Gardiner Harris writes an article about how the police are usually a part of rape in India. There have been many reported cases in New Delhi about rape. One specific case that Harris talks about dealt with a police officer. Many people believe that the police in New Delhi should not be allowed to deal with cases that involve women. They often end up being unfair. Also, the police make very little money, work in somewhat considered bad conditions, and are poorly organized. That is why if you are looking for justice but are poor, you end up being ignored because the police officers depend heavily on bribes from the rich people. Last year there was more than 600 rape accusations, and only one person was sent to prison. The police of India are not considered to be trusted.

Harris uses this article to show awareness on the serious happenings in New Delhi, India. It is becoming a bigger deal, and Harris does a good job of portraying it. Harris provides the reader with many examples of young women who have gone through such things. Along with many examples, Harris also includes many quotes in his article to show what the country is dealing with when it relates to police officers.
