Background: The coastal areas of Bangladesh are prone to multiple threats such as cyclones, storm surges and floods, as well as earthquakes, tsunamis, and above all, climate change. These types of disaster hamper the human lives and community order. The local police force of Bangladesh has to take some seasonal actions controlling the human behavior in during and post disasters period in the coastal areas on Bangladesh.
Objective: The main focus of the study is to know how disasters and crimes are interrelated and what forms of crime are being done in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. The present study is conducted to know this involving the police force activities in the by taking the perception of the community people perceptions as well as the tentative suggestions by the mass people how to change the situations for a better milieu.
Methods and tools: This were a mixed method study conducted among 385 study subjects residing in coastal areas of Bangladesh. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview schedule by maintaining purposive sampling method through face-to-face interview sessions.
Results: A number of 89.01% (male) and 82.15% (female) respondents of the coastal areas mentioned that they have to face tidal mostly in the terms of natural disaster. The study shows that 98.32% are committed to act of stealing (family goods, fish, trees, etc.), 59.20% committed to torture women and children, 86.37% captured the neighbors’ goods and resources. Picture of crimes that were done by the local people in post-disaster in the coastal areas notably 89.36% involved in stealing and quarreling, 84.21% terrorism for money, 98.24% in the name of relief, 68.32% exchanged goods ill-legally, 42.52% sexual harassed and 58.64% ill-legal possession of land. Regarding police assistance, 26.35% respondents were helped to obey the laws, 36.95% harassed by the local police force, 53.24% faced bribe questions in the name of service, 58.03% no helped from the police force, 54.76% mentioned police didn’t come to the disasters spot, 49.38% mentioned police helped to control the armed robbers, 65.96% happy to get the service from the village police force, 59.37% said police force avoided the demand of mass people.
The physical geography of Bangladesh’s coastal areas is more diverse and dynamic as generally recognized. The coastal areas of Bangladesh are affected by natural disasters, land erosion and land subsidence, doing crime and recidivisms, etc. are the common picture of the coastal areas. Controlling the social and legal order for the betterment of the society’s people, the police force is engaged to maintain the situations that are occurred by the impact of disasters in the coastal areas. The coastal areas of Bangladesh are facing the terms of crime in a new form that makes hampered the normal livelihood pattern of the disaster-prone community people. The police force of coastal areas is taken new forms of activities controlling crimes related human behavior in order to make the social peace in the community level. When disasters strike communities, people largely pull together. In the wake of devastating events like earthquakes, big fires, or hurricanes, they look for ways to support one another, protect what remains, and re-establish a sense of normalcy (Kelly et al, 2015). A few people in disaster areas turn to anti-social activities, including crime. Uplifting cooperation follows community disasters, but so do looting; sexual assaults, acts of domestic violence, and fraud. Understanding these phenomena will aid the development of effective strategies to prevent antisocial actions when future disasters strike (Mileti & Dennis 1999). Researchers have learned that each major type of crime or antisocial behavior must be understood in its own terms. News reports often feature instances of looting in the wake of disasters that force many residents away from their homes and businesses. However, determining whether looting has actually occurred can be difficult. Physical damage caused by the disaster itself may give a false appearance that looting has happened (Roy et al, 2009). Women coping with disasters may be forced into vulnerable situations, including when they try to find food and other necessities for their families or look for shelter or transportation out of a stricken area. All such endeavors can put women in contact with strangers, which increases their risk of being raped or assaulted. In addition, it is not uncommon for women in disruptive circumstances to be raped or sexually assaulted by people they know, even people with whom they have established relationships (Mileti & Dennis, 1999). Indeed, many studies find that domestic violence increases exponentially in the wake of a community disaster. The present study is focused on the crimes in the coastal areas caused by disasters highlighting the police force activities taking the mass people perceptions as well as the stakeholder’s opinions.
This study is perception-based opinion survey in nature and follows mixed method approach such as quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative method is used to investigate the functions of police in the disaster’s situation in the coastal areas of Bangladesh taking interview by the inhabitants of selected coastal areas. On the other hand, qualitative method is used to know the inherent facts from the stakeholders (members of local police force, elected political leaders, community leaders, senior citizens, local doctors, teachers, journalists, women representatives, lawyers, GO body in locally, NGO workers/human rights activist, social service activists, etc.) in order to cross the data making a proactive social policy changing the situations and to hope a crime free society in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. The coastal areas of Bangladesh are the research area, but considering the communication, police functions in the coastal areas, heavily disasters affected areas is counted as priority-based research areas for collecting data both qualitative and quantitative method. The native people segment of the coastal areas are the research population and every one of them are considered as a unit of data analysis. At the same time, getting the HIDDEN ACTUAL FACTS (HAF) in the coastal areas, some stakeholders in different professions are interviewed following a checklist. Purposive sampling technique was used for collecting sample from the population which was unknown to us in terms of actual figure. It is considered this sampling procedure because it is focuses on specific cases that are dramatic or very important. Now, because of unknown population it is very important to determine representative sample size to conduct this study. Then, the required sample size is calculated as 385. The selected sample was interviewed following a semi-structured interview schedule by maintaining purposive sampling method through face-to-face interview sessions. Ten (10) KII (Key Informants Interview) were conducted gathering the stakeholders (identity of stakeholders is mentioned in Research Approach) in the selected coastal areas who are capable to define cause-effect relationships between disaster and crime in the coastal area.

