Cryme and Punishment

Indian Journal of Criminology and Criminalistics



Kalpana Kohli and G.S.Bajpai*


Introduction:

Characterized by stark cultural diversities and complex social stratification,
policing in Indian society appears to be a tough task. Policing along heightened and,
often-unrealistic public expectations, becomes a major source of criticism. The police
force in India does not assume a positive image. Defined by a rigid bureaucratic cadre,
the police personnel have to work not only to see that crime remains under control but
also have to face ‘systematic’ interference from political masters and other influential  
sectors. On the personal count as well, the police personnel have perennial problems of
basic working, living conditions and welfare facilities. Taken together, the job reflects
tellingly upon their family and the relationships.    
In the face of adverse environment the police personnel tend to become vulnerable
to scores of psychological consequences. One of the key repercussions of these situations
pertains to psychological outcome. The psychological symptoms viz. dissatisfaction, low
job involvement, tension, anxiety, depression, boredom, deprivation, low self-esteem or
low self-concept and psychological fatigue etc. are some of the most common
manifestations being observed in case of police officials who work in adverse
circumstances. 
*Department of Criminology and Forensic Science,  Dr. H.S. Gour University,  Sagar.

The present Study:
The present paper aims at analyzing some precise symptoms of psychological
nature that could be related to various unfavorable aspects of policing. While there can be
many consequences worth studying, this paper is limited to focus upon the three
parameters- frustration, depression and deprivation amongst the two group of police
officials viz., serving police officials and trainee officials




Objectives:
The objectives of the present study are –
(1) To identify the level and degree of (a) frustration (b) depression (c) deprivation
experienced by the police personnel in different situations.
(2) To make a comparison of the selected psychological parameters in the group of
trainee and serving police officials.






Suggestions:
The present study has following suggestions:
(1) The police officials in the present study showed critical psychological
developments hence; there is a definite need to deal the problem.


(2) To address the problem of depression, frustration and the symptoms like
deprivation, there is also need to improve the quality of vertical communication in
the police hierarchy.


(3) The resource crunch in the police setup instills a sense of deprivation. It is
therefore suggested that the policeman specially working in rural and remote areas
must be provided with necessary support.


(4) The study especially highlighted the presence of certain undesirable psychological
symptoms in the training officials too. This is a disturbing trend. The sources of
such type of manifestations in the trainee officials required to be located carefully.
While recruiting the persons to the police force, a comprehensive psychological
assessment would be desirable.


(5) The police departments normally do not have any full time departmental
psychological counselor. The suggestion is to have at least one psychologist in
each police districts.
