To augment the representation of women in the Police Forces of all the Union Territories (UTs) including Delhi Police, Government of India has approved 33 percent reservation for women in direct recruitment in Non-Gazetted posts from Constable to Sub-Inspector, on 20.03.2015.

 

Occurrence of vacancies, inter-alia on account of retirements, creation of posts etc. is a dynamic process and accordingly filling up vacancies is a continuous process.  Delhi Police has already initiated the recruitment process to fill up the vacant posts.

 

Crime depends on many factors including socio-economic conditions, demography, materialism, consumerism, impact of mass media, anonymity, mental health, unplanned urbanization, institutional arrangement etc.

 

This was stated by the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Nityanand Rai in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
