Revisiting Police Social Work in India: An Agenda of Human Rights 110 Dr. Kamlesh Kumar Editorial The Indian Police Journal has created its own readership among Police professional, Forensic Practitioners, H R Manager and in the field of Correctional Administration. It has been continuous endeavour of the Bureau of Police Research & Development to enrich the readers with quality articles on the various issues like Police Administration, Management, Forensic, H R Policies and Practices, Cyber Security and in the area of Policing. Through Indian Police Journal we are striving hard to promote high degree of Professionalism among the Police practitioners in the field. In this edition through the article “Human Rights in Terrorist and Insurgency Situations” the writer has highlighted the issues of Human Rights and the Challenges before the Police Personnel in terrorist and insurgency infested areas. He has poignantly raised the dilemma about the extent and quantum of force they can use while dealing with terrorist / extremist outfits. The plight of the Indian soldiers while performing bona fide duties in upholding the sovereignty and integrity of the nation by constant persecution and prosecution has been adequately highlighted by the Author for a larger debate and discussion. He has also highlighted the need to strike a balance between the security concerns and the human rights consideration. In the article “Policing the Police – Need for Judicial Vigilance” the author elicits the necessity of having monitoring and control instrument on the discretionary powers exercised by the police that typically invite arbitrariness. In the article “A review of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act 1986” the writer has critically reviewed the provisions of Immoral Traffic Act 1986 and brought out certain anomalies and recommended certain ways and means to remove it. Lack of a correct definition of ‘Trafficking’ being one of the lacunae and certain other acts are not clearly defined. The author has focussed on 7 major lacunae in the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act 1986. Prominently, the rights of victims have not been clearly defined. In the article “Are Women Offenders in India a ‘Category’ in Crime?” the writer has raised the issue related with involvement of women into different kinds of crime. Though female offend less than men, it has been observed that there has been upward trend of crime by women from 3.1 % in 1990, progressively increasing to 10.2 % in 2014. In the article “Psychological Well-Being of Police Functionaries” the writer has researched that to have a police force which is satisfied with its life, average performance are motivated and given rigorous work training and rigorous work training and rotational workshops need to be organized with high performers to instil morale in low performers. In the article “Crypto-Currency and it’s Challenges” the writer has touched the emerging issues of Crypto-Currency and it’s Policy implication. In the article “Developing Paradigms of Drowning Deaths in the State of Haryana, India” the writer has studied the death by drowning, the second major cause of unnatural deaths in the State of Haryana. He has evaluated the common contributing factor for drowning incidences – males were more prone to drowning compared to females. Mode or manner of drowning in around 68% has remained unknown and accidental drowsing has been the major cause of death. Most of the drowning has taken place in canals. The article on “Small Particle Reagent Technique for Detection of Latent Fingerprints” delves deep into the fingerprint development techniques especially on wet non-porous items even with weak and faint impressions. In the article “Law Reform Research on Female Child Marriages in India” the writer has flagged the issue related to child marriage and the legal provision available for protection from child marriage. In the article “Whether India is ready for Online FIRs” the writer has examined the availability of registration of online FIRs and juxtaposed it with the present system as envisaged in Sec. 154 Cr.PC. He has emphasized that there should not be any requirement of a preliminary inquiry before registration. Online FIRs would eliminate the discretion with police in delaying or non-registration of FIRs. In the article “Analysis of Relationship between Hawala & Terror Finance in Indian Context” the writer has analysed the relation between Hawala & Terror funding.

    Volume-04 ISSN: 2455-3085 (Online) Issue-12 RESEARCH REVIEW International Journal of Multidisciplinary December -2019 www.rrjournals.com[Peer Reviewed Journal] Terrorism, Human Rights and Peace in Kashmir (Learning from the Punjab Experience) Dr. Malkit Singh Assistant Professor, Department of Human Rights DAV College for Girls, Yamuna Nagar (India) ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Article History This paper argues that human rights are the basic of the human governance and good Published Online: 16 Dec 2019 governance is possible only in the peaceful and progressive environment. Terrorism is dangerous to both the human rights and peace. Unfortunately the issue of human Keywords rights is over politicised and sometimes it is used by the vested interests to derail the Human rights, Peace, Kashmir government measures to establish peace, law and order, which is basic requirement for the protection of human rights and governance. The vociferous campaign of some National and International Human Rights Group along with some political parties in opposition on the issue of violation of human rights by the security measures in Kashmir especially after the revocation of the Article 370 are analysed under the above context. While referring to the measures which were taken by the central government to established peace in Punjab just in the neighboring state of J&K then, paper holds that the strong measures against the terrorism are necessary measures to secure the human rights of the common citizens in Kashmir. This paper also exposes the dubious character of the some national and international human rights groups along with the political parties in opposition that are more worried about the right to freedom of expression instead of the right to life in a volatile situation like in Kashmir.

