Abstract

The police are the first stakeholders within the criminal justice system responding to the offence of rape. Some specific laws have been enacted in India with the aim of incorporating a victim-friendly approach during the stages of reporting and investigation of rape cases by the police. This paper presents the results from the responses of the police from a cross-sectional study conducted in the states of Odisha (OD), Jharkhand (JH), and West Bengal (WB) in eastern India to see their approaches to the implementation of the victim-friendly provisions of the law at such specific stages. It presents the police perceptions on compliance with laws pertaining to reporting, registration and investigation of rape cases in the three selected states and the corresponding state-wise differences in police attitudes. The findings show that there is more non-compliance and there are differences in the degrees of compliance or non-compliance in the three states.
强奸案件的报告和调查对受害者友好吗?警方对在印度东部三个邦进行的横断面研究的回应
警察是刑事司法系统中应对强奸罪的第一批利益攸关方。印度颁布了一些具体的法律,目的是在警方报告和调查强奸案件的阶段采用有利于受害者的方法。本文介绍了警方在印度东部奥里萨邦(OD)、贾坎德邦(JH)和西孟加拉邦(WB)进行的一项横断面研究的结果,以了解他们在这些特定阶段实施对受害者友好的法律条款的方法。它介绍了三个选定州警方对遵守强奸案件报告、登记和调查相关法律的看法,以及相应的州警方态度差异。调查结果显示,三个州的不遵守情况更多,遵守或不遵守程度也存在差异。
