SYNOPSIS OF CRIMINOLOGY AND PENOLOGY

TOPIC- AN ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONING OF POLICE ADMINISTRATION AND ITS

CRIMINAL ACTION

“All civil governments hold a criminal justice system to maintain the values of their civilized

society. The criminal justice system administers the standard of behaviour required to protect

individuals in the society. The process of criminal justice operates by apprehending,

prosecuting, convicting and sentencing those members of the society who violate the basic

rules of social living. The role of police is decisive because the policeman is the first to arrive

on the scene of crime. Police, first and foremost, work extensively to maintain discipline and

prevent crime, make preventive arrests, conduct investigations and detection, control crowds,

control public in festivals, prevent riots and manage vehicle traffic etc. Like this, the police

play a wide range of functions. In this study, the researcher has tried to explain all aspects of

police in an analytical way in India.”
