PART II: ISLAMABAD CITY A. CITY OVERVIEW 1.
BRIEF HISTORY
Islamabad, literally meaning “the abode of Islam” is the capital of Pakistan. True to the meaning of its name, it embodies the Islamic values and the aspirations of the Muslims of South Asia, which culminated in the establishment of Pakistan in 1947. Its freshness and beauty symbolize the hopes and aspirations of the people of Pakistan to revive in a modern context the glory and grandeur of the Muslim rule in South Asia. It is also the expression of the national will to exemplify the best in town planning and civic amenities with up to date technology. The rapidly emerging city has achieved a distinguished pattern and shape of its own.

President Muhammad Ayub Khan will always be remembered for shifting the capital to Islamabad. Earlier, the capital of the country was Karachi, which was selected because of the exigency prevailing at the time of the independence. The need for a proper capital remained in the mind of the Government and its people all the time. In 1959, this important national task was taken up in right earnest and a high-powered commission was established to assess the suitability of Karachi as capital and to recommend another site in case of its unsuitability. On the recommendation of this commission, the government decided in favour of the Potohar areas and made a public announcement to this effect in June 1959. On February, 24, 1960 the Government named the new capital as Islamabad. To undertake the huge task of constructing a new capital within a reasonable time, an autonomous body with necessary legal status and backing was considered necessary. Islamabad.net Consequently, the Capital Development Authority Ordinance was issued on June 14, 1960, constituting the Authority and defining its powers and duties. According to this Ordinance, the general direction and administration of the Authority and its affairs vest in a board consisting of not less than 3 members (Chairman, Financial Advisor and a Member) to be appointed by the Federal Government. It was in October 1961 that the construction work commenced. Exactly two years later, in October 1963, the new city came to life with the arrival of its first residents. Earlier, a greater part of the Secretariat of the Government of Pakistan was moved to Rawalpindi in October 1959, to be later shifted to Islamabad when the required Government building and residence for the Government employees were ready for occupation.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERS/ GEOGRAPHY
2.1.
LOCATION
Islamabad Federal Capital lies between 33º - 28’ and 33º -48’ north Latitudes and 72º -48’ and 73º - 22’ east longitudes. It is bounded by Haripur District of the NWFP to the north and by Rawalpindi District of Punjab on all other sides. 2.2.
TOPOGRAPHY
Islamabad is located on the northern most edge of the tract known as Potohar plateau. The site is an uneven table and land is gradually rising in elevation from 500 to 600 meters above the see level. In the extreme north, the hills rise more steeply. The highest point is 1600 metes above the sea level. Most of the Margallah range in the North West is composed of hill series belonging to the Eocene division of the tertiary period and are about 60 million years old. The rock formation consists of gray or dark coloured lime stone with layers of shale containing fossils. The land gradually slopes towards the south. The land is composed either of alluvium (clay or slit) or of gravel caps. The plains are formed of alluvial deposits laid by the past and the present river systems in varying thicknesses. A large part of the area is undulating and at various places it is badly dissected by gullies and ravines. The Korang stream has been dammed at a place named Rawal to form the Rawal Lake. Another dam has been built on the Soan River to form the Simly Lake. 2.3.
FLORA
On the top of the Margallah hills is commonly found Cheel (Pinus Logifolia) and kuwa (wild Oliver) along the reverence. Phulai (Acacia modesta), Sanatha (Dodona-bura manniana) are found. Shisham (Dalbergia sisso), Toot (Morus-alba) and paper mulberry are also grown. A famous species of grass is Dab (Amuricatus). Wild products of plains include flower buds of the Kachnar, wild pomegranate, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, wild pears etc. Along the ravines small stunted bushes are commonly found. 2.4.
FAUNA
A century ago sometimes tiger and leopard used to be found in the Forests. However, these species are almost extinct now and are rarely seen in Margallah hills and at reverie sides. There are few foxes occasionally found here and the in the open fields, wild bores, foxes, rabbits and jackals are generally seen in fields and forests. Chakor and gray partridge are mostly seen while black partridge is rare. Geese are found in Soan valley. Quail come annually in enormous number in the spring and autumn. 2.5.
