Crime against women can’t stop with just police action, people need to change: Parameshwara [Video]

Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara said on Thursday that crime against women cannot be stopped with mere police action and suggested that people need to change to check the social evil.

Addressing media, Parameshwara said: “One has to observe that rapes on women and children indicate a social problem.”

“The action needs to be taken at a larger scale. The syllabus in universities should include this aspect. It has to be taught in the schools. This challenge needs a long-term solution which needs to be taken up. It is also a social problem and won’t get resolved if police are to arrest a few and lodge cases,” Parameshwara pointed out.

He further stressed, “My appeal with concern is the people need to change.”
