Title-7: Urban Vulnerability, Crime and Community Safety: Policing Dynamics in Bihari Settlements of Dhaka (Bihari Camp, Mirpur and Geneva Camp, Mohammadpur). Background: Bihari Camp in Mirpur and Geneva Camp in Mohammadpur are among Dhaka’s largest and oldest Bihari settlements. Despite the recognition of citizenship rights for camp-born residents in 2008, these communities continue to experience significant socioeconomic and institutional vulnerabilities. High population density, unemployment, limited educational and livelihood opportunities, inadequate public services, and informal governance structures contribute to a complex security environment. Common concerns include drug abuse and trafficking, theft, gambling, extortion, interpersonal violence, and juvenile delinquency. The densely built environment, narrow lanes, and restricted police mobility further complicate conventional law-enforcement activities. Police-community relations are also affected by mistrust and perceptions of discrimination and institutional neglect, which may discourage crime reporting and cooperation with law enforcement. Community-Oriented Policing (COP), with its emphasis on partnership, trust-building, problem-solving, and proactive engagement, may provide an effective response to these challenges. This study will comparatively examine urban vulnerability, crime patterns, community safety, and policing dynamics in the two camps and assess how community-oriented policing can strengthen crime prevention, police-community cooperation, and residents’ well-being.
