SPIR 2019 notes that representation of women in the Indian police continues to be very poor, at just 7.28%.

One in four male police personnel is highly biased against women in police, according to the Status of Policing in India Report (SPIR) 2019. The report is based on surveys conducted by Common Cause, Tata Trusts, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), and Lokniti, and was published on August 27, 2019. Researchers interviewed 11,834 police personnel across 105 locations from 21 states between February and April 2019. The survey covered the personnel’s opinions over adequacy of police infrastructure and their perception of several types of crimes and different sections of society.

The report says, “When we compared the responses of male police personnel with those of females, we found a significant difference. Men in police were found to harbour much stronger stereotypes compared to their female counterparts. Male police personnel are more likely to agree with the gender-stereotypical statements, while police women are much more likely to disagree with such statements.”

The report points out that integration of women in police, aside from ensuring fair representation and diversity, is known to have positive impact on the police structure. It says that studies have indicated that increasing female representation in the police is directly associated with increased reporting of violent crimes against women and decreased domestic violence. Having more female officers also positively affect police-community relationships and the overall performance of the police.
