Deterioration of Police Legitimacy in India: A Pragmatic Study

Author(s) Ramakrishna Das PR
Country India
Abstract Law and order are crucial to the existence of a functional democracy and a civilized society. An efficient, competent, and accountable police administration is one of the most crucial institutions of the state as it serves as the tool for preserving the rule of law. The police are the closest representatives of the State to the general people, and as such, they are the principal enforcers of the law. Naturally, their actions and the way they carry out their responsibilities have a major and immediate impact on people's safety and the state's commitment to democracy. Therefore, it is undeniable that strong democratic administration requires the responsibility and integrity of police officers and the institution of Police. Paradoxically, the institution meant to safeguard the life and liberty of the common citizen and enforce their legal rights has become the most stressed threat to the same due to bad trends in police behaviour and the subsequent implications of the same in society. The police force, with its broad responsibility for maintaining law and order and investigation, has been misusing those powers for decades. The people's saviours have turned into their worst enemies because they are the protectors of the law. People's faith in the promised democratic society grounded on the rule of law has eroded as a result of this general trend toward viewing the police as a force to be scared of rather than a reliable protecting institution. In this research paper, the author discusses the necessity of having a legitimized policed with high accountability.
