Crime against Women: Bihar profile

Any reference to the state of Bihar evokes peculiar reactions. Reports are read very often about the high number of crimes committed in one or other place in Bihar. These include the instances of groups killing each other, groups keeping their own private armies, groups perpetrating gang rapes and so on, and yet the number of crimes as reported from Bihar are quite low as compared to the number of crimes reported from other districts in the country.

Discounting the possible gap in reporting, the study of the crime of rapes has been attempted as a starting point. Here again, one is not only required to discount the non-reporting of individual instances of rape or gang-rape, but one is acutely aware that even NCRB does not ask for separate reports of gang-rape although many instances are reported heavily in newspapers from Bihar. A recommendation can be made at the outset that NCRB must start keeping a separate record of all gang rapes, mass rapes or rapes by one community on the other as a result of communal disharmony and revenge psyche.
