabulary level should be taught all the relevant laws, procedures, etc, for such cases. In cases of domestic violence, the police should not treat them as personal matters, to be sorted out in the family. It will be better if only women ‘man’ such police stations where crime against women are reported. There are all women police stations already but their number is too small to make a meaningful change. For this, we have to increase the intake of their cadres in the police force. The government has already made 33% reservation for women in the paramilitary forces, it will be great if it follows suit for the police.

Thirdly, The police should have a dedicated helpline and control room for all women-related crimes. The control room should be fitted with all the latest gadgets and technologies. All the state police should develop apps for woman, be it used for a distress call or domestic violence. Naturally, patrolling needs to be intensified in ‘dangerous areas’, the policeman on the beat must be made to understand that sexual crimes are as important as offences like robbery, etc. Then obviously, an average policeman must be at least aware of the basics of forensic science. So often a case is spoilt due to want of correct evidence. It will be better if we have trained squads for sexual offence investigation. This will lead to conviction and punishment of the offenders, who otherwise go scot-free making a mockery of the system. The laws are already stringent but need to be implemented in letter and spirit. Fast track courts can be appointed for expediting such cases.

Fourthly, It’s high time that Indian police has trained psychologists to counsel victims after their traumatic experiences.

All these measures will increase the confidence of women and encourage them to lodge FIRs and complaints. Not reporting such cases has often emboldened the culprits. At the same time, lodging of false cases greatly reduces sympathy for genuine victims.

Lastly, Police and the government should make videos propagating messages related to crime against women, just on the lines of the successful clips of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the anti-smoking campaign. It’s time we start taking the Nirbhayas to hospitals immediately, instead of letting them lie on the roads for hours. And then vent our anger on the social welfare and having candle light vigils.. The world has always been harsh towards women but there is no better time to change the world order
