#YearInReview Here is a snapshot of our interesting work on #policing this year!
The #COVID19 lockdown posed a unique law and order challenge, and the police were at the forefront. @_NehaSinha, @AvantiDurani, @priveda22 & @TveshaSippy curated a list of measures for #police and the prison administration during and post lockdown bit.ly/2X1vERk
Being at the forefront also posed operational and business continuity risks for the police. @_NehaSinha & @TveshaSippy addressed this risk in this blog post published by @IPF

In collaboration with @IPF_ORG, we hosted a #webinar on ‘Pandemic Policing: Heath, Well-being, Morale & Motivation of #Police for Operational Continuity & Resilience’. Panellists included central & state police leaders & medical experts. Highlights here
#COVID19 management also posed an important question. How citizen-friendly is our police? @_NehaSinha, Devika Nadig and Mr Shivanadan addressed this question on #policedialogues hosted by @fayedsouza. #ICYMI you can catch the entire conversation here:
.@AvantiDurani & @priveda22 highlighted that "[F]or the police to get things right, it is important that policymakers start looking at two important areas of structural change — police-public relations and inter-agency coordination.” @ThePrintIndia

#YearinReview Here is our list of 5 of the most interesting papers on state capacity this year!
Devesh Kapur's 'Why Does the Indian State Both Fail and
Succeed?' seeks to explain why India tends to have a better record on specific tasks like eradicating polio—where delivery is episodic with inbuilt exit—than on things like improving public health outcomes more generally. Image
Kapur proposes some explanations: understaffing of local governments, ramifications of India adopting democracy at a 'precocious' stage relative to its economic development, and the persistence of social cleavages in India by caste, gender, and religion.

2. Resilient dense cities (3/9)

@nebuer42 and @VaidehiTandel argued that density is not to be blamed for the spread of #COVIDー19 in our cities, rather, these patterns emerged from multiple factors -@htTweets

#PoliceReform: Police are the public’s first interface with the criminal justice system & crime registration is a crucial first step in the process. Not registering a crime fails to deter criminals, thus stymieing the process of justice. (1/n)
The results from our survey on 'Safety Trends And Reporting of Crime' revealed underreporting."This could be because victims themselves refrained from approaching the police [..] or the police did not register the case for various reasons", explain @AvantiDurani & @_NehaSinha.
What are some reasons for not filing an FIR? 30% of respondents felt that the police would not entertain their complaint, in Chennai, 51% mentioned lack of evidence, and in Bengaluru, 35% didn’t want to get tangled in police/court procedures.(3/n)
