Description

The author very critically and analytically examines the various aspects of the policing in Indian context. The book also briefly, but lucidly deals with the police force and policing in United States, Britain, Australia and Latin America. The author also managed to detect the various obstacles being faced by the police force in the area of free investigation and how their confidence and morale are eroded. The book also maps out the ways for police force to tackle and combat the terrorists and terrorism in very effective manner. The need of the proper training for the police force is also stressed very rightly. The unnecessary adversary between press and police force is corroborated by the author very convincingly.
