Towards a 'New Professionalism' in Policing: An Indian Perspective

Author(s)	Ramakrishna Das PR

Abstract	The success or failure of a criminal justice system is mainly determined by the conduct of a disciplined and professional police force. The professionalism of the police can be evaluated based on three criteria: the maintenance of law and order, the quality of investigations, and the contacts between the public and the police. According to various studies and assessments, police professionalism in India is not sufficient and is below average based on the above factors. The government frequently upgrades their employment status as part of efforts to reform the police system and boost professionalism. Frequent police training aids in the development of professionalism and discipline. Despite these attempts, police performance, even after 70 years of independence, lacks genuine professionalism in its structure. As a result, it has become a research issue to ponder the true problem behind India's low level of professionalism. This article focuses on police professionalism in India, police failures, and police reforms to increase professionalism.
