Indian Police JournalSummary: Crime figures reported by NCRB(National Crime Record Bureau) are far from the real crime figures. There is a need to change the methodology of crime reporting and registration of crime i.e. through an online crime reporting portal and doing away with offline” informing OC of Police station verbally or in writing”. Allowing extensive use of 157(1)(b) CrPC to Police would empower the Police not to investigate all the criminal but a select few where investigation is needed. In this way NCRB can report realistic crime figures. Thus, the public and government are better informed regarding crime levels, reducing harassment of the public and reducing the burden of Police and court.- Reproduced
