The formal recognition of the desirable involvement of women police
for dealing with crimes again... more The formal recognition of the desirable involvement of women police for dealing with crimes against women and children came in during 1922 at the international convention of international police heads (Vishnoi, 1999). Recruitment of women as duty bearers was based on the understanding that women experiencing violence need to feel safe and protected to encourage reporting of the same and she may not feel safe while reporting violence perpetrated by a male to another male sitting within the criminal justice system (UN Women, 2011). India has also followed suit by making the positioning of women mandatory or preferable in justice delivery systems which work as a first contact for women facing violence. Way back in 1987, the National Expert Committee on Women Prisoners recommended the setting up of separate police stations or specific booths to deal exclusively with issues pertaining to crimes against/ by women (Vishnoi, 1999:38). The present article examines the researches which have been undertaken on the subject and thereby draws upon the gains that have been achieved through the appointment of women in services meant for addressing concerns of victims of violence. It also examines what further needs to be done to ensure that the intent with which women were made a part of the services gets realised in greater measure.
