The document discusses the role of police in protecting human rights. It notes that while police are meant to protect citizens, there are often human rights violations by police in India due to issues with their selection, training, and pressures from politicians. This erodes public trust in police. However, respecting human rights can help police gain cooperation, build legal cases, and prevent crime through proactive policing. The document calls for improving police investigative skills and training to strengthen their ability to uphold human rights.

For quite long now, some commentators have oftentimes been lured into confusing the concept and practice of police-public relations with that of police-community relations, community policing, policemedia relations or local vigilantism. Against this backdrop, therefore, this paper examined the state of police– public relations in Nigeria with special focus on how it could be deployed as a potent tool for fighting crime and preventing social disorder in the country. The paper adopted a research methodology of review of extant related literature on the fields of security, public, and policing backed by judgmental content analysis technique. The paper made a number of interesting findings. Prominent among this findings included the fact that Police authorities in Nigeria since 1930, the force was established had made efforts to forge a strong relationship with the public it serves including establishment of such structures and mechanisms like Police Public Complaints Bureau, Police Community Relations Committees and various organs of community-policing projects scattered all over the country. In spite of these efforts, police–public relations in the country had remained sordidly sour, conflictual, and unredeeming. Again, the paper also identified a number of structural, institutional, and attitudinal factors that are responsible for the deteriorating gap in the relationship between the police in Nigeria and members of the public they are hired to serve. These factors include systemic corruption, the very nature of policing in a once colonized state like Nigeria, inappropriate use of lethal force, extrajudicial killings, and intimidation. Others are extortion, illegal arrest and detention, poor funding and lack of adequate training or education, among other ills. Finally, the study made a number of recommendations, as a way forward which included greater emphasis on awareness campaigns to sanitize the police force to be appreciated by members of the public, that NPPRD should be made autonomous and public relations professionals recruited into its fold; rigorous background check of recruits in order to weed out persons of questionable character at the point of entry; and design of curriculum that would inculcate modern policing ideals and democratic values in police rank and file, among others

The practice of framing not only violates a persons right to liberty and security because the victims are arrested, detained, and sentenced on unreasonable grounds,
but framing also violates a persons right not to be tortured. Framing victims have stated they had no choice but to admit to crimes that they did not commit after being
tortured. Despite the clear severity of framing crimes, framing unfortunately is not categorized as a human rights violation or even a crime in Indonesia. It’s seen as
merely a violation of the police code of conduct and thus perpetrators are not punished properly. The absence of proper punishment for framing is aggravated by the
fact that both internal and external monitoring mechanisms of the police institution are very weak. The phenomenon
of framing has stressed the need for reformation in the police institution.
Similarly our additional feature in this CAVEAT also calls for police reform. The article tells of the confession of Susno
Duadji -former National Police Head of Criminal Investigators- stating that a number of high ranking officers were involved corrupt activities during the investigation of an IDR 25 billion (US$ 2,75 millions) tax case. Susno’s confession has polarized public opinion. His supporters see
Susno’s comments as a strong sign for reformation within police institution whereas detractors claim him to be
unethical and manipulative. Either way it is clear that reform is needed to halt the rampant corruption from within the Polri.

Law enforcement and police officials are organised along a ranked structure whereby each officer has an assigned role and a number of persons placed under him to assist. Hence a superior is expected and duty-bound to fulfill his obligations with a sense of accountability and responsibility that earns him respect of those placed below. This presentation examines a few relevant aspects, particularly in the context of human rights observance.
Elections form the mainstay of our Indian Democracy. Our democratic setup bestows on us the right to elect the representatives of the state. Besides, the elected people have the right to choose the Head of the State. The elections in India have a long history. India has both General and State elections as promoted by our federal structure. The Election Commission of India is the apex body that conducts elections in India. Both the General and State Elections are held as per the rules prescribed by the Election Commission. This Commission is composed of high-ranking government officials and is constituted according to the provisions of the Indian Constitution. A great degree of autonomous power is bestowed on the Election Commission to exercise control over the election process. Even the judiciary has no right to intervene while the electoral process is on.

Runnin head: POLICE AND CRIME 1
POLICE AND CRIME 2
Police And Crime: Rough Draft
William Hodge
English 122
Jennifer Chagala
Police should be effective when it comes to their work. There is the need for police officers to achieve their proper and officially sanctioned goals, such as when it comes to things relating to crime and maintaining law and order. Police officers are more than the crime fighters. They are conflict manager traffic controllers, and service providers among other things. Most people perceive these people to be only crime fighters, but this partially part of their work (Niederhoffer, 1967). There is more to policing than only to fight evil. Fighting crime is just partial work of real policing. Real policing is much more. The role is inescapably complex. This paper explains how the members of the public shall enjoy the police service and high quality security provision if they understand the various services, departments and activities that police officers must practice in the areas of their jurisdiction. Enjoying police services are possible through effective strategies the police and other security departments will implement to improve the level of security.
Below are some strategies that will make police effective; hence making it possible for the public to enjoy the services they are providing:
Police training
Police training plays a significant role in helping to ensure effectiveness of policing and attainment of the desired goals. Moreover, through training, police officers are equipped to serve and protect the public. This is through gaining knowledge and skills that are needed to serve the public in a better way. There are shortfall in conduct that has been determined in some police officers. This shortfall in the conduct can be addressed through training officers. The fear that persists when it comes to policing can also be done away with through training.
Criminal activities and ensure security
There are different types of criminal activities that people engage in. Among the criminal activities are theft property theft, identity theft, assault (physical assault, sexual assault), murder, burglary, receipt of stolen goods, false pretense, forgery, and arson among others. This list of criminal activities is very long. Police officers have to ensure those caught in the act of carrying out these activities as well as those suspected are caught and brought to justice or punished. This will help to bring in the element of deterrence in other people.
Police and disaster
Natural and man-made disasters usually occur and result in many loses among people. Disasters are now frequent and their severities have increased. Police officers are called upon most times to help deal with these disasters (Ostrom, Parks, Whita ...

