Crime is a
complex issue. With the advancement of science and technology, urbanization,
and the growth of population, it has become more untamable. To combat these, law
making is not the only solution; rather it is the beginning of our efforts. The
real success lies in the proper enforcement of these laws. Police are the
instruments of State to enforce laws. They are the prime agencies tasked with
ensuring security and maintaining law and order in the country. The police are
tasked to carry out few major functions. The fundamental tasks of police are
protection of life and property; prevention and detection of crime; maintenance
of public law and order; and provision of assistance to the public. "The
State is responsible for ensuring a minimum level of order and the police are
one of several State entities tasked with giving effect to this obligation…an
important precondition for adequately evaluating police practice is a full understanding
of the background against which police operate-including all aspects of the
broader security and criminal justice systems."[1]
Today the State is expected to protect the economic, cultural, legal, social,
and political rights of the citizen also.
