Women in Law Enforcement: The Indian Perspective

Abstract

This study explores the Indian viewpoint on women in law enforcement, with a particular emphasis on public attitudes and how gender diversity may improve the efficacy of the system. The study examines the general public views of women in law enforcement and the difficulties they confront; secondly, it looks into the way gender equality affects agencies' effectiveness. The primary results show that the public has a combination of misunderstandings and awareness. While some see equal chances, others continue to have preconceived notions about women. The majority of those surveyed acknowledge that gender diversity has a favourable effect on law enforcement personnel's ability to solve problems. It is shown that obstacles exist, such as ingrained biases and preconceptions, which emphasize the necessity of transforming projects. This study offers insightful information about the attitudes and difficulties encountered by women in Indian law enforcement. The results highlight how crucial it is to deal with prejudices and encourage inclusivity in order to create a more efficient and fair legal system.
