Human Rights and Law Enforcement

The essays in this book examine critically the various issues concerning law enforcement and human rights. The author has drawn on his rich and varied experience of working for nearly four decades as a law enforcement officer in different capacities and as the Director General of the National Human Rights Commission. Revealing an alert, analytical and sensitive mind with deep concern and compassion for the disadvantaged victims of human rights violations, Sen provides a deep insight into the problems of policing a democratic society, besides discussing corruption, cyber crimes, crime prevention through community policing and police accountability as well as civilian oversight.