CLIMATE
Islamabad has distinct season marked by wide variation in temperature. The coldest month is January when the mean maximum temperature is 17.7 º C and the mean minimum -2-
temperature 2.6º C. June is the hottest month with the mean maximum temperature near 40º C and the mean minimum temperature 24º C. Throughout the year, the winds blow predominantly from north or the south-east, but in summer there are short spells of wind from north or south-east.

RACES AND TRIBES
For study of ethnography Islamabad can be divided into two parts i.e. urban and rural. In Islamabad City people belonging to almost all possible races and tribes of Pakistan are living. Regarding people living in rural areas, they are mostly Rajput. The important subdivisions are Bhatti, Rawal, Janjua and Chohan. Besides, Gujar, Awan, Mughal, Quershi, Syed and Satti are also living here. Some of the other minor tribes are the Jat, Malyar and Pathan and some Khattar. The people is general are whitish in color and have lighter complexion than rest of the people living in southern Punjab. People are generally well built and of medium height, sturdy and rugged looking. They mostly resemble the people of the Hazara Division and -3-
Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Physical features and language spoken by them are quite different from the people of the plains. 2.7.
DRAINAGE
Being located at the foot of the Himalayan’s off-shoot i.e. Margalla hills on the north, Murree and Kotli Sattian hills on the east, the District has natural slope from east and north to south-west for draining out speedily the rain water resulting immediate drying out the roads, passages, etc. The Leh Nala enters the District from Margallah hills near the famous village Nurpur Shahan and passing through many urban sectors leaves it near the Holy Family Hospital. There are several tributaries of Leh Nala joining it at various places in ICT. The Korang River enters into the District near Chatter Park and joins the Soan River near model village Humak after traversing through rural area of Islamabad and Rawalpindi Districts. There is a famous lake and dam with a spillway known as Rawal Lake and Rawal Dam respectively, built at this river near Sports Complex, which is providing potable water to Rawalpindi City. Gumareh Kas stream originates from Murree hills at the District boundary near village Jandala also joins this river at Tarlai Kalan after running through the rural part of the District as Simili reservoir traversing along the District boundary from village Chirah upto village Pind Kalan, turning south-west and then to east near Sihala Mirza merges in the Korang river and Leh Nala near Humak. At Sihala Mirza, Ling River also joins it. 2.8.
AGRICULTURE.
The climate is also quite suitable for growing vegetable. Turnip (Loki), lady finger, brinjal, bitter gourd, cauliflower and carrot are grown in abundance where water is available. Lentils (Masoor), sun hemp, Mung, Mash, peas (mutter) are grown as Rabi crop. Fruit orchards are found rare in the District. Area under orchard ranges between 30 to 36 hectares. The climate and soil however, is suitable for Kinoo, lemon, orange, guava and apricot. The area under Rabi crop is more than Kharif crop. Rabi crops generally comprise of wheat, maize, pulses and jawar. As far as Kharif crops are concerned the cultivated area comprise of crops like oil seeds, chilies, fodders etc. and vegetables and fruits. 3.
CULTURE
3.1.
DRESS
Males generally wear Shalwar, Kameez and Chaddar. The Chaddar is a multi purpose dress of rural people. The colour of the man’s dress is generally white, khaki or grey. In winter sometimes they wear long coats or blanket just to protect them from the cold effect of winter. Females wear coloured Shalwar, long shirt and Dophatta/Chaddar over their heads. They generally like ornaments, bangles, necklaces on occasion of festivals and marriages.

