Discipline And Indiscipline

No Uniform Scheme Of Disciplinary Control Existed Until The Police Force Was Reorganized In The Sixties Of The Last Century, After The Sepoy Mutiny, On The Basis Of The Recommendations Of The Indian Police Commission Of 1860. In A Large Force Like The Police, Discipline Is Necessary And This Must Be Enforced By Law. There Is, Therefore, A Legislation For The Regulation Of Police, Which Is Known As The Police Act Of 1861. The Act Lays Down Disciplinary Powers Of Superior Police Officers And Magistrates, And Specifies The Punishments That Can Be Inflicted On A Police Officer Found Guilty Of Any Violation Of Duty Or Willful Breach Of Neglect Of Any Rule Of Regulation Or Lawful Order Made By A Competent Authority Or Who Shall Withdraw From Duties Of His Office.Discipline, Principles Of Police Conduct; Powers And Duties Of Police; Police Accountability; Corruption In Police; Torture In Police Custody; Violence By Police; Political Interference And Misuse Of Police; Winds Of Trade Unionism In Police; Judicial Response To Police Independence And Lawlessness; Welfare Measures For Police Families; Reformative Role Of Police; Concept Of Policing In A Welfare State; Police And Students; Policepublic Relations; And Policing In 2100 A.D.
