69(2), Apr-Jun, 2022: p.144-158 Sexual Victimization has been documented a part of a girl’s life, though its severity, timing, place, and life space may vary. Sexual Victimization of Higher Education Institution (HEI) students have been long established in numerous research articles. However, sexual victimization of students of a specific age group and a specific type cannot be justified for a few reasons. Police are the first agency that is knocked after a crime occurrence. The interaction of the Police with the victim is an initial image a victim draws in mind. Supportive interaction with the first agency is half the justice attained for the victim. The past case experiences of Police play a significant role in building perception regarding sexual victimization. When gender biases exist, the working of the Police becomes ineffective and unfruitful. The study will enumerate various perceptions of Police on the sexual victimization of students of Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The objectives will majorly cover: the forms understood as sexual victimization by Police officials, the main reason behind commission of these victimizations, the reasons behind non-reporting of sexual victimizations, the life space perceived to be of highest risk for sexual victimization, the steps taken by Police to deal with victims of sexual crimes and lastly suggestions for female students by Police to deal with sexual victimization.