FOOD HABITS
Wheat and maize are the staple food grains while bajra is also used to a lesser extent. The villagers mostly use vegetables with tandoori bread and sometimes also take meat. While the people of the urban areas mostly take balanced diet. 3.3.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The plains and lower foothills near the western and northern Margallah range have witnessed a very long and rich human settlement and history. This is partially manifest in the magnificent archaeological sites in the Taxila valley, Archaeological Protection area, adjacent to park’s north western boundary. Here are ruins, which extend back in time to the Paleolithic with nearly continuous archaeological documentation from the Neolithic to the fifth century. Paleolithic sites have been found in areas now occupied by Islamabad, Rawalpindi and vicinity including Dhoke Juri caves near the southern park boundary west of Shah Allah Ditta. The alternating extensions of cultures and influence from the west and east mimic the overlapping of natural ecosystem, and reflect and unusually diverse cultural heritage. Although the most significant known sites are not in the park, there are associated sites in the Park, which are worthy of protection and interpretation. A cobbled path and nearby ancient well on the pass north of Shah Allah Ditta, locally known as Kukkar Dara Khoh, is inventoried or described. On the southern slope, below the pass, is Saddhu Da Bagh (a spring and former Hindu priest’ garden spot) near Shah Allah Ditta village. The caves here date from the medieval age and probably were first developed by Buddhist groups. Hindu images are still faintly visible on some of the walls of these caves. There are locally important religious features, such as the Bouhar (banyan tree) near Faisal Mosque. The shrine of Bari Shah Imam is built on top of medieval sites, which may be on top of older features. Nurpur and Saidpur villages originated in medieval age therefore are at least 450 years old. Remnants of Medieval features can still be found in these villages. Adjacent to the park is an area administered by the Archaeology Department, there are the Khurram Guree spring and excavations nearby, the Faqeer Wali Bun (pond) of Mughal origin, and the Mohra Muradoo excavations with an associated cave near the Julian remains. The remnant of a 500 year old cobbled highway is also there. Once a link in the vast network of Silk Trade route was located in the Margallah Pass, immediately west of the Nicholson Monument. The shrine of Pir Mehar Ali Shah in Golra Sharif is not far from the park southern boundary near Shah Allah Ditta. There are numerous others, which need to be recovered and evaluated.

B. POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE 1.
ADMINISTERATION
In response to the urgent need for an administrative system invested with judicial and administrative control over the ICT the District Administration was established in 1980 assuming the role formerly performed by Rawalpindi District under the Punjab Government. However, this arrangement was considered inadequate for various reasons. Accordingly, on January 1, 1981 administrative functions were assumed by the Federal Government with direct administration by the president or an administrator appointed by him, and the Islamabad Administration was established and assigned all the powers and functions of a Provincial Government. The Local Government institutions in ICT area, therefore, are slightly different from those of other Districts in Pakistan. The Administrator/Chief Commissioner is supported by a Deputy Commissioner, and Inspector General of Police, a District and Sessions Judge and related staff in undertaking the following duties in the ICT. a) Policy formulation (in consultation with the Ministry of Interior if necessary). b) Execution of government policy through its attached department, and c) Coordination with various nation-building departments on behalf of the President. The Capital Territory is spread over an area of 906 sq.km and is divided into three segments: namely, (I) Islamabad Urban area proper, including institutional and industrial area, covering 220 sq. km. (II) Islamabad Park occupying 220 sq. km., and (III) Islamabad rural area measuring 466 sq. km. The rural area of Islamabad encompasses 132 villages and administratively consists of 12 Union Councils. Islamabad proper is planned in parallel belts as detailed below: a) Administrative Sector: This sector is located in Sector 5 (G&F) at the eastern end and is divided into three parts. The northern part consists of the central Secretariat, Prime Minister House, the central part Presidency, Parliament and Supreme Court buildings and the southern part a Cultural Complex. b) Diplomatic Enclave- A special enclave is build to the south-east of the Administrative Sector for the offices and residence of foreign mission. c) Public Building Area- This area is also located in Sector 5 (G&F) to the west of the Administrative Sector and is meant for the head offices of autonomous and semiautonomous organizations. Its northern portion comprises mostly residential units of the Federal and Provincial Governments. While its southern portion is also residential accommodation. The Government Hostel and the State Bank of Pakistan are located here, too. d) Residential Sector- The residential sectors have been planned in rows on both sides of the main civil and commercial Centers called the Blue Area. Each sector is 3.1-sq. km., in area and is a self-contained community unit catering for all socio-economic needs. e) Blue Area- It has been designed in a linear form, allowing its growth parallel to the residential sector. It has multi-storey commercial and office buildings along its main avenue the Khayaban-e-Quaid-e-Azam. - 13 -
f) Industrials Zones-There are separate zones for location of manufacturing and light service industries. The manufacturing industry zone is located in close proximity to Rawalpindi. The light service industries and handicraft units have been located in a belt on the two lanes, skirting the southern edge of the service road of the Residential Sectors. Both zones are currently humming with construction activities and a large number of commercial and industrial units have gone into production. 2.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION
2.1.
