Policing has generally become a complex area of public
administration in our times. Where however a society is sharply
divided on ethnic, linguistic or economic lines, police takes are
rendered even more problematic. The author, a senior Indian Police
Service officer, with more than three decades of field experience
and who has also observed the US police from close quarters,
attempts a comparative study of the two systems. His finding, that
notwithstanding their obvious cultural differences and disparities
in terms of economic and technological development, police forces
in the two countries share common problems -- a spurt in violent
crime, terrorism, and low police regard for human rights -- should
provide food for thought for the police leadership. There is a need
for innovations in police methods of operation, such as community
policing and computer-aided response to service demands from the
public. There is an equally strong case for enlarging the base of
recruitment of police personnel so that they become more acceptable
to the various segments of a highly fractured society. In the
authors view, many interesting speculations are possible about the
future of policing.
