In 2005, about 23% of the surveyed households expressed a great deal of confidence in the police; over 49% only some confidence; and 28% hardly any confidence. Among Muslims, too, the highest share was of those with only some confidence (50%), which rose moderately in 2012. Christians offer a striking contrast, with the highest share of those with only some confidence (57%), which fell sharply (to 49%). While the shares of Muslims and Christians with a great deal of confidence rose markedly, that of Hindus rose slightly. Among them, the share of those with a great deal of confidence rose (16% to 22%).
