Book Description
Police Power and Colonial Rule analyses the increasing deployment and growing authority of the police in the Madras Presidency of British India, demonstrating the centrality of policing to the colonial regime and its legacies. Beginning with the formation of a colonial constabulary in 1859, the book examines the evolving organization and structure of the force, its racial hierarchies, and response to rapidly changing political and social conditions that led up to Indian independence. Based on cutting-edge research, this work explores the contested role of the police in combating nationalist opposition and labour militancy, and shows how the police, through the formation and expansion of armed units, replaced the military in enforcing internal order and suppressing anti-colonial resistance. The book also examines the impact of colonial policing on both rural and urban society in south India and discusses how nationalists opposed police brutality while ultimately seeking ascendancy over the force. Grounded in India's colonial history, the book is also directly relevant to the critical study of postcolonial India and colonial policing around the world. For this revised edition, the author has written a new Introduction setting out the scope of the work and placing it in the context of recent police studies.

Book Description
The police are much more than a segment in the civil administration system. The manner in which they respond to violations of law and order, place restraints on personal freedom, prevent the occurrence of crime and detect crime, all generate debates and controversies. Timely reform is evitable to ensure their ability to cope with emerging challenges to the management of crime and order. Various aspects of policing like its evolution, structure, functioning etc. have been analyzed in this book with the help of primary data collected both from the public as well as the police by applying the method of purposive sampling. Contents: Introduction, Police in Kerala: A Historical Approach, Kerala Police: A Functional Analysis, A Survey of Police Reforms in Kerala, Police Reforms in Kerala: Need and Directions Public Perception, Police Reforms Need and Directions: Police Perspective, Conclusions and Suggestions.