PANCHAYAT
The Punchayat is grass-root level organization in the rural area. According to the Capital Territory Local Government Ordinance, 1979, a Punchayat is constituted for a village or a group of villages, consisting of 5 to 7 members headed by a Sarpanch, or Chairman. The members of a Punchayat are elected from among the local leaders on the basis of consensus, and designated to meet for discussion of the production plans and development schemes in their locality. The Punchayat is to organize the people for purpose of identification of felt needs, formulation of action plans and development of local resources for self-management of projects. The Punchayat is a development body closely related with both local population and the administrative affairs of the Union Council 2.2.
UNION COUNCIL
Villages (5-23) form a Union Council (UC), the basic administrative unit in the rural area. The members of the UC (Councilors) are elected by ballot on the basis of adult franchise with an average of one Councilor for every 1,000 residents. The Councilors elect one of their members as Chairman and hold a regular meeting at least once a month under his chairmanship. There are 12 union Councils presently in rural Islamabad with a Secretary in each Union Council. Aside from the routine work of general administrative nature, the UC undertakes, if necessary, the provision, maintenance, improvement and management of public structures such as roads, streets, culverts, bridges, public building, gardens and playground, etc., as well as formulation of development Programme, promotion of various cooperative associations, and medical facilities water supply system, sanitation and farm roads. The Union Council incorporates the development program various schemes into the draft budget for the subsequent fiscal year and submits it to the Deputy Commissioner/ Project Director of rural Islamabad. The Deputy Commissioner subsequently refers these schemes to the Rural Area Coordination Committee (RACC) for coordination among the Union Councils in the area in terms of their planning and implementation. Priority to the schemes is give by RACC. The Rural Area Coordination Committee mainly coordinates the activities of all Union Councils and of all Government and Semi-Government departments or institutions in the rural area of ICT. The RACC is a local government institution at the District level and consists of all the elected chairmen of 12 Union Councils, and ex-officio members such as
- 14 -
representatives from CDA, WAPDA, AES Departments and heads of various other nation building departments, including engineers and doctors. The RACC coordinates agreement between various government and semi-government departments and Union Councils. It also coordinates planning and implementation of local development schemes for each fiscal year, as well as various other activities. When a unanimous decision cannot be obtained at a meeting, the 12 elected chairmen of the Union Councils settle the issue by vote. 2.3.
MARKAZ AND ITS ACTIVITIES
When the Integrated Rural Development (IRD) Program was launched throughout the country, the ICT was largely neglected. However, in 1975 a Markaz was set up at Tarlai village as Pilot Project, with a later addition of two other Rural Development Markaz, Sihala and Bara Kau in 1977 and 1978, respectively. The first Markaz, at Tarlai, was established by the CDA to improve the economical and social conditions of the rural population. In July 1977 this Markaz was transferred to Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development in compliance with a directive issued by the Prime Minister. The three Markaz now cover the entire rural population of ICT, which consist of 276,055 people settled in 132 villages and grouped into 12 Union Councils. The objectives and functions of IRD Markaz are coordination, service and development as outlined below: Coordinating Unit: Markaz is envisioned to coordinate all activities of nation building department at the Markaz level in regard to development projects. The annual Development Program is drawn up on the basis of consultation with local representative at the Markaz level. The Markaz provides liaison between concerned development agencies and the local population. Service Agency: The Markaz is the focal point for provision of technical knowledge, advice and guidance to the local population (agriculture, veterinary, etc.) It serves as training centre for upgrading the skills of field functionaries, councilors, progressive farmers and group leaders, etc. The Markaz may also provide assistance in upgrading the skills of the local people preparing them for meaningful and active participation in development and social activities. Present Activities: Despite limited resources, especially the absence of skilled technical support; achievements have been made in coordination with UCs through schemes at Tarlai, Sihala, Bara Kau and suburban villages. Efforts are being made for improvement of Markaz activities with local participation in the development, decision making process, planning, financing and execution of development schemes. Village organizations /cooperatives are to be encouraged for commercial and economical activities. 2.4.
