Papers by Vineet Kapoor
training has on police personnel and the cost involved in police training enterprise, it is important that the training of police is efficient, needs based, smartly managed and goal oriented. This paper deals with conceptual issues in Police Training and how various conceptual issues on Police Training have been taken up in developing an environment of motivated police training culture and professional orientation to Police Training in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which has a police strength of more than one hundred thousand police personnel.
Emancipation from the drudgery of domination and indignity has been addressed by Law, as Law has challenged the traditional social structures of dominations and subordination in order to mainstream justice and human rights to those who lack equality, justice and dignity. Law Enforcement Agents need specialized education in Human Rights, Anti-Bias Attitude, Equality and Access to Justice Principles in order to enforce laws which fight indignities, domination and social subjugation. The Human Rights Training and Education is one field which has been found wanting in the Law Enforcements Agents. It has been observed that the Human Rights Education is not prioritised enough in the capacity building and training of the police and this directly affects the actual realization of the effect of social justice based laws. The social subordination needs to be addressed through an effective law enforcement mechanism. The research paper is designed to explore and build up an understanding of the pedagogy of the Human Rights Education of the police and the organizational socialization factors existing within the institutional structures and cultures of the formal training of the police. The post colonial context of authoritarian, hierarchical and quasi militaristic organizational cultures within which the Indian Police exists ensures that the soft policing issues get compromised in place of the hard policing issues, thereby creating a base where the socialization of police men and women into the police service which remains wanting in community orientation and common citizen's rights realization, directly affecting the access to justice of those who need the force of law for emancipation and restoration of their dignity.
the recipients of development and consequent obligation of the duty bearing state and other
actors depends upon the interaction and mutually reinforcing relationship amongst human
rights, development and democracy. The grass roots level democracy at the village level
ushered in by a constitutional amendment, which defines the legal framework of the
Panchayati Raj Institutions in India, has close link with the rights based approach to
development, as it makes participation a right which in itself politicizes economic and social
rights. This empowers the citizens in the remotest rural areas in the key process of decision
making by enacting policies at the local level on how to distribute economic and social
resources. The linkages of human rights, development and democracy within the local context
of the law, policy and practice, become crucial factors to examine while assessing the
elements of internationally recognized human rights based approach to development, within
the mandate of the Panchayati Raj Institutions. The mandate and the constitutional authority
extended to the Panchayati Raj system has the inherent strength of a defined legal
framework, which targets the human rights of the individuals within a developmental
context, through the structure of governance in favour of the disadvantaged. The Panchayati
Raj system empowers and enables the rights holding citizens to use their reasoned agency and
to advance their rights to carve out a life they value.
