According to a Common Cause-CSDS report, just 8% of people in UP and 9% in Punjab find performance and perception of police satisfactory. Himachal & Haryana top the list with 71%.

New Delhi:
The people of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana are rather satisfied with the way their respective police forces function, while Punjab and Uttar Pradesh think they’re awful.

According to a report by NGO Common Cause and the Lokniti programme of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) on the performance and perception of policing across India, released Wednesday, the satisfaction level of people in Himachal and Haryana is 71 per cent, while UP scores a mere 8 per cent, and Punjab 9 per cent.

The report, prepared after analysing official data, including the National Crime Records Bureau and the Bureau of Police Research and Development, and a perception survey across 22 states, highlighted the gaps and systemic inefficiencies which have become endemic.

“The analysis in this report is arranged primarily in terms of best or worst performing states. The information is also given on parameters like age, gender, caste, community, rural or educational status,” a statement released by Common Cause said.

“The survey provides snapshots of levels of fairness and responsiveness of the criminal justice system to distress and crime, and the levels of accessibility and impartially with the respect to the society’s vulnerable sections.”

Key findings: poorest contacted more by police

According to the report, 82 per cent respondents did not report any contact with the police in the last four to five years. Of all those who reported police contact, 67 per cent contacted the police, whereas 17 per cent were contacted by the police.

In this latter category, 23 per cent were Adivasis, followed by Muslims (21 per cent), OBCs (17 per cent), Dalits (16 per cent), upper castes (13 per cent) and others (10 per cent).

Vipul Mudgal, director of Common Cause, also said that the poor were nearly twice as likely to be contacted by the police as the rich.

Marginalised communities face discrimination

The report said that the marginalised were more prone to discrimination by the police.