LOCAL GOVT. AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Total population of rural area is spread over 132 villages, which are grouped into 12 Union Councils and 3 Rural Development Markaz. The Rural Area Coordination Committee - 15 -
(RACC) constituted according to the Capital Territory Local Government Ordinance, 1979 coordinates the activities of Union Councils and other nation building department. The chairman of each Union Council is a member of the RACC and the District heads of each nation building department serves as ex-official member of the RACC. The RACC functions similar to Zila Council (District Council) in other Districts of the country. For the smooth operation and coordination of the above mentioned Local Government Institutions, Assistant Director at the District level look after and facilitates the affairs related to local government and the integrated rural development program in ICT. The main function of the Department of the Local Government and Rural Development is to coordinate the activities of Local Government Institutions at different levels including those of the Union Councils, Rural Development Markaz and RACC as well as activities among the other nation building departments. The Department is responsible for providing technical assistance to the Union Councils in the execution of their development schemes, guiding the local representatives in their official routine work and supervise all the activities being carried out by he Local Government Institutions, providing guidance in all process from planning to implementation of development and non development schemes, making arrangements to hold periodical elections for Local Bodies and to perform duties according to the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance/Rules 1961. 2.5.
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (CDA)
The gigantic task of developing the brand new city of Islamabad could not be accomplished without an organization which could come to grip the complexities, challenges, obstacles and difficulties that lay in the path of achieving the defined goal. Capital Development Authority (CDA) was established on June 14, 1960, first by an executive order issued on June 24, 1960 entitled the Pakistan Capital Regulation, to be superseded by the CDA ordinance issued on June 27, 1960. The CDA Ordinance constituted the authority, laid down its charter and defined its power, duties, functions and responsibilities. Initially the administration of the authority and its functions were controlled by a board consisting of three members: the Chairman, Financial Advisor and one other Member with the commissioner Rawalpindi acting as ex-officio Member. With the passage of time and added responsibilities, the CDA board is now composed of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Members of Finance, Administration and Engineering. Commissioner of Rawalpindi and Chief Commissioner Islamabad are the ex-officio members of CDA Board. Each member is in charge of various directorates well staffed with highly qualified, experienced and capable professionals in various fields and disciplines.
- 16 -
Need for municipal services were felt acutely with the increase in population and the CDA Ordinance was amended in 1966 to vest the Authority with municipal powers. CDA is responsible for coordinating all endeavors for the development of the whole of the capital region so that unity of purpose is ensured at all times. Within Islamabad area CDA is not only the planning and coordinating authority but also the executive authority.
The original master plan had provided only a broad outline or framework for the new capital.

SAFE HOME SCEME
2.6.2.1.
CONCEPT
The edifice is based on the concept of Target Hardening and internationally recognized crime strategy. The philosophy behind is that all those targets which are vulnerable to crime should be made safe and secure by denying the opportunity to criminal to commit crime. 2.6.2.2.
ABOUT SAFE HOME SCHEME
Property worth millions of rupees is lost due to burglaries and thefts. Islamabad, having a major composition of floating population, is more vulnerable to this menace. Thousands of people commute daily to the city for their jobs. This cyclic migratory nature facilitates the criminals to enter in city in the grab of job seekers. The places giving the impression of loose security became their easy prey and target. No where in the world, Police alone can control the crime. It is now the collective responsibility of police and the community. Islamabad Police has now introduced a "safe Home Scheme" for the residents of the city. It was formally launched on 18th. July, 2000 in F-11 Sector as pilot project. - 26 -
2.6.2.3.
STAKE HOLDERS This figure shows the Stake Holders of this scheme and their relations:
2.6.2.4.
POLICE SUPPORT In order to encourage the public for taking above mentioned security measures we have offered that if any Sector where group of 100 houses adopt the "Safe Home Scheme", Islamabad Police will deploy one police officer exclusively for that locality. He would be responsible for resolving their policed related problems including verification of servants, character certificate facilitation in getting their driving licenses etc. 2.6.2.5.
