Crime In DelhiTaj HassanSpl. Commissioner of Police

In the year 2014, crime registration has shown a sharp increase. This was because a conscious decision was taken to register all complaints which disclose the commission of a cognizable offence. Registered crime in Delhi was at 64882 IPC cases in 1998, which fell to 54287 in 2012 notwithstanding the fact that population grew exponentially, unplanned urbanization continued unabated and inequality in society soared. It was obvious that the crime statistics did not match with the actual crime situation prevalent in society. Therefore, in the backdrop of our new motto, Shanti, Sewa, Nyaya adopted in 2014, it was decided to change the mind set of police personnel and encourage them to register all cognizable offences reported to them. All field staff was suitably sensitized, enthused and also rewarded to carry out the policy of truthful registration of crime. This has resulted in increase in crime statistics reflecting the actual position of crime in the society. Street crime increased considerably,

as police, were earlier shy of registering street crime. The genuine depiction of crime was a bold decision of Delhi Police, and in the long run it will certainly help Delhi Police in making proper strategy to tackle crime, in augmenting resources as per the reality, and in ensuring better service delivery.

Registration of crime till 15th December 2014, in absolute terms has increased manifold. The chart given below depicts the increase in the registration of crime because of the policy of truthful registration.

(A) Safety of vulnerable groups

(1) Women

Safety of women remained on top priority for Delhi Police during the year 2014. Several new initiatives were taken during the current year to strengthen the mechanism to handle this issue holistically. Many steps were taken previous year for women safety, for example, functioning of round the clock Women Help Desk with dedicated telephone line, increasing the number of women helpline 1091 from 4 to 10, Thana Level Committee on women safety, security audit of paying guest accommodation and girls hostels, watch on vulnerable route, deployment of women in PCR van, and deployment of women in certain areas prone to crimes against women were reiterated and honed. The monthly interaction with Women Help Groups and women NGOs with an officer of the rank of Spl. CP also continued. All field officers were time and again directed to register the cases related to assault on women without creating any jurisdictional dispute. Women beat constable under the scheme Parivartan continued their work in the areas where crimes against women are generally rampant. Publicity of women helpline number 1091 was also done by pasting posters in motor vehicles, public service transport and

in resettlement/jhuggi areas. Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC) and districts organized self-defence training for girls to instill confidence in their mind. 15583 girls were trained in the self-defence training courses during the year 2014. Interaction with Women Help Groups and NGOs was held at the district level also. Traffic Police took concerted action against TSR and taxi drivers for refusal and misbehaviour. Deployment at identified bus stops was done by Traffic Police as well as local police. Traffic Police took action against public transport vehicles having films and tinted glasses. Areas affected by refusal and misbehavior by TSR/taxi drivers were mapped and accordingly Traffic Police and local police were deployed at these places. The instructions for the BPOs regarding safety of women was reiterated and like each year many meetings with BPOs were held to ensure that women employees of various BPOs feel secure during their journey from their homes to their workplace.

Directions were also issued to record the statement of victims under 164 CrPC within 24 hours of the reporting of crime in rape cases. Awareness on Criminal Law Amendment Act 2013 and other laws dealing with sexual offences against women was made. For handling women victims of crime, Delhi Police deputed women officers on demand or on call to the One Stop Centre established at three hospitals namely, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, Hari Nagar, Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Mangolpuri, and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Dilshad Garden by the Health Department of GNCT.

(2) Children

Tracing missing children remains important priority for Delhi Police. In each case of missing of a child, FIR was registered immediately. In 2014 (upto 15th December), 6227 cases were registered as against 5554 cases of the corresponding period of 2013.

All field units were directed repeatedly to account for each missing child and remove the anomaly, if any, between the number of children missing and the number of FIRs registered, and to register the case even if a missing child is traced soon. It was reiterated to upload the details of all missing children on ZIPNET without any delay, to follow the SOP in this regard, and to take systematic action to trace the child. Crime Branch took the initiative of screening the children at Shelter Homes in order to link a missing child with the case registered in NCR of Delhi. Similarly, a drive has been launched to screen the children living at railway stations, bus stands, and near religious places so that they could be linked with the data of missing children, and accordingly recovered and handed over to their parents or guardian. It is also being checked whether the details of missing children are being uploaded on www.trackthemissingchild.gov.in. The Crime Branch also analyzed the pattern of missing children particularly for the areas infested by this problem, and tried to find out whether organized gangs has any hand in this. The focus area in this regard is children from three to ten years of age who generally do not run away from home on their own.

In order to have the identity and photograph of a child particularly in the poor families, the campaign known as Pehchan was launched in 2011 and the same continuous this year. Under this scheme, photographs of children from poor families not having the financial capacity to have a photograph taken, were taken and kept in a library of photographs which could be used

(3) Senior Citizens

Registration of Senior Citizens continued during this year also. Apart from the Senior Citizens living alone, the senior citizens who live alone at home for long hours as their children go out for work, are also being registered now with the Delhi Police.

Delhi Police has given due importance to the security of people from the North Eastern states residing in Delhi. Standing Order based on zero tolerance policy for tackling problems faced by them has been issued. Jt. CP/SPUWAC has been made the Chief Coordinator/Nodal Officer in this regard. It was decided to involve representatives from various states of North East in the process of redressing the grievances of the North Eastern people residing in Delhi. Accordingly, 44 representatives, all socially active persons from the North Eastern states were appointed as representatives of their respective states. District DCsP were directed to interact with them regularly. 124 meetings were held with the North Eastern representatives/students/employees and 2432 participants attended

these meetings till 15/12/14. These meetings were held by officers of different ranks at district level as well as by Jt. CP/SPUWAC.

A citizen can register his FIR related to the loss of his vehicle through this App from anywhere in the world. The digital system will search the stolen vehicle each day from the data of the recovered ones. After completion of investigation, electronic case diary will be sent to the court, and untraced report will also be generated and sent to the complainant electronically.

(1) Crimogenic factors

Delhi, being the capital of the country, has been developing at a rapid pace. This rapid urbanization has also led to certain factors which have a bearing towards the crime rate in the city. The large expansion of new colonies like Dwarka, Rohini, etc., and addition of thousands of unplanned colonies is an important crimogenic factor particularly for street crimes like robbery and snatching.

Other factors responsible for crime are as follows:-

Socio-economic imbalances,

Proximity of location of colonies of the affluent and the under-privileged,

Loosening of social structures and family control,
