INTER-LINKED: Understanding Policing and Police Reforms

Under the Constitution, police is a subject governed by states. To understand policing and police reforms better, we have with us Ms. Devyani Srivastava who is the head of the police reforms program at the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, an international non-government organization headquartered in New Delhi. We aim to have a conversation around legislative policies governing law enforcement agencies in India, structural organization and representation within police bodies, police accountability and its impact on criminal investigations, and finally the reforms that are needed to provide more transparent access to justice.
