About the Book

This book is a collection of fourteen well-researched essays and an equal number of insightful articles that examine some major ills that plague policing in India today. Starting with the colonial origins of the Indian police and dealing with issues of police brutality, corruption, bias, impunity and militarisation, this book reveals how the current police system in India results in a denial of justice to people, subverts the rule of law, and obstructs the growth of a healthy and professional police force. An important premise uniting these essays is that the Indian police function less to serve the rule of law and more to secure the interests of the dominant group or regime in power. Initiatives to reform the police have failed largely because those who control the system lack the will to reform it, as they have a vested interest in maintaining status quo. This has spawned a number of ills that have not only ruined the police system but also damaged the very core of India's democracy. Written by one of India's leading experts on police reforms, this perceptive book argues that the need for police reform is too important to be neglected and too urgent to be delayed.

About the Author:

G.P. Joshi joined the police way back in the sixties after doing his graduation from St. Stephens College and post-graduation from the Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi. He worked in the Tripura Police and the Border Security Force before finally joining the Bureau of Police Research and Development, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, from where he retired as Director in the rank of Inspector General of Police. In recognition of his contributions in the field of police research, the Government of India awarded him the Police Medal for Meritorious Service and the President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service.

After retirement, he joined the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI), an international NGO based in New Delhi. He designed its police reforms programme and worked on it for about nine years, taking it to a point where the CHRI came to be recognised as a leading organisation working towards police reform in India and other commonwealth countries. Mr. Joshi has written extensively on police reform issues. His articles and research papers have been published in newspapers and journals both in India and abroad.
