Key Takeaways from the series ‘Delhi Crime’
Nov 4, 2023
- Media trials cause a hindrance in the investigation.
- Protests/Activism is easy; however, it disregards the efforts being made by the police.
- Prejudices tend to disrupt/mislead the process. Eg: Kachcha Baniyan Gang: DNTs held
- Moral policing is also responsible for crimes. Eg: Gruesome rape in Delhi (16/12/2012)
- IPS Life: Tough life, emergency situations, can lead to strained family relations if not managed well.
- More often than not, police CANNOT prevent crime — it can only try to solve the case in a timely manner. Impetus lies on the Courts to not delay justice — otherwise, it can lead to public angst and vigilantism.
- Due to chances of vulnerable communities facing prejudice, following “Rule of Law” becomes even more important.
- Stresses upon the structural inequalities and widening gulf b/w the rich and the poor as one of the reasons behind rising crimes.