Documentation on The Violation of The Rights of The SuspectLBH Masyarakat
The book you are holding now compiles a report of LBH Masyarakat documentation conducted over one year in 2011. The results of this documentation affirms the stories we have heard before. Nearly all detainees in narcotics cases have experienced some sort of human rights violation during investigative phase, including arbitrary enforcement measures, torture and other mistreatment by the police. This book does not pretend to present a quantitative study. Instead, it provides a more qualitative analysis reflected from the findings.

· Does It Really Exist?
In 2 pages determine which sociological perspective on police subculture do you most agree with and why.
Here are some notes down below to help!!
The Police Subculture
An important aspect of understanding the police is learning about the nature and content of the culture or way of life that they participate in. In this chapter we learned that culture has both material and nonmaterial aspects, which it is constantly undergoing change and that there are many commonalities, and that it is not monolithic. Applying cultural analysis to the police, we learned that they may be considered a part of a subculture, one that is somewhat (though not completely) distinct from the parent or dominant culture. We learned several important characteristics of the police subculture, specifically in the nonmaterial realm, such as ideas of separateness from the public as well as solidarity with it. The police are socialized into this culture through a variety of mechanisms before and during police academy training and during and after field training. Finally, we learned about the interaction between the dominant culture and the police subculture and the consequences of this by looking at another country: the Philippines.
Culture Defined
· Culture
. The total way of life of a society or large group of people
. Close binding relationship between society and culture
· Material Culture
. The tangible objects and inventions devised, used, and understood by a culture

. Intangible items like language, customs, values, norms, principles, etc.
Defining the Police Subculture
· Parent or dominant culture
. Collection of people identified with most powerful group in society
· Subculture
. Associated with group in society different from dominant culture
Police Subculture Tells Officers the Following:
· How to go about their tasks
· How hard to work
· What kind of relationships to have with fellow officers
· What kind of relationships to have with other people
· How to feel about police administrators, judges, and the law
Two Specific Issues Affecting Police Subculture
· Human mortality and death
. Subculture contains pervasive death-related themes, symbols, and images
· Issue of language
. Subculture produces its own jargon and shorthand for insiders
. Keeps relevant individuals in the know and separates them from the public
Characteristics of the Police Subculture
· Shaped by a sense of self-differentiation from the public
· Defines the public in an unfriendly and unflattering manner
· Places importance on police being united and secretive
· View themselves as being different: us vs. them reinforced on both sides
· Emphasis on internal solidarity or social cohesiveness
· Emphasis on isolation
Six “Truths” of Police Subculture
· Police are the only real crime fighters.
· No one understands the nature of police work except fellow officers.
· Loyalty to colleagues counts more than anything else.
· It is impossible to win the .