  • I. INTRODUCTION the Police Personnel Have a Vital Role in a Parliamentary Democracy
    Bureau of Police Research & Development I. INTRODUCTION The police personnel have a vital role in a parliamentary democracy. The society perceives them as custodians of law and order and providing safety and security to all. This essentially involves continuous police-public interface. The ever changing societal situation in terms of demography, increasing rate and complexity of crime particularly of an organized nature and also accompanied by violence, agitations, violent demonstrations, variety of political activities, left wing terrorism, insurgency, militancy, enforcement of economic and social legislations, etc. have further added new dimensions to the responsibilities of police personnel. Of late, there has been growing realization that police personnel have been functioning with a variety of constraints and handicaps, reflecting in their performance, thus becoming a major concern for both central and state governments. In addition, there is a feeling that the police performance has been falling short of public expectations, which is affecting the overall image of the police in the country. With a view to making the police personnel more effective and efficient especially with reference to their, professionalism and public interface several initiatives have been launched from time to time. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India, the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the SVP National Police Academy (NPA) have initiated multi- pronged strategies for the overall improvement in the functioning of police personnel. The major focus is on, to bring about changes in the functioning of police personnel to basically align their role with the fast changing environment.

  • Police Odganisation in India
    POLICE ORGANISATION IN INDIA i Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) is an independent, non-partisan, international non-governmental organisation, mandated to ensure the practical realisation of human rights in the countries of the Commonwealth. In 1987, several Commonwealth professional associations founded CHRI. They believed that while the Commonwealth provided member countries a shared set of values and legal principles from which to work and provided a forum within which to promote human rights, there was little focus on the issues of human rights within the Commonwealth. CHRI’s objectives are to promote awareness of and adherence to the Commonwealth Harare Principles, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other internationally recognised human rights instruments, as well as domestic instruments supporting human rights in Commonwealth Member States. Through its reports and periodic investigations, CHRI continually draws attention to progress and setbacks to human rights in Commonwealth countries. In advocating for approaches and measures to prevent human rights abuses, CHRI addresses the Commonwealth Secretariat, Member Governments and civil society associations. Through its public education programmes, policy dialogues, comparative research, advocacy and networking, CHRI’s approach throughout is to act as a catalyst around its priority issues. CHRI is based in New Delhi, India, and has offices in London, UK and Accra, Ghana. International Advisory Commission: Yashpal Ghai - Chairperson.

Building the Resilience of India’s Internal Security Apparatus ABSTRACT 26 November 2018 marked a decade since 10 Pakistan-based terrorists killed over 160 people in India’s financial capital of Mumbai. The city remained under siege for days, and security forces disjointedly struggled to improvise a response. The Mumbai tragedy was not the last terrorist attack India faced; there have been many since. After every attack, the government makes lukewarm attempts to fit episodic responses into coherent frameworks for security-system reforms. Yet, any long-term strategic planning, which is key, remains absent.

  • Security Related Matters
    www.thehindu.com 2017-11-1 Solving the autonomy puzzle Have you noticed how sometimes politicians prefer to quarrel with what their opponents have said — even if in the process they misunderstand and misrepresent — rather than comprehend an important point made by an adversary? The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) response to former Union Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram’s recent comment on Kashmiri demands is a striking example. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley have claimed Mr. Chidambaram was advocating azaadi and criticised him for it. But he wasn’t. In fact, he said something subtly but significantly different. When Kashmiris call for azaadi, he claimed, they in fact mean autonomy. Perhaps the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister missed the point? In the first instance, Mr. Chidambaram was reading down the cry for azaadi. He was suggesting the word is a rhetorical flourish to attract attention. For most — if not the majority of — Kashmiris, it’s a way of asking for autonomy. He was, therefore, indicating an escape route from the present impasse between the Kashmiri people, who demand azaadi, and a government determined not to concede it. At a deeper level, Mr. Chidambaram was also alluding to the fact that the autonomy Kashmiris want is something they actually had in the early years after accession and which successive governments in Delhi whittled down. This is what he meant when he said, “The demand in the Kashmir Valley is to respect, in letter and spirit, Article 370.” Sadly, last week he didn’t make this point fully clear.
