<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;
font-family:&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">It is the tragedy of our times that while the
police are considered to be valuable and necessary for society, very often it is
the object not of affection but of criticism, if not outright aversion. This
perplexing situation finds expression even in the very title of the book
"The Police Edifice Standing or Crumbling". The authors, Shri S.A.
Khan and Ms. Anuradha Bhandari in a way pose a question for our reflection and
plead for action. We are broadly familiar with the history of police reforms in
U.K. and U.S.A. There may not be as many complaints in these countries as in
ours against the police. The reasons for the same though the complex is not
difficult to understand. The functioning of any wing of administration or
governance is conditioned primarily by the constitutional and political system as
well as the state of civic consciousness among citizens and their assertive
awareness of their rights. Another important factor is the identification of
the role, the adequate identification of the profile suitable to fill that role
and the exacting efforts needed through scientific recruitment methods and
meticulous training and its quality to accomplish the mandated role. The
objective of the learned authors has been to lay their finger on this Achilles
heel of the police system and its working.</span></p>
