Rulings onPOLICE
As a key agency of the Criminal Justice administration the Police is
responsible for performing multi-faceted functions such' as' the prevention
of crime, maintenance of law and order, conduct of investigation of crimes,
production of undertrials before the Courts and post sentence survillence
over the criminals: etc. In view of the functional' peculiarities the Police
tends to become the frontal' formal agency to come in contact, with the raw
realities a/crime including the accused and the victims. All this makes the
Police not only an all pervasive criminal justice agency but also exposes it
to frequent social censures both of formal as well as informal nature, and
makes them the centre of lot of controversies regarding their professional
roles. #pdf
