Citing the recent gang-rape of a young girl in New Delhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday asked the police to make protection of women their priority and advised them to change their image which is not good among general public.
Addressing a group of India Police Service probationers at his residence, Dr Singh said there should be behaviourial and psychological studies to see why people indulge in heinous crimes like gang-rape and efforts should be made to "wean" them away.
He said fast-paced urbanisation was leading to increased migration of job-searching youth from rural areas and they could become a "menace" if they do not get "well absorbed" in the processes of development.