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
2. Introduction Ensuring the safety of the life and property of its citizens is one of the basic responsibilities of the government in all societies. It is by establishing and maintaining an efficient and an effective police force that the government provides a feeling of security to its citizens. In exercising proper control and superintendence over the police, holding them accountable for the various acts of commission and omission and bringing them close to the community, therefore, become issues of utmost importance in a democratic country. Police have to play a vital role as the protector of Human Rights. And the role of the police is to maintain the law and order in the country. Police work encompasses preventive and protective roles in the course of maintaining law and order. Police should give priority in protecting the rights of the vulnerable section of the society.
3. Police And Human Rights Relation As a product of the society, policemen also display the same characteristics manifest in our society. It is not without reason that the quality of police in any society is generally taken today as an index of the quality of civil life in that society. A trained force, police are expected to be a shade better than the general population. But, this is not happening. If human rights violations by the police in India is largely linked to criminality in the force. This is a serious situation that needs urgent attention from the part of the administrators. It reveals gross inadequacies in the selection and training of policemen. In general, however, people's ambivalence towards the police and their negative opinions of police work and behavior come mainly from a lack of understanding of the nature of police work . In the annual reports of National Human rights Commission it was found that there are a number of allegations of human rights violations leveled against the police.
4. Police statistics Total Crime Reported with the Police : 6.1 Million annually Crime reporting per 10,000 of population :63 Total strength of Civil Police: 1,012,000 Total strength of Armed Police: 3,63,000 Civil Police per 100 square kilometer of area : 43.41 Total women –Police of all ranks : 20,500 Total number of Forensic Science laboratories in the country : 105 Annual Expenditure on Police in India : 0.6%of GDP
5. Disciplinary Procedures The police force, is an institution established for specific reasons, which then shape the behaviour and attitude of those within it. In many Asian countries the police force was created during the colonial era. The current government also confers arbitrary power to the police on the pretext of maintaining law and order, thereby legitimizing human rights violations. The use of such archaic mandates together with conflicting political stances is the reason that policing institutions throughout Asia are lacking in discipline. Unless this breakdown in discipline is addressed, little can be done to improve the effective functioning of the police, as well as regain public confidence in the institution. The following issues, which have concern with the police and their functioning, that are based on the National Police Commission report: Political pressure on the police officers. Frequent threat of transfer by politicians District police taking instructions from Headquarters for every small decision. Lack of leadership in the police. After communal riots, there are always some police officers, against whom action is taken and others go Scot-free.
6. The effects on human rights Most people have heard the argument that respect for human rights is somehow opposed to effective law enforcement. And effective law enforcement means to capture the criminal. A tendency to use overwhelming force in controlling demonstrations, physical pressure to extract information from detainees, or excessive force to secure an arrest can be observed now and then. In fact, violations of human rights by police only make the already challenging task of law enforcement more difficult. The effects of police human rights violations are multi-fold: They erode public confidence They hamper effective prosecutions in court They isolate the police from the community They result in the guilty avoiding sentence, and the innocent being punished They force police agencies to be reactive, rather than preventive in their approach to crime They bring agents and institutions of public authority into disrepute
7. Respecting Human Rights can Help The Police? Respect for human rights by law enforcement agencies actually enhances the effectiveness of those agencies. Where human rights are systematically respected, police officers have developed professionalism in their approaches to solving and preventing crime and maintaining public order. In this sense, respect for human rights by police is, in addition to being a moral, legal and ethical imperative, also a practical requirement for law enforcement. When the police are seen to respect, uphold and defend human rights: Public confidence is built and community cooperation fostered Legal prosecutions are successful in court. Police are seen as part of the community, performing a valuable social function The fair administration of justice is served, and, consequently, confidence in the system An example is set for respect for the law by others in the society Police are able to be closer to the community, and, therefore, in a position to prevent and solve crimes through proactive policing Support is elicited from the media, from the international community, and from higher authorities A contribution is made to the peaceful resolution of conflicts and complaints.
8. Field units : The number of field units at different levels in the country was:
9. 26/11 mumbai attack 26 November 2008 , the unforgettable day in the history of India and an unimaginable day for mumbaikars. The day when the financial capital was attacked by terrorist, when Mumbai lost its top officers. The battle which last for more than 50 hrs was won with the help of NSG commandoes. There was a massive loss in this win as a total of 173 people including the top cops Vijay Salaskar ( Senior Police Inspector and encounter specialist ), Ashok Kamte (Mumbai Police Commissioner), HemantKerkare (Joint commissioner ATS), Major Unnikrishnan were killed by the terrorist. Our policeman can still be seen holding a wooden stick to fight against terrorism whereas the terrorist are high-tech. They use Ak 47, satellites phone and we still don’t have high-tech instruments to fight against them. Hope that the people who scarifies their life for the country and the innocent people who died in the attack get justice some day.
11. The Role Of Police In Protection Of Human Rights The Characteristics of the human rights. He said that human rights by nature are Universal, Inalienable, Undivided, Uniform, Fundamental, Developmental and Progressive. The role played by the Police could play a positive role in the protection of human rights in the following manner: To contribute to the liberty, equality and fraternity in human affairs. To help and reconcile freedom with security and uphold the rule of law. To uphold and protect human rights of the citizens. To build up faith of the people in their protection of human rights by the state. To investigate, detect and prevent the offence. To deal with the minor child, in crisis. To accept public service is as a mission To understand the human rights in true spirit and uphold them.
12. PROBLEMS OF POLICE OFFICERS The criticism, that people who talk about Human Rights do not understand the problems of the police, just as all other citizens have and the situation in which the police work also have to be looked into There is lot of political interference from the top, in the functioning of the police, which the people do not realise. Media should also play its role here by highlighting and appreciating good investigation and work done by the police and not point out only the loopholes of the police functioning. Stress was given on the fact that, all police commission reports, right from 1958, says that; general public does not consider police as a friend. There is a difference between respect for the police and fear for the police. What the citizens have for the police today is fear. Another issue was the role played by police in times of communal violence; the general belief among people is that police also act in a biased manner.
13. Conclusion Efforts should be made to improve the investigative capacity of the police and their confidence. Training should be intensified in scientific and technical investigations and adequate funds should be provided for the same. Seminars on the interaction of the police with various Government functionaries like judges Department of women & child welfare etc, on various. Emphasis to be given on public –police relation. Ways and means to improve the efficiency of the police in protection of Human rights. What is needed is a friendly communication between police and the common man. The police officers have lots of legal powers to control the human rights violations and so it is there responsibility to protect human rights without succumbing to any kind of pressures like that of the media, public and the politicians