SECURITY STEPS
Following are the few security measures which are suggested and recommended for the community:I) II) III) IV) VI) 2.6.3.
Reciprocal Bell (Neighbors can be your strength) Burglar Alarm (Unnerve the thief) Structural Arrangements (Deny all opportunities to criminals) Fish Eye/Door Chain (Beware of strangers) Gates and Lights (Open gate and darkness attract criminals) Domestic Servants (Trust but after verification) CAR SAFETY PLAN
Every year around 11000 vehicles worth Rs.2.00 billion are stolen in Pakistan. The stolen vehicles are either resold to innocent buyers or used in some nefarious activity. It has been recorded that stolen vehicles are used to facilitate heinous crimes like murder, robbery/ dacoity, kidnapping/ abduction, drug trafficking etc. It is, therefore, logical that the owner/user of such a vehicles is ostensibly linked with the crime and the poor fellow is caught between two fires; one earlier loss of the vehicle and the other getting the burden of proving his innocence with respect to the crime committed in which his stolen vehicle was used. In both the cases victims are the innocent citizens. The motor vehicle is probably the second largest investment most of us make and due to carelessness and lethargy do not protect it and when it is lost we are pained and repent. A study carried out reveals that 60% car thieves are bailed out within a month of the incident or earlier to join again the cycle of car theft. This warrants a serious thought to amend the relevant law for a deterrent effect. Any one individual or agency working alone cannot prevent the crime. It is always the collaborative efforts of all the stake holders that pay dividends. It requires the police and citizens to work in partnership to check the possibility of such an occurrence. It goes without saying that opportunity is an inalienable component for perpetration of an offence. There is a considered view that every offender seeks and tries to find an opportunity to actuate his designs. If this opportunity is denied, his malafide intention remains abortive. The community policing strategy, policing for prevention, provides many ways for police and community to work together to prevent crime and build safer neighbour-hoods. This plan - 27 -
deals with one of those efforts in collaboration for saving the cars from being stolen and offers few security tips and a number of other services useful for avoiding being trapped in doubtful investment. The number and kind of security device needed for vehicle varies depending on type of the vehicle and demographic location. Financial position and personal preferences also count in selecting such an implement for the vehicle. In view of all these circumstances the Capital Police has initiated Car Safety Plan (CSP). 2.6.3.1.
CONCEPT
The basic theme of this service devolves on the concept of "target hardening" adopted the world over as a successful strategy. The essence of the concept is to fortify target vulnerable to crime and thus deny opportunity to the criminal to offend against them. 2.6.3.2.
STAKE HOLDERS Figure shows the stake holders of this plan:
2.6.4.
TRAFFIC POLICE HELP LINE
As the name suggests Traffic Help Line has been devised for alleviating the difficulties through cooperation of all the stake holders - the transporters, the road users and the police. To consider and resolve the roadside complaints, a centre has been established in Aabpara where a joint committee comprising representatives of all the stake holders has been constituted. The committee also takes stock of the irritants in the flow of traffic and makes recommendations for their removal. Another purpose that it serves is the creation of awareness in the public and better traffic management. - 28 -
2.6.5.
FORENSIC SCIENCE LAB
A mini forensic science laboratory was established in the Police Line Headquarters with proficient staff trained in Police College Sihala. Presently it has following six operational sections. 2.6.5.1.
METAL ERASURE DETECTION SECTION
This section has the expertise in detecting any tempering with the chassis or engine numbers of the vehicles suspected to be the subject of theft. The car lifters very often through a crude method change the said numbers to evade detection. However by metal erasure process we can detect tempering of number howsoever artfully it is done. 2.6.5.2.
PHOTOGRAPHY SECTION
Photography is of great assistance in the field of crime. The crime scene and persons around are depicted in photographs. The individuals visible in photographs some times turn out to be the offenders or witness connected with the crime. In all such cases a photograph serves as documentary evidence of a fairly reliable nature. Photographs besides a score of other matters are also used to show the tempered numbers of the vehicles suspected to be stolen. 2.6.5.3.
