Political Violence and the Police in India2007

"Increasing political violence in India is challenging the government's ability to resolve conflicts democratically. In this book, author K. S. Subramanian sketches the growing crisis of governance by assessing the Central and state governments' police organizations, especially key central agencies such as the Intelligence Bureau, the Central Paramilitary Forces and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. With police reform being a major public concern, police research is gaining importance as a field of study. This book will appeal to students of criminal justice, sociology, public policy and public administration, as well as policy makers, police and administrative officers, and human rights activists."--BOOK JACKET.
