The Police in India is an attempt to find out the realistic role of police functionaries, the Criminal Justice System, and the reciprocal response of the public in the maintenance of law and order, public peace and tranquility, and their efforts in controlling criminal, anti-social, and anti-national elements threatening the well-being of the society and the country. It is neither a ‘Police Jargon’, nor a departmental guide. It only contains an analytical study of the attitude of the government, political parties, public, press, and above all, the policemen themselves in their efforts to enforce efficiently the laws of the land. Apart from these aspects, a comprehensive account of all the functions of the Police Force, including their ‘WOES’, have been given.
The ardent objective of this book is to usher in the operational existence of a really worthy, reliable, humane, efficient, and honest Police Force, free from any kind of interference from any quarter, and competent and capable enough in the lawful and unbiased discharge of their functions enjoined on them by the law of the land. This book is very unique in the entire range of Police Literature and could prove to be a good guide to the public at large.