TOXICOLOGY SECTION
This section has been raised on the basis of knowledge gained on the study of poisons. This knowledge is used to detect the administration of poisons to a human resulting in his death. The specimens contents of stomach blood or stools are studies here to determine if the decease of poisoned. 2.6.5.4.
FINGER PRINTS SECTION
This section is meant for detecting criminals by comparing the prints lifted from the crime scene with those of suspects in custody. This is a perfect method and is based on the universal truth that two individual never have had identical prints since the creation of the world and it will remain so up to its extinction. 2.6.5.5.
HAND WRITING SECTION
In this section proved hand writing of persons is compared with that of the suspect to infer if he was the author of both. However, this is considered to be a weak piece of evidence. 2.6.5.6.
FIREARM SECTION
- 29 -
In this section, ballistic experts work to determine whether the weapons recovered from the accused was also used in the commission of crime under investigation. They through their knowledge are able to opinion about the range trajectory/ angle and distance of fire from the object/victim of crime. Such expert’s opinion is of remarkable assistance in homicidal cases in which fire -arms are used. 2.6.6.
PUBLIC CONCILIATORY COMMITTEE
2.6.6.1.
FRIENDLY POLICING ECOLOGY
Policing in a Public Friendly Ecology is a philosophy and not a specific tactic, which sees policing as an integrated activity that is proactive, community oriented, designed to reduce crime, disorder, and fear of crime, by intensely involving the same officer in the same community on a long-term basis, so that residents develop a trust to cooperate with police by providing information and assistance to achieve those three crucial goals. 2.6.6.2.
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Throughout the country the criminal justice system is in a state of crisis. The public is fearful and angry. Practitioners are weary and frustrated. Criminal justice policy is driven more by anecdote than systematic information. Costs of current policies are not sustainable over long periods. Victims are often re-victimized in the process. This widespread sense of dissatisfaction has caused a fundamental rethinking of our criminal justice system and the formulation of an alternate approach to criminal justice called restorative justice. For over a long period concerned individuals have been working to develop the theory and practice of restorative justice, but despite the obvious shortcomings of the current system, these efforts have left the mainstream of criminal justice practice largely unaffected. The potential of restorative practices to transform criminal justice can only be realized if those practices move from the periphery to the mainstream. To accomplish this, it is necessary to build a broad base of support for restorative justice principles and practices. Because restorative justice is grounded in community involvement, it is not possible to implement a comprehensive restorative system without community ownership and support. Restorative justice is defined by several key principles around which community support can be built. Restorative justice is not a specific program or set of programs; it is a way of thinking about responding to the problem of crime, a set of values that guides decisions on policy, programs and practice. Restorative justice is based on the redefinition of crime as injury to the victim and community, rather than as effrontery to the power of the state. The primary purpose of justice in the restorative model is to repair the harm of the crime to whatever degree possible. The Concept, on which the Conciliatory Committee in Islamabad works, is Victim Offender Mediation that is a part of Restorative Justice Paradigm. Victim Offender Mediation programmes (V.O.M.P), also known as Victim Offender Reconciliation Programmes (V.O.R.P) bring offenders face to face with the victim of their crimes with the assistance of a mediator, usually community volunteers. Crime is personalized as offender learns the human consequences of their actions, and victims (who are largely ignored by the criminal justice system) have the opportunity - 30 -
to speak their minds and their feelings to the one who most ought to hear them, contributing to the healing process of the victim. Offenders take meaningful responsibility for their actions by mediating a restitution agreement with the victim, to restore the victim's losses, in whatever may be possibly. Restitution may be monitory or symbolic; it may consist of work for the victim, community service or any thing else that creates a sense of justice between the victim and the offender. PARADIGM OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE From the establishment of respective P.C.Cs finalized 1143 cases in all Police Stations. This quantum of workload is almost equivalent to the cases registered in such Police Stations. It is also gratifying to note that in all cases referred to P.C.C resulted into amicable patch up amongst the parties. Following is the Police Station-wise performance of the committees till August, 2001:Table. 19 (Police Station-wise performance)