The study is conducted to know the relationship between disaster and crime in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. In the period of data collection procedure, some issues are observed in the coastal areas that interrelated in the livelihood pattern of coastal people. The people of coastal areas are facing the disaster and its impact from the long time. The coastal people are capable more than previous period because they are known how to face the disaster its related factors from the multi-dimensional institutions which are working the in the coastal areas. In some cases, the coastal people are annoyed to local police force due to their (police) late responses to combat the disaster oriented crimes. On the other hand, the coastal people’s perception are being changed day by day towards police force because of they (police) are trying to serve the local people in the durations of natural and man-made catastrophes. Bangladesh with a huge population is situated in a geographical position which is called disaster prone country internationally (Babul et al, 2020). Due to fragile geographical location, the people of Bangladesh are facing the disasters frequently. The people of disaster prone areas have scope hardly to change their fate and position by the own resources as well as capacity. By the Govt. programs and NGOs initiatives, the situation is changed slowly but proper way. Floods are a common disaster in the coastal areas of Bangladesh (Parvin et al, 2008). The history of floods in Bangladesh captures tragic documents for the people. Floods are the most frequent disasters in Bangladesh, causing immense suffering to a large number of people, damaging infrastructure and other resources. Roughly one-third of the country become severely affected by floods while the catastrophic floods of 1988, 1998, 2004, and 2007 caused inundation of more than 60 percent of the country's land (Nasreen, 2017: February 26, The Daily Star). The four types of flooding in Bangladesh include flash floods caused by overflowing of hilly rivers of eastern and northern Bangladesh; rain floods caused by drainage congestion and heavy rain falls; river floods during monsoon season; and coastal floods caused by storm surges. The causes behind the floods of Bangladesh indicate the natural and human influenced factors. Crime and recidivisms in the coastal area are done mostly due to floods. And the floods also make the other problems that stimulate the human of doing crimes such as river erosion, damaging embankments, damaged standing crops and infrastructures in the coastal areas. Disasters in coastal areas of Bangladesh create a vulnerable situation on the human life, social and cultural progress. Disasters also make favorable environment of doing crimes in the coastal areas though these types of crimes are non-serious criteria in most of cases. The police force of south Asian countries has taken some pertinent programs to save the human of disaster prone areas. Though the action of programs of the countries is varied because of the situation and causes of disasters as well as the human movement are also different from one to one. Geographically, Bangladesh is a land of disaster prone and the disaster (both natural and man-made) for Bangladesh is a curse for the mass people particularly the people in the coastal areas. The mass people have to face any type of disaster in anytime. Considering the consequences of
disasters, the field based professions are involved to rescue the affected people as well as to control the public procurement for the batter safety. In the legal aspects of disasters management of Bangladesh has specified some roles for police department considering the overall disasters situation. The prime objectives involving the police force in disaster management are to: (a) engage the police force in emergency responses in disasters, rescue and rehabilitation programs in post disasters, (b) take the professional actions for the field level police unit increasing the working skills. Actually, there is no research report and documents on the police role in disasters prone areas. Form the daily newspaper, some information is collected but it is not enough according to the role of police. In Bangladesh, the police of local level have performed lot of activities to save the disaster affected people, and it is recognized in national and international level. The country of Japan in South Asia has faced disaster as daily events. The police department of Japan government has taken some pertinent programs and actions that recover the people from any undesirable situations as like crimes. The disaster affected people in Japan are well trained by the local police force in the question of how to tackle the disaster situation. And the police force of Japan has conducted some preventive parameters to control the human behaviors as if any unexpected situation is not done. The police force of Japan has made a model how to control the human ill motive as like crimes in the period of disasters, and it (model) is used in many countries. For the better improvement, the Bangladesh police force may be introduced the model in controlling the field situation. Disasters promote criminal behaviors among the human in the disaster affected areas. In some cases, crimes welcome disasters both man-made and natural. An article written by Fullerton et al (2003) is published on the disasters and crimes situation in the disaster-prone country, and has declared that disaster is an event that more or less depends on the human behavior. Local people of disaster affected areas have done some unethical activities that will damage the normalcy of the mass people. The study is guided by a clear methodological direction but the field situation makes some difficulties that intervenes the study perceptions, and it is called the limitations of the study. The present study is conducted to know the role of police force in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. When it is said for the respondents, it is a fearing issue for the local people. The local people, in some cases, feel uneasy to provide the actual situation with data collectors. Second limitation of the study is desperate weather in the data collection period in the research areas. For that the data collectors are faced some painful environments to meet with the local people known as respondents in the study. The police force is treated as study stakeholders but in the interviewing session the police force is controlled themselves not to open the actual situations that are done in the coastal areas.
Disasters in coastal areas of Bangladesh create a vulnerable situation on the human life, social and cultural progress. Disasters also make favorable environment of doing crimes in the coastal areas though these types of crimes are non-serious criteria in most of cases. This study concluded a thing that the local people of disaster affected coastal areas are committed to act of stealing in most of the cases. They had to face tidal mostly in the terms of natural disaster.
This was a self-funding study. There was no conflict of interest.
