According to the report, the rate of crimes per one lakh women in Delhi is 184.3, against 53.9 for the rest of the country

The rate of violent incidents against women in the national Capital continues to remain “unacceptably high”. Delhi recorded the highest number of such incidents among all states and Union Territories (UT) in the last four years, according to a recent report.

The report titled ‘Safety of women in public spaces in Delhi: Governance and budgetary challenges’ has been compiled by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA), a think-tank focusing on public policies and government finances in India, and NGO Jagori. According to the report, the rate of crimes per one lakh women in Delhi is 184.3, against 53.9 for the rest of the country.

Highlighting the major reasons behind this growing crisis, the study stated that the shortage of police personnel and inadequate presence of women in the security forces have made the situation worse.

“The actual strength of Delhi Police personnel is lesser than the number of sanctioned posts. In the last three years, the actual number of personnel in Delhi police was around 9,000 short of 85,000 sanctioned posts, a significant shortfall in a jurisdiction the size in Delhi,” it said.

“The percentage of women in the Delhi Police is shockingly low — 9 per cent of the total strength, 75,653, by the year 2015,” the report revealed, adding that even these women were concentrated in the lower ranks of the force and their negligible presence at higher levels underscored the need to ensure women’s presence at every level.
