It was found that the ratio of 70-80% women had dialed number 100, to report a crime happened with them. They also said that it was uncomfortable to report to the police about the incident which has taken place with them. Hence most of them, have also avoided to report the crime and the process to do so is not friendly or supportive in nature. Few also expressed, distrust towards the police and hence have avoided to report of any misconducted to them. In the overall survey, it was the women, children and senior citizen found to report maximum unsafe strategistics and this belonged to the skilled and the unskilled strata of the society.
