| Title | Police Accountability and Reporting of Sexual Violence Against Women in Delhi, India |
| Summary | An estimated 99% of the sexual violence crimes in India go unreported. And Delhi is known as the rape capital of the country. This study focuses on police response to women survivors of sexual violence in Delhi. If policies are to be designed to improve the responsiveness and accountability of police officers for sexual violence crimes, it is important to understand if the survivors’ perception of police officers is indeed true. This study attempts to address this knowledge gap by examining the attitudes and behaviours of police officers towards the survivors and their commitment to the investigation of the crime. It does so by how rape of myths affect officers' perceptions of victim credibility and the authenticity of rape crimes. |
