Police Reforms

IPS officer Prakash Singh’s historical book about policing in India makes it clear that muscular and well-armed police cannot be expected to change to a people’s police without high level statesmanship

The National Crime Records Bureau’s latest data for 2020 is worrisome in many respects. As compared to last year, there has been an increase of 28 percent in the total cases of crimes in the country. The number of cases registered under the SC/ST sections has also increased last year. Uttar Pradesh tops the list in crimes against women.

An application has been filed in the Supreme Court making suggestions for effective implementation of Supreme Court’s guidelines in Prakash Singh & Ors vs Union of India, with respect to police reforms.

Wrongful prosecution by the police, prison sentences by judges in a hurry or under duress from Executive bullying, incarceration without bail and pending trial are some of the horrors that continue to plague the overburdened and undernourished legal system in India
