Notes for Contributors 90 Editorial The spectre of terrorism has been haunting world in general and India in particular for last few decades. It has come to forefront in new millennium with “Cataclysmic” terrorist attack on USA in September, 2001, what is known as 9/11. Though our country has been subjected to series of terrorist attacks for more than two decades, resulting from our neighbours pursuing terrorism as instrument of state’s policy, it caught Nation’s attention in wake of attack on Parliament on 13 December, 2002. The Mumbai attack last year shook not only the entire India but its tremors were felt across the world. However, there are some positive trends as far as terrorism and its containment is concerned. According to RAND-MIPT, while there is no “upward trend in the international incidents of terrorism, domestic terrorist incidents are much more numerous than international incidents.” Despite this optimism, terrorism has no borderline and it is very difficult to categorise it as international and domestic incident wise. Even so called domestic incidents have international inputs and players, as was the case in Mumbai attack and even international incidents may be viewed or aimed at domestic constituency as was the case in the 9/11. Even London or Madrid or Lahore attack may be termed international as well as domestic. It is akin to terming and classifying ‘good’ and ‘bad’ terrorist as is being done by some nations to suit their geo-political interests. This kind of approach is not going to help in curbing terrorism. Terrorism has both domestic and international ramifications, as well as players and inputs. It is misnomer to categorize it into domestic and international or ‘good or bad’ or ‘freedom-fighter’ or ‘Jehadi’. The terrorism must be seen as terrorism, nothing else whatever justification or provocation may be. A terrorist is a terrorist, terrorism is terrorism, whether domestic or international or good or bad. This compartmentalized approach to terrorism has done much harm to our campaign against terrorism and has demoralized our forces and policy makers. Moreover, we must act ourselves instead of hoping that some other nation shall do our bidding in containing terrorism. If we continue to try half-hearted measures to contain terrorism, we shall get what we have been getting so far ‘sympathy’, ‘hyperbole,’ ‘empty promises’ ‘sermons on patience’. Meanwhile we will continue to bleed profusely. Another misnomer regarding terrorism is containment vs engagement. The terrorist must be contained, engagement would give them time and breathing space to regroup as happened in case of Taliban and terrorist or insurgents operating in North East. Engagement as policy succeeds when the actor is rational to some extent and is open to some sort of negotiation and dialogues. 2â The Indian Police Journal Vol. LVI-No. 2, April-June, 2009 However, we must formulate long-term as well short-term strategy to contain terrorism. Moreover, we should be prepared to sacrifice short-term gain for long-term windfall so far terrorism is concerned. Apart from implementing Police Reform and Police Modernization, there should be concerted efforts to involve community and society in this campaign. The coalescing and synergization of other stakeholders is a must for this purpose. In this issue of IPJ (April-June 2009), some aspects of terrorism have been dealt with. Brigadier M.S. Khara, in his paper, ‘Community Participation in Security against Terrorism’ discusses how act of terrorism can be averted by active participation of community. The paper discusses the modus operandi of terrorist groups and various tell-tale signs which would enable common man to detect a terrorism activity about to take place. The paper urges for active community participation in checking terrorism. Sh. Rajnish Rai, IPS, in his article, ‘Microeconomic Analysis of Terrorism’ presents theoretical aspect of terrorism. He maintains that the direct role of economic factors such as poverty and inequality and policy measures such as sanctions is one way of looking at the issue of terrorism. However, these measures are incomplete. “It is also important to look at how terrorism affects behaviour, how economic concepts can help us understand the behaviour of individuals and organizations that employ the tools of violent terrorism. The utility maximization model provides insights into both terrorist resource allocation choices and counterterrorism efforts, while basic game theory helps characterize the strategic interdependencies among terrorists and governments” Apart from these two papers on terrorism, other aspects of policing such as forensics (‘Advancing Fronts in Forensics’ by B.R. Sharma, ‘Snake Bite Poisoning – A Forensic View’ by Dr. Mithilesh Jha, Dr. A.K. Jaiswal & others, ‘Evidence through Scientific Aid’ by Dr. Sahib Singh Chandana and ‘Forensic Odontology and Human Identity’ by Dr. J.R. Gaur) Correctional administration (‘Astray Socialization of Children in Prison’ by Dr. Deepti), Criminal Justice system (“Plea Bargaining in India” by Dr. Abhimanyu Behra) Money Laundering (‘Drug Trafficking as a Source for Money Laundering by Dr. M. Shrinivasan,) and Left wing Extremism (‘Firearms Used by Naxalites: A Forensic Study’ by Dr. Swaroop Vedanand, Mr. C. Narayan Rao & Mr. O.N. Murthy) have been discussed. We hope that our esteemed readers would be benefited from these articles. The comments and suggestions are welcome Gopal K.N.
