Bhardwaj for creating "democratic police" to contain juvenile crime

Ranchi, Jun 24 (UNI) Union Law Minister Hans Raj Bharadwaj today stressed the need on creating ''democratic police'' to deal with juvenile delequencies.

He said cases of children and women are delicate and needed to be ''treated and tried'' differently.

Mr Bharadwaj made no bone to put forward his view that a special police force comprising only women, who could provide motherly treatment, should be raised to take care of such ill-fated children and asserted that ''we do not require any battalion'' to contain crimes committed by children.

Delivering his keynote address as guest of honour at a two-day symposium on 'Juvenile Justice (Care&Protection of Children) Act, 2000', the Union Law Minister simultaneously brought home the point that women also needed to be treated and tried differently with special attitude.

He repented the fact that till date the country did not have ''proper'' police to tackle juvenile crime adding ''we have to refine the instituion'' to see a country generating useful citizens only.

In a clear message to the law enforcing elements, Mr Bhardwaj said, ''justice is tit for tat''.
